The JCB Ecomax engine has been designed to achieve Tier 4F emissions regulations through efficient combustion, the use of second-generation common rail fuel injection technology, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and sophisticated electronic control. With a transmission and axles designed and built by JCB, the 3CX benefits from total component integration, each part specifically designed for use in a backhoe loader.
The JCB 3CX comes standard with daily fluid auto-checks and JCB Livelink telematics, allowing customers to monitor machine performance and maintenance needs. Owners are alerted via email or text message if the machine continues to operate with a fault alert. The 3CX is the only backhoe on the market to offer this exclusive feature.
Backed by a five-year warranty, the heavy-duty, rental-ready 3CX backhoe delivers best in class performance, comfort and durability, with the lowest running costs for maximum return on investment.
Backhoe durability has been enhanced with keyhole castings, relieving stress at the end of the boom ram by distributing ram forces through the core structure of the boom. The main chassis and rear frame form a fully welded unit to cope with some of the highest digging loads in the sector. The center-mount excavator design delivers increased stability and a larger working envelope than competitive machines.
The extending dipper locking pin is located at the bottom of the dipper arm, making it easy-to-access from ground level. All rams and hoses are concealed within the boom and dipper structure, for maximum component protection and improved visibility into the trench. All exposed hoses on the excavator kingpost, are sheathed to protect the operator in the event of a hose burst.
The 3CX boasts tough loader arms, with a formed and welded design that is sturdy and durable. A large torsion box is positioned close to the shovel at the base of the loader arms, ensuring maximum visibility for the operator while reducing lateral twist. It is the only backhoe loader in its class to offer a parallel lift loader as standard, ensuring maximum load retention with excellent visibility to the bucket edge.
This also provides increased control when used with pallet forks, improving productivity. Likewise, a standard fit return-to-dig setting delivers efficient operation in repetitive loading tasks, allowing the operator to concentrate on maneuvering the machine as the bucket is lowered. Loader arm float makes grading and site clearance easy too, as the bucket follows the contours of the ground.
With the widest operation station in its class the 3CX boasts an excellent view to the loader, thanks in part to a low engine cover, as there is no requirement for bulky after-treatment or
DPF installation. Automotive ergonomic styling ensures that the operator remains comfortable and fatigue-free throughout the workday, increasing productivity.
Options include a climate controlled cab model, hammer pipework, extending dipper and loader pipework.
