Making the most of JCB UX

The JCB 245XR excavator comes integrated with JCB UX, our innovative operator user experience solution designed to enhance all-round convenience, comfort, efficiency, and control.

• With multiple personalised profiles that you can easily transition between and a customisable climate control system, JCB UX means you can have your machine, your way.
• JCB UX is here to make life easier with a simplified attachment selection, an easy-to-connect phone sync system, and a consistent interface across machines. 

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 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.
