Delivering the power you need
In 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford started the company
that bears his initials from a garage measuring 12 by
15 feet. Today, JCB is still a family-run business but
now employs over 8,000 people and sells machines
in over 150 countries. We also boast some of the
finest engineering facilities in the world, located on
four different continents. This includes our latest
multi-million pound investment, a totally new,
state-of-the-art factory in the UK where we
manufacture the range of Dieselmax engines and
generators powered by the JCB Dieselmax engine.
When we developed our generators, we benefited
from a ‘clean sheet of paper’ design which meant
we could take the best from the rest, combined
with all the latest technological advances. The result
is a comprehensive range of products that set new
standards of performance and reliability.
The standard range covers 18 power nodes from
15 to 500kVA and is split into three types: 18 open
generators, 18 canopy generators and 8 rental
models. Generators can be made to order so you
can specify exactly the specification you need. For
sizes up to 3000kVA bespoke builds are possible as
either open or containerised units. All power nodes
are available as 50Hz or 60Hz* in any configuration.
CONTENTSAs you would expect from a company with a world-
class reputation, the build quality is superb, with each
generator boasting the highest quality components,
alternator and engines. A digital control panel as
standard (optional on many competitor generators)
lets you programme the system to meet your
own engine monitoring and power monitoring
requirements, whilst remote monitoring is available
as an option through GPS technology. And of course
it’s all backed up by the best customer support in
the business.

Open and canopy generators
3
Our open generators are ideal for use in operations
where noise is not an issue or the generator will
be housed in its own building or power room.
Our standard canopied units up to 500kVA are
manufactured from galvanised sheet steel and
polyester powder coated, making them completely
weatherproof and perfect for outdoor use in the
harshest site conditions. Thanks to industry leading
sound levels, they are also the answer where noise
is an issue. Larger units are housed in fully weather-
proofed ISO containers.
When it comes to the diesel engines at the heart
of these products, we have identified the best
performers for each generator size, all compliant
with the latest stage 2 emissions requirements for
Europe. So you’ll find that the smallest generators use
Deutz diesel engines, followed by JCB Dieselmax,
Sisu and Scania engines in our larger models. Plus,
the whole range benefits from Newage Stamford
alternators – recognised throughout the industry as
the world’s number one.
As well as the finest power packs in the business,
what sets us apart are the features we give you as
standard. The best example is the digital control
panel; a costly option on many competitor machines
but included on every JCB generator no matter
what size. This clever piece of equipment can be fully
programmed to meet your exact needs and includes
the following standard functions: 250 events history,
low oil pressure shut down, high coolant
temperature shutdown, under speed shutdown,
overspeed shutdown, low battery warning and the
ability to add many more functions.
Available as 1 or 3 phase, 50 or 60Hz and with
various voltage options, all models are suitable for
working as prime or standby, and specific options
let you tailor each model to the application in hand.
These include: single point lift, fork pockets, 8- or
24-hour bunded fuel tanks (canopy only), 120V or
240V water heater, Automatic Mains Failure panel,
Automatic Transfer Panel and synchronising capability
with mains or other generators, electronic fuel
governor (15 to 200kVA models), manual 3-way
fuel valves and a road trailer . . . to name but a few.
FAST FACTS● 18 open/18 canopy models let
you choose exactly the sizeand type for your application
● Bespoke units are available ina range of sizes above ourstandard range, from 500kVAto 3000kVA

Rental generators
5
The 8-strong rental range of JCB generators is
available in the following sizes: 20, 30, 50, 60, 80,
110, 160 and 200kVA. Although of course if you
require a rental specification on any other size model
we will be happy to deal with your requirements as
part of our bespoke service.
Every model features the same superior build quality
and engines as the products in our open and canopy
ranges, as well as all the standard features, including
the digital control panel which offers effective engine
and power monitoring with no need to rely on
manual monitoring prone to human error. But what
makes these generators different is the wide variety
of electrical connection points and options that we
also fit as standard to increase the versatility of the
units and give higher machine utilisation.
These include:
● 24-hour fuel tank based on 70% full load giving
you a longer running time
● Fully bunded to 110% of all f luids, preventing any
loss of fluid to the ground and ensuring
contamination-free running, including bund
sensor and hand pump
● Integrated fork pockets for increased handling
capability on site
● Single point lift for easy loading and off loading
of vehicles and placement into difficult locations
● Bulkhead fitted between rear of alternator and
control panel for reduced sound levels when
opening the panel doors
● Fuel tank fitted with inspection cleaning hatches
● Racor pre-fuel filter and water trap to ensure
trouble-free running in the event of dirty fuel
entering the system
● 3-way fuel valve allowing for external fuel supply
● Separate hours-run meter for instant reference
● Battery isolator switch to prevent unwanted
battery drain
● Variable earth leakage protection for
operator safety
● Busbar on all models for quick and easy
connection of cables
● 4-pole isolator for added safety
● Multiple electric sockets all with individual circuit
breakers for convenience and safety
Whichever rental model you choose, you can rest
assured that it’s designed to give you maximum
versatility, whatever and wherever the application.
