The 8026 CTS is one of the largest excavators you can tow behind a 3.5-tonne vehicle.

This JCB mini digger’s power is provided by the Perkins 400 series Tier IIIa, a transverse 18.4 kW motor that delivers 96kN of torque at 1800 RPM. A tailswing of 470mm more than the 8025 ZTS, combined with a very low centre of gravity, provides a 19% greater lift capacity than the market leader.

At the 8026 CTS compact excavator’s dig end, our box-fabricated boom and dipper is capable of 2.74m dig depth, 4.77m reach and 3.22m dump height. Excellent bucket rotation and class-leading tear-out forces mean great productivity. Versatility-wise, you can easily attach hammers, compactor plates and more.

This robust mini excavator’s undercarriage, meanwhile, uses 3 bottom rollers, 1 top roller, plus heavy duty track idler guides and grease tensioners.
