85Z-1 Compact Excavator

At JCB, we’ve been building tracked excavators for over 50 years. Our 85Z compact excavator, a product of this experience and insight, has been designed to be robust, strong and durable without compromising performance.
JCB’s 85Z is a high performance, productive excavator. Peak power and torque at low engine speeds makes for efficient cycles, and there’s a wealth of innovative design features to get the most from every drop of fuel.

We’ve always believed that a fundamental part of high productivity is a comfortable, ergonomic working environment. Therefore, you’ll find that cabs and controls on an 86C are great places to work, even for long stints.

A safe site is of extreme importance to any owner; just like machinery that’s easy and fast to service. The 85Z will protect the machinery, operators and bystanders.

Our compact excavators are designed to give you more than just incredible performance and long service life. Machines like the 85Z will also provide ultimate value for the money – on and off your jobsites.
