The JCB 220 crawler excavator is designed for paving and repairing road surfaces in extreme working conditions. The machine belongs to the middle category of construction equipment and is characterized by high productivity and efficiency. The JCB 220 excavator has such performance characteristics due to the high power of the engine, the thrust of which is sufficient to pull the machine out of viscous soil and overcome soft ground.

Features of JCB 220 excavators

The JCB 220 Crawler Excavator's state-of-the-art control system, powerful engine, advanced features, added undercarriage protection and superior performance enable a wide range of applications:

• Demolition of various buildings.
• Development of soils of any category. Frozen soil massifs are not an exception.
• Transporting large volumes of soil while working on dumps.

Work can be carried out in any conditions and any complexity, including on slopes and uneven ground. The manufacturer offers a wide range of attachments, represented by buckets of various sizes and configurations, hydraulic hammers, hydraulic shears and others. The quick-hitch carriage increases the speed of changing working equipment, so that in one shift the operator can work with various devices and perform work according to their intended use. Reliability, versatility, durability, economical maintenance, and the ability to work in difficult conditions play an important role.

Dignity

Compared to peers, JCB 220 excavators have the following benefits noted by consumers:

• Increasing the pressure in the hydraulic system allows you to increase the breakout force of the working body and boom by 10%.
• Longer oil change intervals with the advanced Plexus cleaning system.
• Ergonomic controls.
• Increasing the pressure in the hydraulic system provides power reserve.
• Main components are easily accessible for easy maintenance.
• The power of the excavator is adjusted depending on the complexity of the work performed.
• The presence of a package of additional options - climate control, car radio and others.
• Attractive appearance.
• High security.
• Wide range of operator seat adjustment, comfortable cab interior.

Specifications JCB JS 220

Regardless of climatic conditions, the excavator can transport large volumes of goods, carry out excavation and prepare construction sites. At the same time, the technical characteristics correspond to those stated in the instruction manual for the JCB 220 excavator:

• Operating weight - 22 t.
• Turning radius - 10 m.
• Maximum dig depth - 6.5 m.
• Standard bucket capacity - 1.25 m3.
• Maximum unloading height - 8 m.
• Ground pressure during operation - from 38 to 52 kPa.
• Maximum travel speed is 5.6 km/h.
• Tipping load - 12.5 t.

JCB 220 crawler excavator dimensions:

• Body width - 2.9 m. When installing attachments, it increases to 3.3 m.
• Length - 9.5 m.
• Wheelbase - 3.37 m.
• Track width - 0.5 m.

To reduce ground pressure, a 0.9 m wide tape is available as an additional option.

With medium dimensions and excellent technical characteristics, the weight of the excavator is 20 tons.with a slope of 35 degrees at a maximum speed of 5.6 km / h with a ground pressure of 38 to 52 kPa.

Maintenance and operation

The first performance check of the JCB 220 is done after 1000 operating hours due to the need to lubricate the stick and boom mechanism. During the next operation, similar intervals are made. The oil is changed every 5000 hours. The innovative filtration system, which retains particles as small as 2 microns, allows these intervals to be extended. Replacing the air filter is greatly simplified due to its simple design.

The serviceability of the JCB 220 excavator depends on the following features:

• One-piece hood equipped with pneumatic lifts. The hood can be lifted from front to back to provide access to the engine compartment.
• Intercooler, radiator and hydraulic oil tank are in block arrangement. This design allows you to quickly and conveniently carry out diagnostics, repair and replacement of elements.
• Filters - fuel and two oil - also have a block arrangement.
• Information about the oil level and malfunctions in the operation of the excavator is displayed.

As an option, the LiveLink system is available to control the location of the excavator and protect the machine from theft.

When the JCB 220 is idle, the hydraulic system stops and the control levers are locked. The engine can be started with the levers locked and the hydraulic system turned off.

Design

Cruciform swivel design frame provides reliability and strength. The attachments of the excavator are made of high-strength steel and reinforced in places of maximum loads. Internal partitions make the boom mechanism more "strong" in order to increase its strength. The arrow itself is cast from solid metal. Welded connection of the undercarriage and swivel design guarantees reliability and stability. Additional strength characteristics in the welded elements are created by welded joints.

The safety system and operator comfort are carefully designed. Attachments and boom mechanism are equipped with hydraulic dampers, which reduces vibration and dynamic loads.

Attachments

The cost of excavators depends on the technical characteristics of the JCB 220 and attachments included in the kit. The manufacturer offers a wide range of additional equipment for a variety of tasks:

• Standard, profiling, crushing buckets.
• 1.5-2m tooth buckets with fine teeth and ESCO teeth.
• Stone head.
• Scissors, hydraulic hammers and carriages to speed up the change of working equipment.
• Capture for sorting cargo.

Mountedequipment allows you to expand the scope of use of equipment, increase versatility and improve the technical characteristics of the JCB 220.

Cost

In the basic configuration, the cost of a new excavator is 4.8 million rubles. A used model with excellent technical characteristics JCB 220 will cost 2.2-3 million rubles.

The excavator can be rented. The cost of one hour of work varies depending on the rented attachments and can be 1.5-1.6 thousand rubles.
