JCB 8008 CTS Mini Excavators for Sale (25)

Launched back in 2018, the 15C-1 model of JCB mini excavator was launched four years after the first new generation took to the stage in 2014. This conventional tail swing, 1,500 kg digger comes with either a full cab or a canopy – most of the second hand examples here at Plant Pages have the canopy option as weight is critical in this size of machine. With the 11.7kW engine that also features in larger JCB models, the Perkin 403J engine is well suited to the task in hand. Marketed as a lower specification machine than the larger sibling, the 16C-1 , our smaller machine is priced for the... Read More

The JCB 16C-1 mini digger was initially marketed in the UK alongside its smaller sibling, the 15C-1. Where the lower specified machine has fallen from the current model offering, the 16C-1 sits front and centre as the conventional tail swing, 1.6 tonne mini excavator of choice from the JCB stable of machines. Powered by a Perkins 403J-07 diesel engine with a gross power of 11.7kW, the difference between this machine and the 19C-1 further up the range is only related to digging depth, height and reach – the dimensions and power of the machines are identical.
