Two Loadall telescopic handlers complete with powerful grab attachments are on their way to the region, which is battling against the humanitarian disaster.
The 531-70 and 540-170 machines can lift loads weighing several tonnes and, with the grab attachment, will aid in removing heavy debris.
The machines, fitted with a variety of other attachments, including buckets and forks, will also play a part in reconstruction efforts once they begin.
JCB Chairman Lord Bamford said: “The scale of this natural disaster has shocked people all over the world and JCB always tries to help wherever these catastrophes occur. I hope our donation can speed up clear-up operations and help with subsequent redevelopment.”
The UK Foreign Office and the Indonesian Embassy in London have been informed of the donation.
