Description

JCB 1CX Backhoe Loader

The small but mighty sitemaster

Our 1CX backhoe loader is the compact sibling of the renowned 3CX, 4CX, and 5CX models, combining the versatility of a skid steer loader, the precision of an excavator and the earthmoving capability of a loader into one efficient package. Designed for tighter worksites, this machine excels in road maintenance, landscaping, groundwork, and projects where manoeuvrability is key.

Level up with JCB 1CX PLUS

For projects that require a little more power, the 1CX PLUS model offers all the standard features PLUS more. These include an air-conditioned cab for an enhanced operator experience and a 3.08m extending dipper for increased reach and dig depth – empowering your team to comfortably tackle even the most challenging tasks.

Find flexibility with JCB 1CX

With its ability to move 360 degrees on its own footprint, the 1CX eliminates the need for wide turning arcs. This agility, paired with its compatibility with a wide array of attachments, makes the 1CX backhoe loader a true multi-tasker. Features like its skid steer loader hitch, reverse drive, and sideshift functionality offer operators ultimate versatility on-site, while a self-levelling loader arm and hydrostatic transmission ensure a job well done, every time. For exceptional performance and productivity on smaller sites, basement areas, or city centres, the 1CX is the machine for you.

Sitemaster of versatility

The 1CX packs the versatility of a skid steer loader, compact tool carrier, and excavator into one machine for ultimate job site adaptability.

  • The excavator end transforms this machine into more than just a skid-steer loader, offering multiple functions in one machine without the need to change attachments.
  • Skid steer loader hitch allows for quick, easy attachment changes.
  • 6-in-1 shovel can load, dig, doze, grab, grade, and backfill, adapting to the task at hand.
  • Auxiliary pipework enables the 1CX to accommodate a range of front and rear hydraulic-powered attachments.

Sitemaster of manoeuvrability

Compact and agile, this JCB backhoe loader offers unparalleled flexibility on space-restricted job sites.

  • With skid steer technology, this machine can turn 360 degrees on its axis, offering easy manoeuvrability around jobs and reducing potential site damage.
  • Ability to move around site quickly and effortlessly
  • Reverse drive feature allows operators to navigate awkward spaces or around obstacles with ease.
  • Sideshift provides greater flexibility when handling material, enabling operators to adjust the position of the load without repositioning the entire machine.
  • The 1CX can also be towed, depending on local legislation.

Sitemaster of performance

This smaller backhoe loader still packs a punch. With power equivalent to a 2.5-tonne excavator, the 1CX delivers outstanding output time after time.

  • Loader arm capacity of 2359kg promises performance when working with heavier material.
  • Featuring a load over height of 2.6m, this machine can safely reach elevated areas like small loading trucks, skips or platforms.
  • Extending dipper dig depth of 3.08m allows the 1CX to tackle deeper excavation tasks head-on.

SITEMASTER OF COMFORT

Built with the operator experience in mind, the JCB 1CX backhoe loader combines safety features with an ergonomic design to ensure a comfortable work environment.

  • Steep-nosed bonnet and narrow boom provide excellent visibility to improve operator comfort, productivity, and safety.
  • Precise, ultra-responsive servo controls as standard make operation as simple as possible.
  • LED worklights offer bright site illumination in low-light or nighttime conditions, reducing the risk of accidents and improving productivity.
  • Air-conditioned cab on PLUS model keeps the operator comfortable throughout a job, no matter the weather conditions outside.
