JCB adds three new X Series crawler excavators

JCB has expanded its X Series crawler excavator line with the launch of three models in the popular 13- to 16-t (28,660- to 35,270-lb) sector. This follows the successful introduction of the 210X and 220X last year, both competing in the 21-t (46,300-lb) category.

The 21-t market remains the biggest single weight sector in the global crawler excavator market, with 13- to 16-t machines the second most popular weight range. That said, the latter market is by far the biggest sector in JCB's domestic market of the UK and Ireland, accounting for almost 60% of all tracked excavator sales.
