A history of innovation

The world’s first… and still the bestIn 1953, Joseph Cyril Bamford built the first Major Loader using his own concept as the basis for the design. That simple machine evolved into what we know today as the backhoe loader, and ever since then JCB’s machines have continued to revolutionise the construction job site.

Having pioneered the backhoe loader, JCB continued to improve on its first concept design. By employing advanced engineering principles, we expanded the machine’s capabilities and many of our leading innovations have since become standard features on backhoe loaders throughout the industry. Four-wheel drive, extending dippers, torque converter drive, powershift transmissions, all-wheel steer, sideshift chassis, powerslide backhoe, skid steer backhoe: all JCB world firsts.

JCB built its reputation as the world leader in backhoe loaders by making its machines increasingly productive, dependable and efficient on the job site, and by fostering a level of operator comfort unequalled by other manufacturers. As a result, the JCB backhoe loader has outsold all of its competitors globally.

Efficient designRedesigning and refocusing the world’s number one backhoe loader was an opportunity to, yet again, lead the way in machine innovation and reset the standard for diggers the world over.

With an ever-more competitive market and rising fuel prices, improving efficiency has also become a key factor to business success. JCB’s efficient design philosophy looks at every aspect of our machines, applying innovative technologies to squeeze the absolute maximum out of every drop of fuel and making the new 3CX ECO and 4CX ECO our most efficient backhoes ever.

The result of these innovations is that in typical roading, loading, excavating and idle cycles our new backhoe loaders deliver an average fuel saving of up to 16%, plus lower emissions and noise levels. And with an extended period between fill ups you get a longer, more productive working day. These ECO models are without a doubt more efficient than any other backhoe loader on the market today – we are still the world’s best.

The 3CX ECO and 4CX ECO are our most efficient backhoes ever

NEW efficiencies improve profitability

Reduced fuel, carbon and noiseOne of our most significant innovations on our ECO backhoe loaders is EcoDig; a three-pump hydraulic system that allows the same high hydraulic flow and pressure but at lower engine speeds, for up to 15% improvement in fuel economy when excavating. Plus, operating at lower engine revs reduces engine carbon emissions (by up to 15%) and engine wear, prolongs intervals between refuelling for better productivity and further lowers JCB’s already class-leading noise levels, improving the operator experience.

This innovation is standard on all Manual Control and EasyControl machines; Advanced EasyControl machines have a variable displacement pump which already provides superb digging efficiency.

In an industry first, JCB has developed an Efficiency Calculator to help determine exactly the efficiency gains that are possible with the 3CX ECO and 4CX ECO backhoe loader. The innovative JCB Efficiency Calculator allows you to set your operating details and fuel costs demonstrating the possible ownership cost savings.

Increased productivityThe new high-performance three-pump hydraulic system also increases Extradig, extending dipper speed and boosting productivity without affecting any other hydraulic service performance. This makes it easier for the operator to combine excavator functions simultaneously, reducing cycle times and cutting operator effort for less fatigue throughout the working day

The EcoDig system is controlled by a two-position rocker switch on the main console in the cab. This control offers the operator a choice between an ECO mode, maximum efficiency and digging potential mode, or Lo mode, an ultimate machine control for fine grading and delicate groundworks profiling applications.

EcoRoad fuel efficiencyJCB EcoRoad technology is designed to provide the highest efficiency and productivity levels possible when roading. Featuring JCB’s patented TorqueLock technology (the world’s first lock-up torque converter fitted to a backhoe loader), EcoRoad actually reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% whilst increasing speed by up to 10%, and working area by up to 10%.

In addition, the Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) automatically disconnects the first hydraulic pump when in fourth gear, again with the result of reducing fuel consumption and increasing on-road efficiency. And of course, the entire JCB powertrain has been specifically designed for these machines, ensuring high efficiency and minimal losses for best tractive effort and low fuel consumption.

All of this results in reduced cost of ownership, increased roading productivity, longer working operation and increased profitability.

Automotive-inspired power brakingJCB’s already class-leading braking performance has now been further enhanced on our ECO machines through the introduction of power brakes, providing proportional braking throughout the pedal travel for improved braking effort and control. The design of our power brakes utilises the existing hydraulic supply removing the need for a separate brake reservoir, reducing operator costs and the number of daily service checks

We have also redesigned and lowered the pedal position for improved ergonomics and operator comfort, and we have achieved full brake pad release, reducing drag, maintaining road speed for longer and improving fuel economy.

Load more, more quicklyAt the loader end of our new ECO machines, thanks to EcoLoad along with high lift capacities and breakout forces, and of course the outstanding DIESELMAX engine, you can count on lifting and shifting more, faster - these are the most efficient loaders in their class.

First, our return to dig feature automatically resets the shovel into the digging position. Then the selectable transmission disconnect diverts maximum hydraulic power from the engine to the loader arms, so it’s quicker to lift the load.

Incredible productivityEcoLoad also features a Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) switch which – combined with high torque at low engine speed from our DIESELMAX engine – gives more tractive effort, faster cycle times,

excellent pushing power and hill climbing performance. HSC also allows you to select one pump for finer, more precise grading, while in challenging conditions our LSD (limited slip differential) axles automatically kick in to provide additional traction.

JCB’s 6-speed autoshift transmission features finer ratio gears for greater pushing power, whilst a floor-mounted transmission kick-down switch allows the operator to downshift to a lower gear on the move for an 18% increase in pushing power.

And of course, we have also included our 4-ram parallel lift loader arms providing unhindered visibility to the front shovel, especially when loading at height, and Smooth Ride System (SRS) technologies, resulting in excellent load retention and operator comfort when travelling over rough ground and on the road.

SRS features a nitrogen gas piston accumulator to cushion the load Floor-mounted transmission kick down switch

Remarkable versatility Innovations and optionsA combination of backhoe innovations and options allows the new ECO machines to set new, technologically advanced standards in performance and productivity.

Combined hammer and bi-directional circuitIncreasing attachment compatibility and versatility, this brand new option provides both low-flow and high-flow hydraulic power, with low back pressure maintaining optimum flow to the attachment. The circuit operates independently of the extending dipper and is capable of operating a wide range of single and double acting attachments. Hammer only, or hammer and bi-directional options are available.

Handheld tool circuitThis allows you to operate a wide range of handheld tools using the backhoe loader as a power source, for increased versatility.

KnuckleboomThe 4CX ECO features a knuckleboom option (4CN) which has a 30º articulation angle between the boom and dipper giving a working envelope of 240º. This allows you to dig in areas simply not possible with a conventional backhoe, such as around objects like trees, telegraph poles or lamp posts; parallel alongside a road while keeping the machine on the road; or even towards the front of the machine.

Front quickhitch with integrated pallet forksThis allows the operator to remove the front shovel and fit a wide range of attachments. With a choice of mechanical or hydraulic locking, the integrated quickhitch gives best-in-class visibility and doubles the lift capacity to 2000kg. Customers operating JCB Loadall telescopic handlers who are used to the JCB Q-fit quickhitch can now also choose this option on the backhoe loader, allowing the same attachments to fit both Loadall and backhoe.

Handheld tool circuit Knuckleboom

BHL | VERSATILITY

Hose reelJCB already offers an industry exclusive independent hydraulic supply for operating handheld tools. A new 9m hose reel option increases working radius, reduces potential damage during use, protects the hose during storage and does away with the need for a separate powerpack, which can often be at risk of theft. Handheld tools and the excavator can operate at the same time, increasing productivity. The hose reel meets the EHTMA class C tool operation standard and features: low back pressures,138 bar pressure and 20 lpm flow.

PowerslideAnother world first, JCB Powerslide hydraulically sideshifts the backhoe for less effort and reduces the chance of any site damage to tarmac or paved surfaces, making it ideal for the utilities sector.

Stabiliser street padsAnother key feature for the utilities sector is the street pads option which, like the Powerslide system, also eliminates any possible damage to tarmac or paved surfaces caused by the stabiliser feet.

Three steer modesThe 4CX ECO comes with three selectable steer modes - two-wheel steer, four-wheel steer and crab steer. Two-wheel steer is designed for general everyday use in and around the building site; four-wheel steer for working where space is limited; and crab steer to position or manoeuvre the backhoe close to or away from a wall or building.

Excavator lifting kitThe optional 5-tonne lifting kit further enhances machine versatility, allowing the excavator arm to become a crane for object handling. It also features a boom hose burst check valve (HBCV) and an audio warning alarm as standard.

Front bumper protection barsThe 3CX ECO can be equipped with front bumper protection bars, protecting the bonnet and front grill from damage when loading into lorries and trailers.

6-in-1 shovelAllows the ability to dig, doze, load, grab, grade and backfill all from one attachment increasing the machines versatility.

Fatigue-free, productive working

Operator comfortsJCB backhoe loaders are designed around the operator to give fatigue-free, productive daylong working. Take a look at our luxury heated air suspension seat and you’ll see why cab comfort, ergonomics and styling are best-in-class. As are noise and vibration levels, thanks to the rubber-mounted, isolated cab.

A cab pre-heating option (Eberspacher cold climate heater) can be set to warm the cab automatically without starting the engine, so you can benefit from extra time in bed! The optional heated windscreen speeds up defrosting too. In addition, and exclusive to JCB backhoe

loaders, we have integrated a hot drinks machine option into the cab to provide you with a delicious cup of hot tea or coffee throughout the day; making a well-earned break even more relaxing.

Clarity, inside and outThe in-cab side console features laser-etched image switches backlit by a crisp white light. These turn to red when pressed, making it much clearer for the operator and giving a more modern in-cab feel. The side console also features an LCD (liquid crystal display) informing the operator of machine hours and time to next service interval, along with an audio alarm for when the fuel level is getting low or in emergencies, such as low oil pressure or a blocked air filter.

Furthermore, the 360° view through the tinted windows is superb, enhancing on-site safety. In particular, the one-piece rear windscreen, with its innovative scoop design, lets you see right into the trench when excavating.

In-cab coolboxKeep all your essential refreshments cool and to hand, so you can stay in the field for elevenses, lunch, etc.

Heated front screenAn optional heated front screen removes any built-up frost and ice, so there is no need to climb across the machine on a cold, frosty morning to clear the windscreen, which means you can get to site a lot sooner and more safely.

Keypad immobiliser and unique keyAn optional JCB keypad immobiliser adds to machine protection and allows the operator to key in a sequence of numbers to activate the starting of the machine. An alternative option to this is the unique JCB key featuring a built-in circuit chip – each backhoe loader can only be started by its’ own, unique key.

A commitment to excellence

Quality and reliabilityWe have spent over three years developing the JCB 3CX ECO and 4CX ECO. During this time, development has gone hand-in-hand with the most demanding tests imaginable, putting the machines through every thinkable exercise in all climates, including arctic conditions.

We’ve assessed many prototypes, pre-builds and pre-production models, all of which have had to confirm their metal in rigorous bench testing, vehicle lab and track testing, and field testing. We also carried out extensive EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing to ensure that signals from mobile phones and radio don’t affect the machine in any way, and additional testing to standards far higher than competitor machines.

The culture of testing to maintain excellence continues through to the production line, with every new backhoe loader being put through around 600 performance checks before we’re satisfied. And if it meets JCB standards, you know it’s a machine to rely on.

Cold climate testingThorough testing in Arctic conditions, both in the cold cell and in the Arctic Circle, included everything from engine starting, transmission and hydraulic performance to door seals, locks and de-icing.

The cooling system was extensively tested in extreme temperatures to ensure the optimum operating temperatures are maintained in the engine, transmission and hydraulic systems.

Built-in quality and protectionThe heavy-duty chassis construction at the heart of the new backhoe loader ECO has been designed to house all the major features, making it capable of withstanding the day-to-day abuse of working in tough applications. Meanwhile the narrow boom and dipper design gives the operator maximum visibility down both sides of the excavator arm and into the trench, and the hydraulic hoses run within the fabrication for maximum protection.

BHL | RELIABILITY

At JCB, when we design any machine we put ourselves in the position of the operator to ensure unsurpassed levels of productivity. With our new ECO backhoes, this means offering a choice of three control types to suit every possible requirement, allowing everyone from the most experienced backhoe operator to the excavator-trained novice to achieve the very highest levels of productivity and profitability,

Manual controlFor many operators, Manual Control remains the standard for operating a backhoe loader. On this system, both the excavator and loader controls are manual floor-mounted levers. At JCB we recognise that some more traditional operators still prefer this way of working and indeed, can use it to achieve superb levels of productivity. So we continue to offer this system that so many know and love.

Manual Control offers a choice of three control patterns to help you achieve exactly the digging position and control you’re used to and prefer: JCB X (Diagonal); SAE+ (boom left, dipper right) and ISO+ (dipper left, boom right), the last of which is based on excavator and mini excavator control patterns.

EasyControlMore of today’s operators are opting for servo controls because of the ergonomic benefits of fingertip control, a more comfortable digging position, and greater visibility when excavating. In addition, many operators learn on excavators and minis which tend to offer servo controls as standard.

For these reasons, we have introduced EasyControl, a system which moves excavator controls from floor to seat, significantly improving visibility and comfort, and features servos for a light touch. EasyControl gives similar hydraulic feel and feedback to the Manual Control system. There’s a choice of SAE+ and ISO+ control patterns (including an option to switch between the two), and the seat-mounted controls allow you to operate the excavator while facing to the side, giving you the benefit of greater comfort and visibility.

Advanced EasyControlAdvanced EasyControl is the ultimate in backhoe loader controls, with the same excavator operation as EasyControl. The main difference is that Advanced EasyControl also offers servo controls for the loader, via the right-hand seat-mounted joystick rather than a floor-mounted control lever. SAE+ or ISO+ control patterns are available, or there is the option to switch between the two to tailor the machine for different operator preferences.

High output variable flow hydraulics provide full flow on demand for increased fuel efficiency, faster digging cycles and maximum productivity. Combined with flowsharing which proportions the hydraulic flow to give exceptionally smooth operation, this system is most similar to excavators and minis. In addition the seat-mounted controls allow you to operate the excavator while facing to the side, giving you the benefit of greater comfort and visibility.

Putting you in complete control

How it works •Two floor-mounted levers control the excavator operations,

providing excellent feel and feedback of the hydraulics, while the loader is operated via a manual floor-mounted control lever to the right hand.

•To operate the excavator auxiliary circuit (e.g. hammer) the left foot pushes the floor button, and lifts off to stop.

•To operate the Extradig the right foot pushes a rocker pedal – forwards out, backwards in.

•To operate the excavator bi-directional auxiliary circuit, use the left-hand lever proportional roller switch.

•To operate the 6-in-1, use the shadow lever next to the loader control lever.

How it works •The excavator is operated using the two seat-mounted, servo-

control joysticks while the loader is operated via a manual floor-mounted control lever to the right hand.

•To operate the excavator auxiliary circuit (e.g. hammer) the left foot pushes the floor button, and lifts off to stop.

•To operate the Extradig the right-hand thumb uses the joystick-mounted proportional roller switch – left in, right out.

•To operate the excavator bi-directional auxiliary circuit, use the left-hand joystick-mounted proportional roller switch.

•To operate the 6-in-1 use the proportional rocker switch on the loader control lever.

How it works •The seat-mounted servo joysticks control all major machine

operations, with left and right levers for the excavator, and right hand only for the loader. To select between loader or excavator operation, use the rocker switch below the right-hand joystick.

•To operate the excavator auxiliary circuit (e.g. hammer), there is a thumb-operated button on the left joystick.

As part of our dedication to looking at new, innovative ways to help you get the most out of your machine, our latest development is JCB LiveLink: an advanced machine monitoring system that enables you to better protect your investment and accurately monitor and improve machine performance.

JCB LiveLink is a software system that enables JCB owners to monitor and manage their machines remotely. All you need is a PC connected to the internet. The LiveLink computer is built into the machine where it collects information from a number of sensors. This information is sent, using mobile communications technology, to JCB’s secure data centre. Machine management information is then displayed to users via the LiveLink website, by email or via mobile phone.

By providing you with information on the usage and productivity of your fleet, JCB LiveLink enables you to keep track of each machine’s efficiency, ensuring that you get the best value for money possible.

By providing information on the location, movement and activity of machines, the system can also assist in ensuring machines are operated at the correct times and helps to protect them from theft. And, JCB LiveLink helps machine owners to confirm that their machines are well maintained and in good health without having to travel around work sites inspecting machines.

In response to increasing concerns regarding machine security, we now also offer JCB Guardian as an option on every new JCB machine. JCB Guardian is a package of theft protection and monitoring systems that includes LiveLink telemetry along with *CESAR identification, immobiliser technology and a host of optional locks and guards. It’s your peace of mind solution that can also result in considerable

insurance premium savings.

*Territory specific

Your machine – working efficiently, secure and in good health

JCB LiveLink and Guardian are the key to all three

A few words about JCB

A groundbreaking, world class family business with a commitment

to supporting our customers and protecting the environment

A family company on a global scale. JCB is no ordinary

company. From the dreams of one man, Joseph Cyril Bamford,

we have grown into the world’s largest privately owned construction

equipment company. Since 1945, the same attention to detail, passion

for progress and family spirit has taken us from strength to strength.

Nowadays JCB operates across six continents, manufacturing at 18

factories in the UK, Brazil, Germany, China, North America and

India. With 1,500 dealer depots selling and supporting our products

in over 150 countries, we are the global market leader for backhoe

loaders and telescopic handlers.

A history of world-class innovation. Our business has

always been driven by innovation, using only the most advanced

technology, meticulous design, precision engineering and rigorous

testing. Evidence of this commitment to innovation is illustrated in

our revolutionary JCB DIESELMAX engine. Having grabbed the

headlines when it smashed the world diesel land speed record at

350.092mph, it is now providing our customers with tomorrow’s

performance today.

Doing things more efficiently, more sustainably. Since 2007

we have reduced our carbon emissions by 20%. We are continually

working to further reduce the carbon footprint of our operations

and, in partnership with our suppliers, our whole supply chain.

We are also committed to designing our products to be sustainable

during manufacturing, over the life of the machine and through end-

of-life recycling. Our new ECO machines, for example, offer significant

fuel and carbon savings; an average of 16% on the ECOs, ECO skid

steers and ECO compact track loaders, and 22% on the 8085 ECO.
