JS160

Before you buy an excavator, you need to know it's going to be tough enough to perform any job you ask of it. Fortunately, with a JS160, strength and durability come as standard.

The reinforced boom and dipper is made of high tensile strength steel, with a single piece wrapper plates and internal baffle plates for long life durability. A closed box section revolving frame increases strength and simultaneously reducing stress. This also means it is highly resistant to impact damage.

  • The 7" colour multi-function display is easy to read in all light conditions, provides instant operational information.
  • An innovative low-level bonnet provides excellent rearward visibility.
  • The Advanced Tool Select feature can set up auxiliary hydraulic circuits quickly to match flow and pressure requirements of an attachment.

LESS SERVICING, MORE SERVICE

The JS160 has been designed to be low maintenance and easily serviceable. Making it affordable, efficient and productive.

  • The air filter on a JS160 is easily accessible, and a double-element construction simplifies cleaning.
  • The engine radiator, hydraulic cooler and intercooler can be serviced individually yet cleaned easily because they're mounted side by side.

THE SAFE CHOICE

On-site safety is crucial, so we've designed the JS160 to incorporate as many cutting edge safeguards as possible.
