WHY HIRE A JCB HYDRADIG?

ALL-ROUND VISIBILITY

JCB describes the Hydradig as built for best in class all-round unobstructed visibility, with low-level glass giving the operator a clear view of all four wheels and the ground close to the machine.

LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY

The engine, pumps and ancillaries sit in the lower structure, which JCB states gives the machine a low centre of gravity and stability when digging or lifting from the side.

FLEXIBLE STEERING MODES

Four-wheel steer, two-wheel steer and crab steer are standard, suiting manoeuvring on tight, trafficked sites.

HIGHWAY-SPEED TRAVEL

A hydrostatic transmission gives a travel speed up to 40kph with a dedicated highway mode, useful for moving between nearby sites.

MATCHED TO YOUR SITE

Hiring through Prime Plant Hire's specialist sourcing network means a Hydradig can be matched to your dates and location, rather than being limited to one yard's own availability.

WHERE A JCB HYDRADIG IS USED

UTILITIES & TRAFFICKED SITES

Utilities and groundworks contractors use the Hydradig for excavating trenches for pipework and cabling on live roads and footways, where all-round visibility matters for safety around traffic and pedestrians.

HIGHWAYS & CIVIL ENGINEERING

Highways and civil engineering teams use it for verge work, kerb and drainage jobs on sites with tight traffic management.

SITE CLEARANCE & LANDSCAPING

It also suits site clearance and landscaping on hard-standing surfaces such as car parks, yards and driveways, where a wheeled machine is the better fit than tracked plant.
