Introducing JCB DUALDRIVE

At JCB, we always strive to do better than before. That’s why the JCB Backhoe Loader 5CX PRO now features an innovative DUALDRIVE solution for easier operation, more comfort and more productivity.

  • DUALDRIVE foot throttle and brake pedal located at rear of machine allow easy machine repositioning when trenching, ditching, grading, breaking and patch planning.
  • Excellent visibility delivered by a forward-facing wide-angle camera and 7-inch colour display positioned at the rear of the machine.
  • Seamless machine repositioning with an FNR (Forward, Neutral, Reverse) switch under the right joystick and a proportional steering roller on the left joystick.
  • Fantastic manoeuvrability delivered through steering modes: all wheel steer, crab steer and two wheel steer.

Loading made easy

The JCB 5CX combines a host of intuitive control features with the largest 1.3m3 capacity shovel in the series to make loading effortless.

  • Move more than 2 tonnes of material in one dig cycle. 
  • Innovative lever incorporates a 6-in-1 function for easy shovel operation, and the new Forward-Neutral-Reverse (FNR) switch – allowing operators to change travel direction without taking their hands off the controls. 
  • Automatically reset the shovel to level with the Return-to-Dig feature. 
  • Work more efficiently with Autoshift Transmisson and quickhitch integrated Easy Forks.
  • The Auto Smooth Ride system provides a built-in cushion for the Loader arms when moving materials around site. 
  • All wheel steer and crab steer as standard provides outstanding manoeuvrability.
  • Large 28" Michelin XMCL / Power CL tyres offer excellent traction around site.

Grading made easy

Push harder, level better and grade faster with this Backhoe Loader – the JCB 5CX makes ground preparation simple.

  • Always get the optimum angle with the new Return-to-Grade feature.
  • Move more material with the 2.3m wide, 6-in-1 shovel.
  • Easily integrate a 2D laser system with the pre-fitted laser grading mount. 

Excavating made easy

Exceptional dig depth and exceptional reach make for exceptionally easy excavation.

  • Fit large capacity buckets of up to 0.48m3 to excavate up to 190 tonnes per hour.
  • Reach up to 7.7 metres with an extending dipper, allowing work over trenches, walls or landscaped areas. 
  • Dig to more than 6 metres – deeper than possible with an 8-tonne tracked excavator. 
  • Innovative DUALDRIVE controls to reposition the machine while in use, without turning the seat.

Roading made easy

Invest in the JCB 5CX to eliminate the costs of the lorry – this Backhoe Loader goes straight from site to road.
