Productivity and Traction
The JCB 3CX Eco delivers exceptional productivity thanks to Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC), which combines high torque at low engine speeds to provide faster cycle times, superior pushing power, and excellent hill-climbing performance.
Proportional power brakes give smooth, controlled stopping, while Limiting Slip Differential (LSD) axles automatically engage in challenging conditions, ensuring maximum traction across any site.
Performance and Visibility
Designed for efficient excavation, the 3CX Eco features an equal-length boom and dipper for extended reach and longer trenches without repositioning.
Its narrow-profile boom, 4-ram parallel lift loader arms, and sloping bonnet line provide outstanding visibility for precise operations. With formidable shovel breakout forces of 6,010 kgf, this machine handles heavy-duty tasks with ease.
Operator Comfort and Durability
Operator comfort is built-in, with an ergonomic station featuring a fully adjustable deluxe seat, spacious platform, redesigned pedals, and optional enclosed cab with low noise and vibration.
Ample lockable storage keeps tools and personal items secure. The 3CX is built to last, with a heavy-duty reinforced excavator end, steel fenders, bonnets, and nose for protection, combined with a purpose-designed JCB drivetrain, Dieselmax engine, transmission, axles, and a simple gear-pump hydraulic system for long-term reliability and efficiency.
