JCB is to debut its new 4CX DualDrive backhoe loader in Scotland at the upcoming Scottish Plant Operator Challenge on July 27.
Competitors, visitors, and plant enthusiasts attending the event will be able to test drive the new innovation which allows the operator to reposition and drive the machine while facing the backacter without having to turn the seat to the front-facing position.
Georgina Williams, backhoe loader training and demonstration manager from JCB, said, “We’re delighted to be debuting our new 4CX DualDrive backhoe loader at the Scottish Plant Operator Challenge. It is a showcase for the best talent in the Scottish plant industry and an event which attracts plant professionals from all over, keen to see and try out the newest innovations.
“We have studied how operators work and concluded that the single biggest ease of use and productivity improvement would be the ability to drive the machine in both directions while operating the excavator.
“This unique feature sets us further apart from the competition and reinforces our commitment to have the easiest and most comfortable backhoe to operate. We are looking forward to seeing the 4CX put to the test in Errol later this month.”
