JCB’s new 5.5-ton mini-excavator is available as both a reduced-tail-swing model (8055 RTS) and as a zero-tail-swing model (8055 ZTS). Weighing 11,464 pounds, the 8055’s design includes factory-fitted air conditioning and a combined hammer and low-flow hydraulic circuit that works with secondary auxiliary piping. According to JCB, the low-flow circuit will be particularly useful with rotating hydraulic attachments and with the company’s new hydraulic thumb.
