The June/July 2026 issue of the Awesome Earthmovers is now available to read. Featured on the cover is JCB’s new 50 tonne class 520X
The JCB 520X is the largest tracked excavator ever manufactured by JCB. Operating in the heavy-duty 50-tonne class, this robust heavy-line machine has an operating weight between 52 and 57 tonnes. It is powered by a formidable 11.8 litre Cummins X12 diesel engine that delivers 400 horsepower (298 kW).
Built for demanding environments like quarrying and mining, it features an ultra-reinforced undercarriage and a high-pressure hydraulic circuit. Inside the upgraded CommandPlus cab, operators benefit from the intuitive JCB UX interface, a 10-inch touchscreen, and a standard high-definition 360-degree camera system for maximum visibility.
