Effortless Loading, Grading & Excavation
The JCB 5CX makes handling material simple and efficient. Its 1.3m³ loader shovel moves over 2 tonnes per cycle, while the innovative 6-in-1 lever and Forward-Neutral-Reverse (FNR) switch allow operators to change direction without taking hands off controls.
Features like Return-to-Dig, Auto Smooth Ride, All-Wheel and Crab Steer, and large 28" Michelin tyres make loading, grading, and ground preparation faster and smoother. With a 2.3m wide 6-in-1 shovel, pre-fitted laser grading mount, extending dipper reach of 7.7m, and excavation depth over 6m, the 5CX simplifies even the toughest digging tasks.
Electro-hydraulics and DUALDRIVE controls reduce operator fatigue and improve precision.
Versatile, Cost-Effective & Road-Ready
The JCB 5CX is a multifunctional powerhouse, replacing multiple machines on site.
Use attachments like the excavator-mounted breaker alongside the loader shovel, or choose from a wide range of hydraulic-powered tools for maximum flexibility.
Powerslide and De-bog features allow effortless repositioning and simultaneous control of loader and excavator.
With 6-speed Autoshift transmission, TorqueLock, ECO mode, and Limited Slip Differential, the 5CX travels safely from site to road, saving time, fuel, and transport costs, while delivering exceptional performance across every task.
