Machine Description
The JCB Tracked Excavator
The JCB Tracked Excavator is a self propelled machine
comprising a tracked undercarriage and a revolving upper
structure which incorporates a boom, dipper, bucket and
swing mechanism. It is mainly used for digging below
ground level with bucket motions towards the machine.
The upper structure can swing 360 degrees and discharge
material while the tracked undercarriage remains
stationary.
Intended Use
The machine is intended to be used under normal
conditions for the applications described in this manual. If
the machine is used for other purposes or in dangerous
environments, for example in a flammable atmosphere or
in areas with dust containing asbestos, special safety
regulations must be followed and the machine must be
equipped for use in these environments.
The machine is primarily designed for excavating with a
bucket, without movement of the undercarriage during the
work cycle. An excavator work cycle normally comprises
excavating, elevating, swinging and discharging of
material. An excavator can also be used for object or
material handling/transportation provided it meets the
lifting regulations.
