What Our Customers Say

"We asked JCB to help us choose between a backhoe and a mini excavator for our drainage contracts. Their application engineer visited our site, watched our operators work, and recommended the 3CX. It does the job of two machines — we saved 40% on equipment costs."

Tom Richardson
Owner — Richardson Groundworks Ltd, UK

"The 540-170 telehandler has been our most versatile machine. We use it for steel erection, cladding, and material distribution across a 3-building commercial development. Reach, stability, and operator comfort are all excellent for a machine at this price point."

Maria Santos
Site Manager — Construcoes Atlantico Lda, Portugal

"Parts availability is what keeps us loyal. Our nearest JCB dealer holds stock for same-day dispatch and their mobile service van comes to our site. In 4 years we have never lost a working day waiting for a JCB part — I cannot say the same for our other brands."

Patrick Okonkwo
Fleet Manager — Greenfield Estates & Construction, Nigeria

Equipment Selection Help

A backhoe loader combines a front loader bucket with a rear excavator arm — making it ideal when you need to both dig and load on the same site. It is road-legal, can travel between sites at up to 40 km/h, and replaces two machines. A mini excavator is the better choice when your work is digging-only (trenching, foundations) in confined spaces where tail swing and width matter. Our application team can visit your site and recommend the right option based on your actual work patterns.

JCB telehandlers range from 2.5t lift capacity at 6m reach (compact models) to 5.0t at 20m reach (heavy-duty rotating models). The most popular construction model, the 540-170, offers 4.0t maximum lift at 17m forward reach. Lift capacity decreases as reach extends — refer to the load chart for specific capacity at your required working radius. Our engineers can specify the correct model based on your lifting requirements.

Yes. All JCB export machines carry a CE Declaration of Conformity under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Mobile machines are fitted with EU Stage V compliant engines as standard. Full compliance documentation — CE Declaration, engine Type Approval, and noise emission test reports — is included in the delivery package. JCB machines are also available in EPA Tier 4 Final configuration for North American markets.

JCB has 750+ dealer locations across 150 countries.
