- Well ventilated CAB with roof hatch & removable front glass ensures high operator comfort.
- High visibility for digging at height through additional glass provided in front of the cab.
- The fully air conditioned cab is with cooling and heating function. Temperature control function is an added feature to maintain desired in-cab temperature in both, hot and cold weather conditions. Air vents are placed at convenient locations for excellent cooling.
- The cab is mounted on 6 viscous mounts to absorb vibrations thus, reducing fatigue of the operator.
- The deluxe operator seat provides high level of seating comfort, it not only adjusts as per weight, seating angle and back rest angle but also facilitates forward and backward movements.
CONVENIENT
- Swing lock system prevents unintended swing operation, providing greater safety.
- Belly guards are fitted at the lower frame of the machine to protect against damage to rotary coupling and hoses.
- Accumulator helps to bring down the boom, arm or bucket back to the ground without starting the engine as well as making parking of the front-end safer by helping to relieve hydraulic pressure.
- Safety lever lock fully isolates hydraulic functions to avoid unintended movements. Our 2GO system means the servo isolator lock can be released only with two separate inputs.
- Safe start of the engine is ensured with the Engine Start Safety System. It prevents sudden machine operations by isolating hydraulic system at the start of engine. To ensure safe start of the machine, the engine can be started only when the servo isolator lock is ON.
- An emergency stop switch is provided to switch off the engine immediately, if required.
Safety
With many protective features JCB 385LC ensures the utmost safety of the operator even in arduous situations, giving you more peace of mind.
- LiveLink provides easy & remote monitoring of the machine on & off-site, thus, ensuring higher output and lower maintenance costs. It helps machine owners to know service, operation & security aspects of the machine including location tracking, health alerts, fuel levels, performance report, fleet management etc.
- Cab front guard ensures machine and operator safety by protecting front wind screen glass from stones.
- The guards on the working lights protect them from external damage thereby, reducing possible repair cost and ensuring high uptime.
- The heavy duty plate of track motor guard protects travel motors as it can withstand the damage from rocks.
- Anti-slip top covers ensure safety with punched steel plates that give optimum grip even in wet conditions. Bolt-on plates have recessed bolts to reduce trip hazards.
- Anti-engine restart system saves starter from damage, preventing it from starting automatically while the engine is ON, thus, ensuring high uptime and saving possible repair costs.
