We’re excited to announce the arrival of our new JCB 3CX Backhoe Loader, a machine that’s built to make difficult jobs much easier. Whether for hire or on-site, this versatile beast is ready to deliver top performance right where it matters.
What Makes the 3CX Stand Out
- Power & Efficiency — With up to 81 kW engine power (in the PLUS / PRO spec) and features like TorqueLock to reduce fuel consumption when travelling, the 3CX keeps running costs down without sacrificing muscle.
- Speed & Mobility — Thanks to a 6-speed Autoshift transmission, the 3CX is not just about raw power; it moves fast, road-legal, and ready for anything the site throws at it. Top speeds up to 50 km/h (for the PRO model) mean travels between job sites are quicker, saving time and fuel.
- Digging Depth & Reach — When it comes to excavation work, the 3CX is no slouch. Excavation depths of over 6 metres, plus the option of “ExtraDig” dipper arms, give this backhoe loader reach rivaling much larger tracked machines.
- Loader & Grading Performance — The machine features a large 6-in-1 shovel, return-to-grade systems, and a new auto smoothing motion for the loader arms which helps reduce spillages when moving material.
- Operator Comfort & Control — The new DUALDRIVE system, intuitive controls, forward-facing cameras, and joystick features make life easier for operators, especially on long shifts. Plus, enhanced visibility and safety features help reduce fatigue and improve precision.
- Versatility of Attachments — From hammers to buckets to forks, the 3CX supports a wide range of attachments, meaning fewer machines needed on site and smoother transitions between tasks.
Why This Matters for Our Customers
For those of you working on mixed jobsites – whether digging foundations, landscaping, roadworks, or utilities – this new 3CX gives you a do-everything machine. It’s especially well suited when you need both back-hoe digging performance and loader/shovel work, without having to swap machines or deal with compromises. We believe this will boost efficiency, reduce project times, and cut down on transport and fuel costs.
What You Can Expect
- Enhanced productivity from machine tasks that previously took longer or needed two machines.
- Improved fuel economy, especially on roadwork and transit (thanks to features like TorqueLock and ECO mode).
- A more comfortable, safer working environment for operators.
- A flexible hire offering — you get all these benefits without needing to buy, maintain or store the machine yourself.
We’re looking forward to putting the new JCB 3CX to work, and seeing the impact it has on-site. If you’d like to book it for your next project, or see it in action, just get in touch!
