JCB digger drivers have received some heart-warming news with the announcement that a new system is available on its iconic backhoe loaders that automatically heats the cab and engine before the operator arrives for work in the morning.
The device means the machine now takes much less time to reach operating temperature in cold weather and is ready to start its daily shift much quicker – boosting productivity for owners and operators.
JCB’s Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said, “This is another fantastic innovation on JCB’s backhoe loaders that will allow operators to simply get in and drive, without having to defrost windscreens or warm through the engine. As well as providing greater comfort for the operator it will cut downtime and boost productivity for the customer.”
