JCB launches 422ZX wheel loader
New rig designed to deliver productivity while keeping fuel consumption lowJCB claims its new 12-tonne wheel loader uses 26 per cent less fuel compared to other brands on the market.
The 422ZX, according to JCB, has been designed with the Australian market in mind and delivers productivity, serviceability and comfort for operators.
"We know that managing fuel costs is essential, so we’ve worked hard to create a wheel loader that helps keep fuel costs down without compromising on productivity," says JCB Construction Equipment Australia’s National Product Manager for Wheel Loaders, Deon Cope.
The new machine features a 500-hour service interval and a gullwing bonnet side panel design that allows ground level access to service check points.
It also features a spacious ROPS and FOPS cab with in-cab heater and air conditioning.
"The 422ZX uses proven technology and components for ease of maintenance and maximum uptime, including a JCB Dieselmax engine, delivering a powerful 525Nm of torque for excellent digging and loading capabilities.
"An emergency steer system is also fitted, allowing for machine recovery should you lose power, giving operators the ability to steer the machine into a safe area if a malfunction should occur, not impacting the rest of the worksite flow," Cope says.
For harsh and dusty working environments like demolition sites, the machine can be supplied with additional belly guards to protect the underside of the loader and a reversible cooling fan to prevent dust build-up in the cooling pack.
Weighing in at 11,900kg, the JCB 422ZX is ideal for a range of applications in construction, quarrying, demolition and waste handling.
It is available in the country now. Visit jcbcea.com.au for more information.
