Monster Jam JCB Dirt Squad™

The combined versatility of a skid steer loader with the telescopic boom allows this machine to quickly build Monster Jam tracks around the world. Its precision is relied on by the track team to expertly construct and maintain jumps, pods, and other elements that are critical for the execution of Monster Jam shows.

Fun fact: The JCB Teleskid is the world’s only compact track loader with a telescopic boom.

Designed with safety and efficiency in mind, JCB wheel loaders are used to move over 7,000 cubic yards of earth/dirt at each Monster Jam event. These powerful machines are front and center for the crowds, as they are responsible for recovering and towing any Monster Jam trucks that get stuck during a show.

Fun fact: The 457 wheel loader is used for Scoopz, a characterized machine featuring a special oversized bucket that is used for truck recoveries at Monster Jam events, with a total payload of 15,150 lbs.

The telehandler is the Swiss Army knife of the JCB Dirt Squad, used for pit party setup, truck recoveries in tight arenas, assisting in the build of stunts like the JCB DIGatron Smashbot Stunt at the 2025 Monster Jam World Finals, and much more. JCB’s extensive telehandler lineup means that whatever job is required at Monster Jam, there is a machine ready to get it done.

Fun fact: JCB invented the telehandler in 1977.

JCB large excavators are the unseen heroes of the JCB Dirt Squad, working with wheel loaders to move over 7,000 cubic yards of dirt/earth at each Monster Jam show. These tough, yet easy to operate machines are also used to place elements like steel pipes and large tires, many weighing over 1,000 lbs, in the Monster Jam tracks.

Fun fact: The 370X, the largest excavator in the JCB X Series, has an operating weight of over 87,000 lbs.
