Welded to EN ISO 3834-2. Agree it as a standing term of supply and the EN 10204 3.1 certificate ships with every attachment. You also get the CE declaration of conformity for every quick coupler and hydraulic attachment. See the certificates.

Before you order: check the interface

The weight class of the JCB JS160 sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.

At this weight the choice is mostly about the material. A general purpose bucket suits soil and gravel, a reinforced bucket with thicker wear parts suits mixed ground and broken rock, and the quick coupler on the machine sets the bracket every attachment needs.

Quick coupler brackets at this weight

In our model tables, the attachments listed for the JCB JS160 at its weight are built with these brackets. Each code opens the models that list it.

Brackets we build attachments with in this weight range. Not a confirmed fit.

  1. Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
  4. If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.

What the JS160 figures mean for its attachments

  • The main pump delivers up to 328 l/min at 314 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
  • It digs down to 6,110 mm. That is the deepest trench it can open.
  • Its maximum reach is 9,463 mm.
  • It dumps at up to 8,667 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
  • JCB offers arms from 2,250 to 3,050 mm. A longer arm reaches further, a shorter one handles a heavier bucket.
  • JCB lists buckets from 457 to 1,219 mm wide for this machine.Our sizes in that range: DB - heavy duty digging bucket (DB-230); DBF - flat-top digging bucket for quick coupler (DBF-230); DSX - Nordic heavy duty digging bucket (DS-HD-250); CB - heavy duty hydraulic clamp bucket (CBR-260)
  • JCB lists bucket capacities from 0.27 to 0.87 m³.
  • For transport it measures 8,388 x 2,900 x 3,140 mm (length, width, height).
  • Engine power is 97 kW.
