À propos · JCB 86C-2Aperçu
The JCB 86C-2 is an 8-tonne class mini-excavator designed for compact excavation, trenching, and groundworks where a balance between machine size and digging capability is required. It belongs to a segment of crawler excavators that sit above the sub-5-tonne compact machines yet remain maneuverable enough for constrained urban or semi-urban sites. The 86C-2 designation places it within JCB's mid-range excavator lineup, reflecting a specification suited to contractors requiring consistent daily productivity on medium-scale civil and groundworks projects.
Applications typiquesLieu d'utilisation de cette machine
Machines of this class are routinely deployed on utility installation, drainage, foundation excavation, and road construction support tasks. Their size makes them practical for both open-site earthmoving and work in areas with limited access, such as residential developments or roadside projects. Attachment compatibility, typically including buckets, hydraulic breakers, and grabs, broadens their usefulness across groundworks, demolition preparation, and landscaping scopes.
Inspection du marché de l'occasionCe qu'il faut vérifier avant d'acheter
When inspecting a used 8-tonne class excavator, buyers should assess undercarriage wear on tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a significant portion of ongoing ownership cost in this machine class. The condition of the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings warrants close attention, particularly on machines that have been used intensively with hydraulic attachments. A full hydraulic system check, including cylinder seals and hose condition, is advisable, alongside a review of service history to confirm that scheduled maintenance has been completed to the manufacturer's intervals. Engine condition, coolant and oil analysis records, and the operational history of any fitted quick-coupler system should all factor into the pre-purchase assessment.
Marché actuelPosition tarifaire
The European market average for the JCB 86C-2 stands at EUR 46,380, with transactions ranging from EUR 21,480 at the lower end to EUR 71,304 at the upper end of the market. This spread reflects the influence of machine age, hours, condition, and specification on achieved prices across the segment. The JCB 86C-2 competes in the 8-tonne class against equivalents from manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, and Doosan, all of which are represented in the European used-equipment market at comparable price points.
