JCB Backhoe Loaders
More than 400 thousand backhoe loaders released the company JCB. This technique uses unique parts and assemblies that are the property of the company, and innovative technical solutions. The TorgueLock system, developed by the company's specialists, allows you to reduce fuel consumption and increase speed in highway traffic; EcoDig provides functionality at low engine speeds, not only significantly reducing fuel consumption, but also reducing exhaust emissions; EcoLoad shortens the duty cycle and increases traction, and allows you to increase the operating parameters of the machine at elevations.
The flagship of the line is the JCB 5CX ECO backhoe loader. It was developed taking into account the Russian market, engine power is 118 hp. He has the best loading and digging characteristics, highway speed, off-road qualities.
