JCB 380LC QM
Pros
- Powerful engine & torque: 284 hp class power (212 kW) for tough applications like quarrying and stone cutting.
- Heavy-duty design: Built for quarry work with reinforced boom/arm and robust undercarriage.
- Large bucket capacity: ~1.4 – 1.8 m³ buckets for high productivity in earth/rock handling.
LiuGong 921 Di
Pros
- Offers respectable digging depth (~5.9 m) and horizontal reach (~9.2 m), making it suitable for medium‑sized construction and earthmoving tasks like trenching, foundation work, and site prep.
- The boom and reach balance enables both digging and loading without needing heavy long‑reach modifications.
- Compared with heavier or lighter models, the 921Di’s boom reach fits well in the 20‑22 t excavator segment
