JCB 520X LC
Pros
- Powerful 400 HP engine delivers excellent performance.
- Operating weight of up to 55,300 kg ensures high stability.
- Large bucket options up to 3.4 m³ support high-volume material.
ZOOMLION ZE215E
Pros
- 9.6–9.8 m digging/reaching distance is competitive in the 20-ton class — enough for standard trenching and material placement tasks.
- 9.6 m max digging height means you can load many AY/HD trucks and dump into bins without repositioning too often.
- 6.7–6.8 m dumping height lets you build moderate stockpiles or load medium chassis vehicles without excessive boom extension.
