JCB invests in the future with his new business venture

This project has led to the creation of the new 'Division of JCB light equipment' and is designed to strengthen the presence of JCB in a market where they sell almost 130,000 units per year. Machines JCB Vibromax is will produce include a range of 15 one-way trays, reversible trays and padded used in construction projects on a smaller scale where the Earth, stone, hard ground and pavement must be compacted. Among the products exposed in Intermat 2009 also VMF70 and VMF90, one-way trays that are part of the range produced by this new venture are present.

In the words of the Chief Executive Officer of the JCB group, Matthew Taylor: "the light compaction equipment market generates annual sales of £ 275 million and it is therefore a great potential for JCB." "The new factory of JCB Attachments gives us a real chance that JCB grow in this sector and increase our sales in this important market."

Europe and North America offer the opportunity of growth of this sector with the largest customers to rental companies and service companies. Trays and JCB Vibromax padded were produced in the factory of JCB Vibromax in Leipzig, Germany. This change to its production in the United Kingdom will enable you to increase the manufacture of heavy roller and tandem computers in Germany.

JCB bought Vibromax compaction equipment German company in 2005, renaming the company as JCB Vibromax. JCB Attachments offers a range of more than 3,000 implements for the construction, agriculture, green areas and industry sectors.

The last midiexcavadora of 6.580 kilograms of JCB, presented at Intermat 2009, 8065 RTS model (cantilever reduced) is designed to provide a more powerful, secure and versatile machine for contractors and alquiladores, designed to replace the 8060.

The JCB MIDI excavators are known in the market for control, service, performance and versatility. And the new 8065 maintains these characteristics, to which were added in addition a new cabin has no comparison in comfort and visibility for the operator.

The 8065 takes an engine turbo new 54,3 kW, Tier III of Isuzu. This, along with the reduction of 117 mm of the cantilever of the machine, making it more productive when working in confined spaces. New excavator is also a rocker for heavy work that offers better forces of boot both the rocker and the bucket. With a maximum depth of excavation of 4,350 mm and a height of discharge of 4.271 mm, they make a package for leading excavation in its class. The design of a single piece of the rocker reduces the need for spot welds, increasing its durability, in addition the hoses have been placed through the 'kingpost' to protect them from potential damage at the time that are easily accessible.

In this machine have combined levels of comfort and style of the type automobile with design features of new, innovative and technological excavator, with what the JCB 8065 marks a new standard in regards to the environment of the cockpit of a midiexcavadora.
