FAQs

Autostop helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically shutting down the machine when not in use as well as preventing excessive idle times, which reduce machine clock hours. It is operator configurable using the easy to use intuitive interface, allowing working patterns to be taken into consideration.

The duration of JCB's Factory Tour is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes and covers nearly 3 miles therefore individuals with walking difficulties may find the tour unsuitable.

JCB is a wheelchair friendly site, however your Tour Guide is responsible for the welfare of the entire group and as such, we ask anybody in a wheelchair to organise their own assistance within the group, if they are unable to manoeuvre themselves.

All visitors must be 15 years old or over.

Public Tours are booked via our eventbite page here and have a maximum capacity of 50.

In order to participate in the Factory Tour, it is essential all visitors wear closed toe shoes (i.e. no sandals or flip flops). Failure to do so will result in the individual being unable to participate in the factory tour. JCB will provide all other PPE on site (Hi Viz, glasses & ear protection).

Driving a JCB Fastrac on the motorway depends on the local legislation in your area, and the specification of your particular machine. For specific guidance on your model, contact your local JCB dealer - you can find them by using our Dealer Locator.

No food or drink can be consumed on site unless pre-booked as part of a Tour Package.

No photography is permitted during the factory tour, however it is permitted in the Story of JCB.

A short part of the tour requires guests to walk outside therefore appropriate clothing for the weather conditions should be worn.
