JCB, the world’s largest privately owned manufacturer of construction, agricultural and defense equipment, is set to exhibit their newest innovation in zero exhaust emission dumpsters as well as other purpose-built, rental-ready machines designed to get the job done with ease, cut downtime and increase efficiency at Booth #4207 at the American Rental Association Show in Orlando, FL, February 12–15.

"We are proud to introduce rental customers to the HTD-5E, which is the latest addition to our E-TECH range,” said Oliver Lewis, General Manager - Aftermarket, JCB North America. “Rental professionals are constantly looking for the tools that allow their customer to get more done in diverse operations, while also limiting emissions.”

The JCB HTD-5E E-Dumpster is offered as a high-tip, ride-on model, capable of carrying up to 1,102 lb. The addition of electric drive makes the machine suitable for urban and indoor applications, which require low noise and zero exhaust emissions. The E-Dumpster is powered by a 48V lithium-ion battery pack that can be recharged using a standard 110V or 220V electrical supply.

Key features include:

9kW electric motor delivers travel speeds of up to 1.86 mph
Maximum two-hour charging time
Zero emissions at point of use
1,102 lb capacity and 4 ft 9 in skip ground clearance in tipping position
In addition, JCB will display innovations from their 70+ year history in the design and manufacture of construction and agriculture equipment. With the biggest range of electric products, JCB’s E-TECH range will be represented by the 19C-1E Electric Mini Excavator, 505-20E Electric Telehandler and the all new electric drive S1930E Scissor Lift.

Ensuring zero emissions at point of use, the 19C-1E is the first of the electric generation and the industry’s first fully electric mini excavator. With maintenance-free batteries, the 19C-1E is the economical choice for a full day’s work. JCB recently celebrated the milestone 1,000th 19C-1E model off the production line. Keith Hoskins, VP Compact Products, JCB North America said: “This milestone 1,000th machine is a testament to the praise the 19C-1E has received from major contractors, large rental companies and individual owners. Meeting the demand for a zero-emission machine, the 19C-1E also provides quiet operation for internal and overnight site work in urban environments.”
