- you want one that is the bigger machine by 29,360kg
Sized for bulk earthmoving, quarry and large groundworks contractors who need high dig depth and bucket capacity rather than tight site manoeuvrability. It sits above the typical hire-fleet mid-range and suits larger civils and demolition packages.

Buy or hire the 6ST-2S5 Swivel if...
Suits groundworkers who need to tip to the side or rear without turning the whole machine, useful in trenches or narrow access where reversing to line up a straight-tip skip is awkward. The 6 tonne capacity sits in the middle of JCB's swivel dumper range.
