MINIMUM SWING

THE 245XR HAS REDUCED TAILSWING WHICH MAXIMISES ITS POTENTIAL TO PERFORM SAFELY IN TIGHT AND CONGESTED ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS MODERN HIGHWAYS AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.

// The 245XR tracked excavator has a tailswing radius of 5ft 8in, 40% less than the 220X, allowing it to work safely against buildings and road barriers.

// The short front swing and reduced tailswing give a working radius reduction of 5ft 3in, compared to the 220X.

// It can work in a smaller area than the 220X, providing great comfort and power in a compact footprint.

MAXIMUM SPACE

DESPITE HAVING REDUCED TAILSWING, THE 245XR FEATURES THE JCB COMMANDPLUS CAB, ONE OF THE BIGGEST, MOST COMFORTABLE AND EASY-TO-OPERATE CABS ON THE MARKET.

// Customer-led control layout, with operator feedback contributing to the design.

// Double cushion viscous mounts reduce vibration and cab noise to 69dB(A).

// Seat-mounted joystick and switch controls move with the operator.

// Bluetooth radio is fully integrated into the control screen.

EXTREME STRENGTH

IT'S TAKEN 4 YEARS OF HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT TO BUILD YOU A MACHINE THAT DOESN'T JUST LOOK STRONG, IT IS STRONG.

// Our DIESELMAX engines are proven in 70 different machines globally.

// Machine shaker rig testing replicated 15,000 hours of tracking and vibration.

// 30,000 window and door operation tests prove component quality.

// Hot and cold climate testing (131°f to -22°f) in locations around the world.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTENTION TO DETAIL

THE NEW 245XR REDUCED TAIL SWING EXCAVATOR UTILIZES STATE-OF-THE-ART AUTOMOTIVE-STYLE PRODUCTION FACILITIES TO BRING YOU NOT JUST GREAT EXCAVATORS, BUT EXCEPTIONAL ONES.

// The whole design is optimised to protect the machine; side bay doors are set back from the counterweight face and the right hand platform corner sits within the slew radius to prevent damage and scratching.

// New recessed counterweight design protects the rear end from impact damage.

// 1,232 validation checks are performed to replicate real-life applications.

// Robot welding of dig end and undercarriage ensures quality and accuracy.
