Mini Excavators

A Backhoe’s excavator arm offers a 180 degree working range from the rear of the machine. An excavator can slew 360 degrees.

The JCB electric excavator is part of a new generation of electric products with zero emissions at the point of use. These fully electric mini excavators have a long battery life and can be charged quickly, so you can reduce emissions without sacrificing capability.

The 8008E CTS JCB electric excavator is completely standalone and free of tethers. This is designed to improve safety onsite and eliminate the risk of any trip hazards for your team.

Livelink Lite is available from factory as an option for the 8008E CTS electric excavator. Livelink can also be purchased from JCB Service and retrofitted to the machine. JCB LiveLink is designed to maximise uptime, reduce delays and increase revenue by bringing you clearer data, with clear actions for your equipment.

If the machine is left on, but not working, the battery will run down at a very low rate to conserve power and last 120 hours before recharging.

Part of JCB’s 3.5 tonne range, JCB’s 36C-1 has a maximum lift capacity of 2063 kg at ground level. 

With a conventional tailswing for greater stability, it has an operating weight of 3,759 kg, a maximum dig depth of 3.48 m, maximum dump height of 3.53 m, and an 18.4 kW engine power. 
For context, this makes it ideal for construction projects, ground working, and garden landscaping.

Even after 2000 full charges and discharge cycles (expected to be over 10 years) the batteries still have over 85% of their capacity left.

The 19C-1E electric excavator operates using a 4 battery pack which, when fully charged, will complete a full day’s work. The machine’s battery will last for 5 hours of full-time operation, which equates to a full day on site when you account for downtime.  
The on board charger gives a 20-80% charge time of 10.5 hours from a 110V supply or 5 hours from a 240V supply. The fast charge option has a charging time from empty of 2.5 hours from a 415V supply.

The diesel and electric compact excavator share the same structure, TOPS frame, dig end, hydraulics and controls, meaning they perform in exactly the same way. The only difference is that the power pack changes from a diesel to electric, which brings you a wealth of benefits onsite – from less vibration for increased durability to reduced noise levels for greater driver comfort. There’s a lot to love about JCB E-TECH.

The 8008E JCB electric excavator comes with both 110V and 230V charging cables. To charge your machine you plug the cable into the rear of the machine via the rear service door – making charging simple. If you’d like to know more about how charging works, please refer to the operator’s manual.
