CHANDOS DIGS DEEP WITH MIGHTY JCB 370X

The new JCB 370X is heavy-duty earthmover which brings industry-leading levels of productivity, durability, and reliability to the 35-40 tonne sector.  www.jcb.com Withington in Greater Manchester-based Chandos Civil Engineering has invested in the new machine – JCB’s biggest and most powerful ever X Series excavator - for demanding earthmoving jobs at its sites across the region. Supplied by dealer Gunn JCB, the new model joins 85 JCB machines in the Chandos fleet including tracked excavator and cabbed site dumper models. The new JCB 370X is heavy-duty earthmover which brings industry-leading levels of productivity, durability, and reliability to the 35-40 tonne sector. Powered by a Stage V compliant 8.9-litre, Cummins engine, it boasts a 14% power increase over the outgoing JCB JS370, with 240kW (322hp) available at just 1,700rpm. The engine delivers this maximum power within a reduced operating rev range, to increase fuel economy and reduce overall noise levels. The purchase follows the impressive performance of many existing JCB 140X and 220X models in the Chandos excavator line-up. “We are increasingly seeing projects where attenuation tanks for water storage are becoming the norm. Culverts for handling larger volumes of water are also now a regular aspect of our work. With their sizes increasing, so does their weight and the new 370X beats previous machines hands down for lifting capabilities,” says Danny Molloy, Chandos Civil Engineering Director & Co-Owner. www.jcb.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
