245XRD Excavator

Introducing the second of JCB’s new X Series variants to arrive in Australia — engineered to set a new benchmark in the 25-tonne reduced tail swing class.

From day one, JCB’s vision was clear: to design and build the most advanced reduced tail tracked excavator in its category. By listening closely to customer feedback and refining every detail, JCB’s engineering teams have created a machine that combines strength, precision and long-term durability.

Following the same rigorous development process as the award-winning 220X, this excavator is constructed using automotive-quality materials and proven components. The result is a machine that feels solid, refined and built for demanding environments — delivering exceptional operator comfort, structural strength and reliable performance.
