À propos · JCB JS130Aperçu
The JCB JS130 is a crawler excavator in the 14-tonne class, delivering 109 hp and an operating weight of 14,126 kg. Its standard bucket capacity of 0.66 m3 places it firmly in the mid-range of the 13-to-15-tonne excavator segment, a category widely used across civil engineering, utilities, and general construction. JCB positions the JS130 as a mainstream workhorse within this class, balancing machine size with site versatility.
Applications typiquesLieu d'utilisation de cette machine
The 14-tonne class is well suited to earthmoving, trench excavation, foundation preparation, and drainage work on medium-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Machines of this size are also commonly deployed in aggregate handling, road building, and site clearance where a compact footprint relative to digging capacity is an operational advantage. The JS130's bucket capacity makes it a practical choice for loading trucks in the 20-to-30-tonne payload range without the overhead of a larger, heavier machine.
Inspection du marché de l'occasionCe qu'il faut vérifier avant d'acheter
When inspecting a JS130 or any machine in this weight class, begin with the undercarriage, as track wear on crawler excavators is among the most significant cost drivers in a used purchase. Check track pad condition, roller wear, and sprocket profiles carefully. Inspect the boom, dipper, and bucket pin bores for excessive play, and examine the bucket edge and side cutters for wear. Verify that the hydraulic system shows no visible leaks at hose connections, cylinders, or the slew ring. Request the full service record to confirm oil and filter change intervals have been observed, and check whether the machine has been operated with a variety of attachments, which can accelerate hydraulic system wear. A cold-start inspection is advisable to observe hydraulic response and check for smoke or unusual noise from the engine before it reaches operating temperature. Confirm the condition of the cab, controls, and any fitted technology such as load-management or grade-control systems, as replacement parts and calibration for these systems can be significant cost items.
Marché actuelPosition tarifaire
The JCB JS130 is regularly cross-shopped against the Doosan DX140 and the Hyundai R140, both of which compete in the same 13-to-15-tonne crawler excavator segment. The JS130's operating weight of 14,126 kg sits between lighter and heavier configurations offered within this competitive set, and buyers evaluating these models will typically compare power output, undercarriage specification, and dealer support networks alongside the JCB's 109 hp engine rating and 0.66 m3 bucket capacity. Within any given cohort of JS130 units on the market, the attributes that move a machine toward the stronger end of its price band include low recorded hours, full service history, a well-maintained undercarriage, the presence of a quick coupler, and the breadth of attachments included with the sale. Machines with high hours, worn tracks, or no documentation will sit at the lower end of the band regardless of overall condition. Configuration choices such as long-reach boom arrangements or factory-fitted auxiliary hydraulics also influence positioning relative to standard-specification examples.
