Boom Boom

In response to growing customer demand, JCB have introduced a modular boom system for their JS330XD tracked excavator.

The original 21m mono boom was specifically designed for high-reach work and was often replaced with a standard excavator once the upper structure of the building had been demolished. With the modular system, the high-reach boom can now be hydraulically disconnected into a docking cradle once the high-level work is complete. The specially adapted JS330XD base machine can then pick up a two-piece boom that is designed for medium-height demolition or for working at ground level and below.
