New hydraulics, tracking and attachment enhancements, plus a brand-new engine, deliver peak performance.

• Stage V Rehlko 18.4kW engine, which cuts fuel consumption by 5%
• Low noise, vibration and fuel use, while handling excavating and lifting duties
• Smooth, precise tracking, with strong dozer capability and fast travel
• Auto Kickdown track motors, which adapt to the terrain to boost productivity
• Twin auxiliary lines with high and low flows and up to 10 presets, controlled from the cab
• Optional bolt-on counterweight, for better stability and lift performance

A wide range of protective features is fitted as standard, and the machine is easy to transport.

• JCB 2GO system, which guards against accidental operation in two simple steps
• Transport weight of up to 2,603kg, for safe towing in regions with a 3,500kg restriction
• Nine tie-down points, for safer, easier towing
• Follow-me-home LED lighting, which stays on for 3 minutes after switch-off
• New display screen, which flags issues before work begins
• Advanced lift overload warning, with visual and audible alerts

The redesigned cab is bigger, brighter and more comfortable.

• Digital screen and rotary dial, for managing modes and flows
• LCD colour display, covering quick attachment change, auxiliary flow, health check, pin management and an optional lift overload LMI system

The 26C-1 is built to run cost-effectively and give contractors a solid return.

• Easy-clean sloping undercarriage, for rapid turnaround
• 500-hour greasing intervals, the best in its class, thanks to graphite-impregnated bronze bushes
• Auto stop and auto idle as standard, switching the engine off 2 to 30 seconds after the controls go inactive
• Load-sensing hydraulics, which only use power on demand
• Flat glass windows, which minimise damage and replacement costs

Durability is built into the design for challenging environments.

• Durable undercarriage and heavy-duty H-frame, designed using finite element analysis
• Cab door that sits within the counterweight length when folded back, protecting it from damage even when open
• Components from renowned manufacturers, for added reassurance
