Who uses it
The JCB 8008 CTS is a micro excavator sized to fit through a standard doorway, making it a fixture on UK internal strip-out, basement and confined-access hire fleets. Its short tail swing lets it work close to walls in spaces a 1.5-2 tonne machine cannot reach. It is typically hired for a specific job rather than bought outright.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the 8008 CTS is the Bobcat E10z.
