Hitachi ZX85 Electric
Pros
- Zero emissions
- Very low noise
- Low operating cost
JCB NXT 215LC
Pros
- Strong engine & digging performance – Powered by a Cummins 140 HP engine with good torque (~571 Nm), giving solid power for medium-duty earthmoving and general construction tasks.
- Robust build & stability – With an operating weight ~21,500 kg, a wide track gauge, and a large undercarriage, it offers better stability on various ground conditions compared to lighter competitors.
- Good digging force – High bucket digging force (~131.9 kN) helps in tougher digging applications and load handling
