The new Perkins 403J-11T is a turbocharged
engine that combines good torque performance
in the smallest package possible. Its certification to both
EU Stage V and U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards
means original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can
design and build one machine for multiple markets.
A new model in the Perkins 400 Series range, the
403J-11T is a powerful, compact three-cylinder engine
that will be available in volume production in 2020. This
turbocharged engine produces 18.4kW (24 hp) and
86Nm (63.4 lb-ft) of torque from a compact package that
offers high performance across a wide range of altitudes
and climatic conditions.
The 403J-11T joins the Perkins 403J-11, 403J-17 and
403J-17T engines at the 18.4 kW power node, giving
OEMs one of the industry’s broadest range of choices at
this power node. All four engines meet Stage V and Tier
4 Final emission standards, making it suitable for
equipment used in both highly regulated and less
stringent markets worldwide.
The Perkins 403J-11T combines simple, proven
mechanical fuel system technology to deliver a cost-
effective package for OEMs and the rental industry.
Operating at 18.4kW it requires no aftertreatment or
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or electronic controls to
meet the latest emission standards. For this critical
power of 18.4 kW, OEMs need to balance multiple engine
characteristics including physical dimensions, cold start
capabilities, high altitude performance, torque output
and cost to get the best match for their machines.
The 403J-11T is particularly suitable for machines that
need good torque performance, but also need the
smallest package possible. Examples include miniexcavators,
welders, turf equipment and many other
machines where torque is critical, but weight and size
also need to be minimised.
The new engine’s torque output of 86Nm makes it
a strong contender to power the small construction
equipment that is popular in rental fleets.
The lightness of the 403J-11T also gives it several
advantages. It’s ideal for any machine that’s transported
by a trailer where axle weight is a consideration. There
are also benefits in applications such as lawn mowers
where it is important to minimise ground pressure.
For mini excavators where operators value a tight
turning circle to minimise tail swing, the new engine’s
short package will be an advantage.

OEMs have different demands depending on
the machine type and the market they are selling to.
By offering several different engines at this power
node Perkins can help them achieve the balance they
need between characteristics like torque, cold start
capability, performance at altitude, length, width,
weight and commercials.
The Perkins 403J-11T is built on the proven 403J-11
naturally aspirated platform. This engine has
demonstrated an ability to manage extremely high
hours. One example in the UK, running in a pump,
has performed 63,000 hours without a major repair
– the equivalent of 2.5 million miles in an
automotive application. iVT
