BACKHOE LOADER 3CX/4CX
BACKHOE LOADER 3CX/4CXGross power: 55kW (74hp) – 81kW (109hp) Maximum dig depth: 4m – 6.14m Maximum shovel capacity: 1.0m3 – 1.3m3
COST OF OWNERSHIP AND EFFICIENCY.THE LATEST 3CX AND 4CX BACKHOES DON’TJUST PROVIDE YOU WITH THE POWER TOGET THINGS DONE; THEY ALSO OFFER YOUCOUNTLESS FEATURES TO ENSURE THATPERFORMANCE IS EFFICIENT, ANDOWNERSHIP COSTS ARE REDUCED.An efficient drivetrain.Our most efficient 55kW (74hp) BHL requiresno costly DPF or SCR. A flow on demand axle pistonpump makes it not only unbeatable on fuelconsumption, but also avoiding any additionalafter-treatment or servicing costs. This differentiatesJCB from the competition.12 By producing high levels of power and torqueeven at engine speeds as low as 1200rpm, EcoMAXcan provide fuel-efficient matching of transmissionand hydraulics.JCB’s unique TorqueLock system is now standard on81kW (109hp) Powershift model 3CX and 4CXbackhoes. Combined with our optional 6-speedAutoshift transmission, it can help save up to 25%on fuel and 10% on road travel time.For ultimate efficiency, our unique newentry-level 55kW high torque (400Nm) engineprovides excellent excavator performance withthe fuel usage of a low power unit.323CX/4CX BACKHOE LOADER123
COST OF OWNERSHIP AND EFFICIENCYResidual benefits.A new stainless steel SCR replaces the currentexhaust system on backhoes over 55kW (74hp).4We’ve met the strict regulations by reducing NOXemissions by 90%. The emissions of one Stage IVmachine are equivalent to ten Stage IIIB machines,creating a substantially cleaner and safer environment,without detriment to fuel consumption, enginepower or visibility.Added efficiency.To reduce noise and save fuel, we’ve fitted the 3CXand 4CX with a viscous fan as standard; this only cutsin when it’s needed, and doesn’t draw engine power.High back-off brakes reduce viscous drag duringroading and rehandling, which in turn improveseconomy by up to 2%.56 Because the 3CX and 4CX are fitted with aThatcham-approved security system (dependingon territory), you could benefit from lowerinsurance premiums.A high output variable flow pump reduces cycle timesand saves fuel. On manual machines, it also provideslighter lever effort for easier control.4563CX/4CX BACKHOE LOADER3
QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY.THE LATEST JCB 3CX AND 4CX ECO MACHINES AREDESIGNED FOR HARD WORK. THEY’RE MADE USINGONLY THE VERY FINEST MATERIALS AND PROCESSES,WHICH ARE TESTED, TRIED AND PROVEN TO EXCEL.THEY’RE ALSO PROTECTED FROM THE INEVITABLERIGOURS OF SITE LIFE.Damage limitation.1 To stop the 3CX or 4CX’s kingpost hoses fromsnagging and sustaining damage, we enclose themin a flexible, robust guide.2 The steering ram on these backhoes is protectedfrom impact damage whilst loading, because it’smounted behind the front axle.123 To protect boom and dipper hoses from theperils of trenchwork, we’ve enclosed them inside therear structures of the machine.4 The rams on our 3CX and 4CX machines areultra-reliable because they’re protected fromdebris when loading by optional JCB clam shovelram guards.5 To safeguard from impact damage on site, the3CX and 4CX are now fitted with rear light guards.343CX/4CX BACKHOE LOADER45
QUALITY, RELIABILITY, DURABILITYBuilt to last.6 For added rigidity – and to protect hoses fromdamage – a 3CX or 4CX has flat plate-depressedloader arms, while cat tail welds reduce stressconcentrations.The plastic fuel tank on the 3CX and 4CX iscompletely rustproof for ultimate fuel injectionsystem protection.76The single-piece composite cab floor on thesebackhoes is also rustproof, and has moulded waterchannels.89 JCB’s robot welded single-piece chassis maximisesstrength and minimises weight.Tested to the limits.All the materials with which we construct ourbackhoe loaders are tested to the very max. Byexposing those materials to extreme temperatures,chemicals, salt, oil and light, we know they’ll survivethe most hostile conditions.1071089To prove the durability of our new EcoMAXengines, we’ve tested them for 110,000 hours in 70different machines across the toughest applicationsand environments.11The axles and transmissions of JCB 3CXs and 4CXsare built for a 12,000-hour life, with the heavyweightaxles designed to withstand massive shock loads. Therear axle alone has a static load rating of 25,000kg,and a dynamic load rating of 12,500kg.113CX/4CX BACKHOE LOADER5
