FAQs

A vibratory roller has an eccentric vibrator shaft inside the drum that gets rotated when it moves. This produces a centrifugal force which makes the drum move and vibrate, causing vertical and horizontal vibrations which put dynamic loads on the soil. While the vertical vibrations cause the soil particles to rearrange and fill the voids, the horizontal vibrations increase the lateral movement of the soil, resulting in compaction depth.

JCB attachments offer a range of loader buckets for more efficient digging, better material retention, and clean release of material to improve productivity and maximise the performance of your machine.

JCB loader buckets come in a large variety of capacities depending on the machine and attachment size. Please refer to the JCB attachments guide for specific details on front loader bucket capacity, wheel loader bucket capacity, and backhoe loader bucket capacity.

Our JCB loader buckets are primarily designed for loading purposes. The JCB loader buckets include the front loader bucket, wheel loader bucket, and backhoe loader bucket. However, our 6-in-1 bucket range for backhoe loaders, Loadalls and skid steer loaders also comes with digging capabilities. 

This means the range is suitable for 6 applications, including dozing, loading, digging, grabbing, spreading and grading.

Made up of a tractor with a shovel or bucket, JCB loader buckets are primarily used in the construction sector for any activity that requires loading, moving and managing materials such as soil or rocks or waste.

However, our 6-in-1 loading JCB buckets are also capable of dozing, loading, digging, grabbing, spreading and grading.

For our telescopic handler range, JCB offer construction and agricultural buckets for a variety of jobs which include carrying or moving material such as soil and rubble, salt jobs, handling waste and recycling, and removing snow.

Our construction buckets include: 

6-in-1 shovels

General purpose buckets

Our agricultural buckets include:

Grain shovels

General purpose shovels

6-in-1 shovels

Multi shovels

Because of their ability to achieve compaction depth, vibratory rollers are predominantly used for asphalt compaction. Or, for when fully smooth surfaces need to be created.

Due to their size, smaller vibratory rollers can be used to enable compaction depth on soil in compact spaces.

Compaction means to force liquid and gases out of a material and make smaller particles to fill the voids in between bigger ones to increase the density of the material.

As a result, compaction rollers can be used to compact either soil or asphalt with the aim of increasing load bearing capacity, reducing settling of the material, providing better stability, and decreasing water seepage.

Compaction rollers are the umbrella term for different types of rollers that work in slightly different ways, such as tandem rollers and soil compactors.

JCB offers LiveLink Lite as an option for all electric scissors. This provides you with real-time location information, machine battery voltage, and key on/off state along with our suite of standard LiveLink features such as geofencing or operational hour curfews.

Construction rollers are used for constructing materials such as soil, asphalt and gravel.

The material can be compacted using static roller compaction to provide surface works, or dynamic roller compaction (vibratory), to provide compaction depth and prepare surfaces for construction. As a result, construction rollers can be used for the construction of roads, railways, airports, buildings, bridges, sports pitches and foot paths.

It depends on the drill! Earth augers can be used for a variety of drilling tasks, with each product designed to work with specific materials and terrains. 

At JCB, we manufacture earth drills specifically to be used alongside our:

Compact excavators

Heavy excavators

Hydradigs

Backhoes

Skid steers

The depth of drilling varies on the equipment used. To find exact technical specifications of each earth auger, please refer to our JCB Attachments guide.
