JCB 18Z
Pros
- Zero tail swing design lets you work in confined spaces without the rear counterweight hitting obstacles.
- Easy access service panels and 180° opening door make maintenance quicker.
- Heavy‑duty steel bodywork and ROPS/TOPS canopy protect the machine and operator.
Tata Hitachi Zaxis 23 U
Pros
- Zero Tail Swing: The rear of the machine stays within the track width, making it perfect for working next to walls or in narrow lanes.
- Versatility: Equipped with a boom swing feature, allowing you to dig offset to the machine's path (useful for digging foundations along walls).
- Ease of Transport: At roughly 2.3 tons, it can be easily transported on a standard small truck or trailer.
