About JCB 55Z Excavator Overview

JCB 55Z is a 5520 kg mini excavator equipped with a 35.7 kW Perkins 404D-22 diesel engine. Its Zero Tail Swing design keeps the rear of the machine within the track width. This allows operators to work close to walls, buildings and road barriers. The machine offers a maximum digging depth of 3.84 metres and a maximum digging reach of 6.2 metres. These dimensions help when digging utility trenches, foundations and drainage lines.

The boom swing function on this JCB Excavator provides 70° left and 55° right movement. This helps operators dig alongside structures without repositioning the machine. A closed centre hydraulic system delivers smooth multi function operation. The excavator also features a 9 inch colour display, four work modes, auto idle and JCB LiveLink telematics. These features monitor machine performance and reduce fuel consumption.

JCB 55Z Price in India

JCB 55Z Excavator price depends on the machine configuration and optional equipment. Factors such as the cabin type, track option, bucket selection and hydraulic attachments can affect the final cost. On Infra Junction, buyers can explore JCB 55Z specifications, features, images and attachment options. They can also connect with authorised JCB Dealers to get the latest quotation, availability and after sales service.
