We also carried out 600 performance checks on the production line, as well as extensive EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing on the 3CX the latter ensures that signals from mobile phones and radios don’t affect the machine in any way. Pre-production testing included 100,000 loading cycles, 500,000 excavating cycles, 360,000 gearchange cycles, extensive bump track testing, and thousands of hours of endurance testing. The 3CX Eco has been tested all around the world in every conceivable application. The robot welded single-piece chassis on the 3CX maximises strength and minimises weight.

We use stress-relieved fabrication for the 3CX’s boom – by heating materials to over 650˚C for over 16 hours, we make sure the metal is evenly heated, doubling boom life. The rear axle alone has a static load rating of 25,000 kg, and a dynamic load rating of 12,500 kg.

JCB 3CX Eco axles and transmission are designed to withstand a 12,000-hour design life heavyweight axles are built to withstand serious shock loads. This reduces fuel consumption on the 3CX Eco backhoe loader still further. JCB’s Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) automatically disconnects the first hydraulic pump when in fourth gear. Engine wear is also reduced, while refuelling intervals are increased. JCB’s 63kW DIESELMAX motor produces its power and torque at low engine speeds by operating your backhoe at lower revs, engine carbon emissions are reduced by up to 15%. Paired with JCB’s patented TorqueLock technology (the first lock-up torque converter fitted to a backhoe loader), it reduces fuel consumption (up to 25%), and increases working area (up to 10%).ĮcoDig is a standard-fit three-pump hydraulic system that provides high hydraulic flow and pressure at low engine speeds for improved fuel economy (by up to 15%), reduced carbon emissions and lower engine wear. The 3CX JCB backhoe loader has optional EcoRoad. JCB 3CX backhoe loader engines are tried and tested we’ve built 200,000 DIESELMAX units since 2004, and fitted them to a variety of machines across different applications and environments.Īn optional limited slip differential gives a JCB 3CX Eco superior traction and performance, as well as reduced tyre wear.
