Description

Overview
  • Entry-level compact backhoe loader designed to deliver high performance in confined sites.
  • Standard features include 40 km/h transmission, piston-pump hydraulics and excavator-style servo controls.


Compact dimensions & access
  • Approximately 35% smaller than a standard backhoe loader.
  • Nominal dimensions: 2.0 m width and 2.74 m height, enabling access to low-level buildings and basements.
  • Reduced working height and a tight turning circle (approx. 5.8–6 m) allow operation on single-carriageway roads.


Mobility & manoeuvrability
  • Auto-switchable 2WS/4WS steering for quick change between roading and site modes.
  • Three-speed hydrostatic transmission with 40 km/h top speed for independent site-to-site travel.
  • Tighter turning circle (up to 16% smaller than a standard JCB backhoe) for improved urban manoeuvrability.


Cab & operator comfort
  • Spacious cab fitted with excavator-style controls for ease of use and enhanced controllability.
  • SmoothRide system to reduce vibration and improve load retention on- and off-road.
  • Ample internal and external storage to optimise the operator environment.


Versatility & attachments
  • 3-in-1 functionality: compact backhoe, loader and compatibility with skid-steer style attachments.
  • Auxiliary hydraulic flow (typ. 120 l/min) to operate trenchers, breakers and other implements.
  • Wide range of compatible buckets and hydraulic attachments for excavation, grading and material handling.


Safety & serviceability
  • Optional programmable immobilisers and available fisheye mirror to improve security and visibility.
  • Ground-level service points (grease points, daily checks) for safer and faster maintenance.
  • ROPS/FOPS-certified structures and LED lighting options for safe operation in varied conditions.


Telematics & fleet management
  • Standard LiveLink telematics for real-time machine monitoring, fuel use tracking and location management.
