Take on the tightest job sites without sacrificing durability. The JCB 18Z-1 is our smallest true zero tailswing excavator, allowing operators to work flush against obstacles safely and efficiently. Its rugged H-frame undercarriage can retract down to just 39 inches to squeeze through narrow residential gates, then extend out to 52 inches for maximum stability while digging. Hoses are internally routed through the boom for superior protection, while the highly efficient hydraulic system delivers over 4,000 lbf of bucket tearout force. With highly towable transport weights starting at just 3,691 lbs, moving this compact powerhouse from site to site has never been easier
