JCB Products

History of JCB

The company is based in the UK. The company was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford. Since its inception, the company has been engaged in the production of construction equipment. JCB currently has twenty-two plants around the world. The main activity at the moment is the production construction machinery:

• Backhoe loaders
• Crawler excavators
• Wheel excavators
• Crawler mini excavators
• Telehandlers
• Front loaders
• Skid steer loaders
• Rollers (tandem rollers, soil rollers, compaction equipment)
• Diesel generators
• Attachments for special equipment

Backhoe loader

One of the popular and recognizable types of special equipment on the Russian market is backhoe loader models: JCB 3CX and JCB 4CX.

In general, the model range of the company is:

• Excavator loader JCB1
• Excavator loader JCB 3CX
• Backhoe loader JCB 3CX ECO
• Excavator loader JCB 3CX Super
• Backhoe loader JCB 4CX
• Excavator loader JCB 5 CX

The main difference in the JCB model range is:

• First, the operating weight - in other words, this is the weight of the machine itself.

Accordingly, than more weight special equipment, the larger its dimensions, the more powerful the engine, and so on, this gives great opportunities for the operation of equipment.

• The second parameter is the loading capacity - this parameter makes it possible, due to the front bucket, to quickly transfer bulk materials such as snow, sand, gravel and construction debris, and also makes it possible to transfer various loads, for example, at a construction site, a reinforcement structure for installing it then into the formwork.
• The third main parameter is the maximum digging depth

Below is an example of the parameters of the models.

Each base model is endowed with a number of features and options, for example, the JCB 3CX ECO - the engine is endowed with the function of adapting to lower fuel quality, or the built-in coffee maker in the cabin of the JCB 5 backhoe loader. True, all these options can be put on any JCB backhoe loader models for extra money .

In general, in general, a backhoe loader is a universal special equipment, since thanks to the basic attachments of this special equipment, you can dig, carry and load, fill holes and trenches like a bulldozer.

You can also expand the capabilities of the excavator loader thanks to attachments. Attached equipment allows you to carry out work on city ​​street cleaning, dismantling buildings, landscaping and other works.

Lineup of crawler excavators

JS130	JS205	JS260	JZ140
JS160	JS220	JS305
JS180	JS235	JS330
JS190	JS240	JS360

The difference among models is mainly engine power and weight. crawler excavator. The higher these indicators, the wider the range of tasks of the excavator. It is also important to take into account the weight of the excavator for transporting it on a tractor with a trawl.

JCB Excavator Brief

My demo started from the cab of the excavator. The first impression was that the cabin was spacious with good review ohm, the pedals were large, the control levers were located conveniently for the operator. When the engine was running, there was no loud noise or strong vibration in the cab. Then they began to advise me on the technical part of the excavator. The crawler excavator engine is made for any climatic conditions under heat and frost, this important point for use in our country. The engine does not deteriorate during long-term feeding with low-quality fuel. The centralized arrangement of filters is convenient for maintenance of equipment. And many other benefits and innovations that I was told about this technique.

Regarding innovations, I would like to add that JCB has developed a remote control for excavators, which is very convenient, for example, when dismantling in dangerous places for humans or where there is a risk of equipment tipping over during construction work.

The excavator is also equipped with software for remote control of the machine, this system provides a report on the working condition of the equipment and warns of a scheduled technical inspection to replace engine and hydraulic oils.

telescopic loader

It is a lifting vehicle, the main use of which is the movement of loose and non-bulk materials by the front bucket or forks, but the loader can lift and load these materials to high places, thanks to the retractable telescopic boom.

An example of a telehandler application: loading grain into an elevator or loading sand into silos.

The reach of the boom reaches from 6 to 20 meters, and the load capacity is from 2.8 tons to 5 tons.

One of the directions of JCB is the safety of the driver and equipment, for this purpose, JCB has installed indicators on telehandlers, these indicators determine the progressive load, which further prevents the equipment from being overloaded and the possibility of its tipping over. All this information is displayed on the monitor screen and then the program blocks the boom output.

In general, a telescopic loader can replace the work of many types of special equipment, such as a front loader, aerial platform, truck crane.

Its main advantages and characteristics among other analogues.

A large range of wheeled and tracked mini loaders with a load capacity of 600 to 1500 kg.

World recognition of the British brand JCB

Today, J. C. Bamford Excavators Ltd is one of the leading manufacturers of heavy construction equipment. The course of history changed when a talented young engineer, Joseph Cyril Bamford, had financial difficulties, which he decided to get rid of with the help of his own business.

Having rented a garage in 1945, he made a dump truck, which he successfully sold to a local farmer. Further, according to the company's website, the founder of JCB creates a trailer with a manual mechanism that helps to get rid of the load by lifting the body. Subsequently, hydraulic power circuits were used. After a couple of years of successful activity, the company already employed 6 people.

It all started with a purchase welding equipment for 1 pound and the rent of a garage for 30 shillings. Then the founder created his first product - a dump cart. He sold it for £45 and one broken cart, which he repaired and sold for the same price. As a result, Bamford felt confident and took out a loan to start a new company. After that, his next invention was a trailer with a manual mechanism. The body of the structure was raised on the chassis and contributed to the unloading of the contents.

Such products have become in great demand among farmers. This was the main impetus for the accelerated development of the company. The director improved his products, introduced new developments, expanded the staff and the production unit. The trademark's personal logo appeared in 1953, when JCB's turnover had already reached the mark of 3 million pounds. JCB skid steer loaders were sold in the amount of 3,000 copies, but the volumes grew every year, as did the demand for products.

The advent of JCB loaders started with the Mk 1 in 1953. The prototype was a clumsy Norwegian-made excavator. The company invested the resulting profit in promising design developments that had to meet the requirements potential buyers. The models that have already become classics appeared in the mid-60s. At the same time, caterpillar loaders appear.

The 70s were marked by the fact that there is an official representation in India. The company is engaged in the development of innovative solutions and improvement of structural technologies. Almost two decades later, cooperation with the Japanese brand Sumitom is being established. The result is a tractor capable of racing at a speed of 70 km/h.

Since the beginning of the 90s, modern attachments and progressive British equipment, including the JCB front loader and other models, have been presented at the official level in Russia. From the start of the third millennium, cooperation with German investors begins, which open production sites in China.

The range is regularly expanded and updated. Since 2004, even dump trucks have appeared

As a result, today one and a half dozen enterprises and 4,000 people in the world on 4 continents are engaged in the production of legendary JCB products for 150 countries of the world, which include the following range:

• backhoe loaders;
• wheeled and tracked models;
• mini loader Jisibi;
• forklifts with increased cross-country ability;
• telescopic loaders;
• articulated dump trucks;
• various equipment for Agriculture and earthworks.

The British explanatory dictionary Collins even introduced the abbreviation JCB as a new word, a noun denoting a type of construction equipment. Another notable feature is the frequent performances with the participation of tractors of this brand.

Today the concern includes 18 factories located on 4 continents. 11 of them are in the UK, 3 in India and the rest in the US, Germany, China, Brazil.

Initially, the company was English, but now it is transnational. It has been in business since 1945, when Bamford began making his own trailers and carts from scrap metal. They were equipped with a simple and convenient manual lifting and self-unloading mechanism, of Joseph's own design, and quickly found their niche in the market.

In 1947, these trailers began to be equipped with a hydraulic lift. Since 1949, a “signature” bright yellow color has appeared - all JCB equipment began to be painted in this tone. And the first backhoe loader under the brand name "JCB" - "MK-1" was built in 1953. From that time to this day, self-propelled backhoe loaders have become the main products of the company.

The trailers that started JCB.

In 1960, the company entered the market of the United States and Canada, in 1979 it began operations in India. Today JCB owns 18 factories. 11 of them are located in Britain, 3 in India, 1 each in the USA, Brazil, Germany and China. JCB equipment is sold and serviced by dealers in 150 countries around the world.

JCB can be called an exemplary family company: when Joseph Bemford retired in the late 70s (he died in 2001, at the age of 84), his son Anthony became the head of the company. And now the head of the company is Joseph Bemford Jr. - the grandson of that very enthusiast who started a big business by buying a used welding machine and assembling trailers of his own design.

JCB products have been presented in Russia since 1991. A network of franchised dealerships develops and supports the Anglo-Russian joint venture "Lonmadi", the main shareholders of which are the British. This name is derived from the names of the Lonro company and the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute (MADI), deputy. whose vice-rector Viktor Sokolov became the founder and for 13 years the head of the Russian branch for the sale and maintenance of JCB equipment.

So "JCB 3CX" was in the late 70s.

When developing the JCB 3CX model, the company's specialists, relying on many years of experience, proceeded from creating the maximum universal machine for earthmoving, which would not only be distinguished by high productivity and efficiency, but would also be attractive in terms of economy and low cost of ownership.

The result is an excavator that is equally suited for cost-effective operation in large fleets and small businesses, private owners and rental fleets.

The JCB 3CX excavator is equipped with a modern and economical Perkins 1004-40T (1004-42) diesel engine. In recent years, the excavator motor began to be produced at the company's own factories and also received the name "JCB". This four-cylinder engine has a displacement of 4.4 liters.

The Perkins / JCB power unit of this brand is distinguished by its ability to deliver peak power (from 79 to 92 horsepower / 68.6 kW) and solid torque (320-400 Nm) even at low engine speeds. This allows you to significantly reduce fuel consumption, without sacrificing performance. Gross power based on SAE J1995 (ISO 14396).

The Perkins 1004-40T (1004-42) engine is equipped with turbocharging, water cooling and engine preheating (at 240 watts) in frosty weather. In the engines of the JCB 3CX excavators of the latest years of production, there is no particulate filter in the exhaust system to reduce the amount of return gases to the engine, the fuel combustion system has been modified to increase power while reducing fuel consumption.

The cylinder diameter is 103mm; piston stroke - 132 mm. Rated engine speed - 2200 rpm. The fuel tank of the JCB 3CX excavator holds 128 liters of diesel fuel.

The Perkins engine oil filter is equipped with a counterflow valve that keeps the oil in the filter. This design allows you to keep the oil clean longer and reduce motor maintenance costs.

All important engine components are concentrated on one side of the bead, in order to ensure ease of maintenance activities, inspections, and increased productivity. Checking the main working units is easy to carry out daily. It doesn't take long.

The battery is located at the front of the machine and is protected by a grill for safety, easy and quick access. Lubrication and refueling, as well as access to the hydraulic tank located on the side of the loader, can be done from ground level. Everything is thought out for easy and efficient service.

The excavator is equipped with the TORQUE LOCK option, which allows you to reduce fuel consumption by a quarter and increase speed by 10%.

The JCB 3CX gearbox was created exclusively for this technique, taking into account all the specifics of its use. On the backhoe loader, it is possible to install a four-speed manual gearbox (4 forward and 4 reverse speeds) of two types:

• Powershift ("Powershift") with reverse and one shift lever located on the steering column;
• Syncroshuttle with electric directional control and torque converter, with particularly smooth gear changes on the go.

The gearboxes of the JCB 3CX backhoe loaders are fully synchronized. The convenient location of the lever of the electric drive for selecting the direction of movement has been thought out - on the steering column. This allows you to change the direction of the tractor without removing your hands from the steering wheel, which reduces interruptions in work.

The operation of the gearbox, together with the reverse movement system, allows you to change the direction of the tractor without loss in terms of speed. Thanks to the limited slip differential, the torque is automatically distributed to the wheels, depending on the traction conditions.

The torque converter torque ratio is 3.01:1. The forward/reverse switch is servo driven. The speed of movement is: in first gear - 7.3 km / h; in second gear - 11.7 km / h; In third gear - 22 km / h; in fourth gear - 40 km / h.

The hydrostatic front wheel steering uses the main hydraulic pump through the steering priority valve. In the event of an engine failure, the emergency steering system is activated.

The tractor's brakes are disc brakes, self-adjusting with a servo drive, with a small effort on the pedals. The brake system of the backhoe loader provides effective and reliable braking in various situations. Due to the fact that self-adjusting disc brakes work in an oil bath, their properties are retained even after several years of intensive use.

The tires on the JCB 3CX are: Sitemaster 12.5-18-10 (front) and Sitemaster 16.9-28-12 (rear).

Along with the base one, a number of modifications of the JCB 3CX excavator are presented on the domestic market. Their characteristic features: "JCB 3CX Super" - on enlarged front wheels to the size of the rear, "track to track"; "JCB 3CX Sitemaster" - with telescopic handle (fixed handle as standard); "JCB 3CX Contractor" - with a telescopic handle and an increased power engine; "JCB 3CX Potole Master" - with road leveling cutter and pick-up bucket with sweeping brush (special for road maintenance).

Attachments for each of the modifications can be replaced in a short time, depending on the field of application. The front working body can be equipped with forks or a classic or jaw bucket of the required width. The rear working body can be equipped with a telescopic or classic boom, buckets of various types (classic, deep, digging bucket and conical). The carriage of the rear working body allows you to move the mounted installation in any direction.

JCB 3CX Potole Master

In the basic configuration, a jaw bucket with a capacity of just over a cubic meter is mounted in front of the tractor, which allows the excavator to perform the functions of a front loader. An experienced machine operator with such a bucket can load a 7-cc dump truck body in no more than four minutes. The loader arm is reinforced, which allows you to work with serious loads.

The multifunctional front bucket is capable of performing a range of earthmoving functions: dig, level, load, backfill and grab

Behind - a bucket for digging pits and trenches. The productivity of its work is, depending on the depth of digging and working conditions, approximately 80-100 cubic meters per standard eight-hour work shift. If the excavated soil is loaded onto a dump truck in the same shift, then the productivity will be approximately 10% lower.

The telescopic handle increases the working area of ​​the JCB 3CX excavator. Versatility makes it possible to quickly install and effectively use other equipment: a hydraulic hammer, a concrete hopper, soil cutters, brushes and a snow plow.

Thanks to the heat treatment of the boom and handle, with their heating up to 650 degrees, all internal metal stresses that occur during manufacturing and welding are removed. This technology also doubles the life of the arrows and significantly reduces total mass cars.

Precision Machining The JCB 3CX features tight tolerances and accurate pin and bushing placement. Friction welding of hydraulic cylinder eyes provides additional strength.

The bucket is protected from soil spillage during slopes, thanks to a special system for compensating the angle of inclination. And with a 101-degree bucket rotation, vertical trenching can be done quickly and efficiently.

The optional telescopic dipper provides 1.2m more reach and dig depth. This reduces the need to move the tractor and is more economical. The boom and stick have the same length, which allows you to dig as close as possible, next to the tractor. Which also contributes to fuel economy, reducing the need for maneuvering.

Access to the cab of the JCB 3CX backhoe loader is carried out both from the right and from the left side. The cabin has a serious degree of tightness, well dust-, vibration- and soundproofed. Modern air conditioning and heating systems provide a comfortable microclimate and a comfortable working environment.

The noise level in the cabin, according to the manufacturer, does not exceed 73 decibells. The cabin has a 12-volt socket that can be used to charge your phone and use other electrical appliances. The audio-visual warning system monitors battery level, coolant temperature, engine oil pressure, air filter clogging, transmission oil pressure and temperature, and parking brake applied.

Large curved rear-view mirrors and a high position of the driver's seat provide very good visibility. The interior of the cab has well-placed interior lighting for visibility at night.

The workplace of the machine operator is equipped with all necessary adjustments. The steering wheel has a soft, non-slip upholstery. The driver's seat is comfortable, on an adjustable suspension, with armrests. There are a number of convenient and spacious drawers for storing tools and other necessary things.

The glass in the cab of the JCB 3CX is tempered, multi-layered and highly durable. The safety of the machine operator is provided in cases of overturning of the excavator or when heavy loads fall on the tractor cab (The cab frame complies with FOPS / ROPS safety requirements).

Wide cab windows and a high seating position in the cab provide good 360° visibility while the machine is in operation, allowing the operator to view the work process from all sides with virtually no problems.
