JCB Rental Backhoe Now Available With Pilot Controls
JCB’s entry-level 3CX, a 14-ft. full size backhoe loader built in Savannah, GA, is now available with pilot controls. The machine has a 13,063 lb. loader breakout force and 6,354 lbf loader lift capacity to its full height.
The excavator bucket has a 13,942 lb. breakout force and is powered by a JCB EcoMax Tier 4 Final engine delivering 74 hp. This highly efficient power plant has no requirement for a costly Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or any form of exhaust after-treatment such as DEF, reducing operating costs and allowing for quicker turnaround time between rentals.
Customers have asked that JCB develop pilot controls for the 3CX, which traditionally has been offered only with manual controls. Adding pilot controls to the 3CX allows operators to easily adapt from operating an excavator to a backhoe. JCB engineers have completed the development of this technology with Pilot Controls now offered as optional equipment. Other options include a climate controlled cab, hammer pipework, an extending dipper and loader pipework.
The 3CX comes standard with daily fluid auto-checks and JCB LiveLink telematics, allowing users to monitor machine performance and maintenance needs. Owners are alerted via email or text message if the machine continues to operate with a fault alert. The 3CX is the only backhoe on the market to offer this exclusive feature.
Backed by a five-year warranty, the heavy-duty, rental-ready 3CX backhoe delivers best in class performance, comfort and durability, with the lowest running costs for maximum return on investment.
