Because of their ability to achieve compaction depth, vibratory rollers are predominantly used for asphalt compaction. Or, for when fully smooth surfaces need to be created.

Due to their size, smaller vibratory rollers can be used to enable compaction depth on soil in compact spaces.

Construction rollers are used for constructing materials such as soil, asphalt and gravel.

The material can be compacted using static roller compaction to provide surface works, or dynamic roller compaction (vibratory), to provide compaction depth and prepare surfaces for construction. As a result, construction rollers can be used for the construction of roads, railways, airports, buildings, bridges, sports pitches and foot paths.

JCB offers LiveLink Lite as an option for all electric scissors. This provides you with real-time location information, machine battery voltage, and key on/off state along with our suite of standard LiveLink features such as geofencing or operational hour curfews.

Earth drills are versatile tools, available in a range of sizes and styles tailored for the task at hand. By using a spiral-shaped earth auger drill bit, these tools are used to excavate holes in the ground to support building work. They are essential for the installation of fences, telegraph poles, signs, and planting trees.

It depends on the drill! Earth augers can be used for a variety of drilling tasks, with each product designed to work with specific materials and terrains. 

At JCB, we manufacture earth drills specifically to be used alongside our:

Compact excavators

Heavy excavators

Hydradigs

Backhoes

Skid steers

The depth of drilling varies on the equipment used. To find exact technical specifications of each earth auger, please refer to our JCB Attachments guide.

Compaction means to force liquid and gases out of a material and make smaller particles to fill the voids in between bigger ones to increase the density of the material.

As a result, compaction rollers can be used to compact either soil or asphalt with the aim of increasing load bearing capacity, reducing settling of the material, providing better stability, and decreasing water seepage.

Compaction rollers are the umbrella term for different types of rollers that work in slightly different ways, such as tandem rollers and soil compactors.

A full charge takes approximately 8 hours.

The electric scissors are fitted with a GPD 750W/30A high frequency sealed charger.

The battery pack will last for the equivalent to a full day's work, subject to the type of application.
