JCB’s LiveLink now standard on mini excavators and dumpers

JCB has made its LiveLink telematics system standard on all mini excavators and site dumpers. It means the system is now available across the company’s entire construction and agricultural equipment ranges.

LiveLink was previously offered as an optional extra with a three-year subscription on minis and site dumpers. It will now be fitted as standard with a five-year subscription included.

“Connectivity is now a fundamental part of modern equipment ownership”, said Mario Moser, group managing director - global aftersales at JCB, “This is a significant milestone in JCB’s journey towards delivering a fully digitally enabled product portfolio.

“We are giving customers immediate access to the data and support they need to run their machines more profitably, safely and sustainably.

“Specific benefits of JCB LiveLink on these product ranges include alerting and tracking in the event of theft, staying informed with real-time tracking, reducing downtime with early fault detection and reducing maintenance costs through proactive servicing.”

JCB LiveLink currently connects more than 580,000 machines worldwide and supports over 40,000 customers. The system is accessible through a web browser and mobile app and covers JCB and mixed fleets.

It provides information on machine location, utilisation, fuel consumption, maintenance requirements and security.

JCB added that its JCB LiveLink website has also been updated with a refreshed design and improved user interface.
