The JCB 4CX Pro DualDrive is being used for a range of tasks including ditching and repositioning on large groundworks projects. The new machine was chosen for its flexibility, versatility and cost effectiveness on site and has already boosted productivity, JCB says,
Jack Elliott, director of the eponymous business, said, "JCB DualDrive adds value on site in a number of ways. Certainly less fatigue for the operator and a reduction in the amount of time required to do a set task. Repositioning now can be done in a matter of seconds, whereas before you’d be lifting your bucket, spinning your seat around, lifting your stabilisers, driving forward. Now all this operation can be done simultaneously, with two or three actions happening at the same.
“DualDrive certainly makes the job easier and faster. It has made a great machine even better, bringing time savings, greater comfort and efficiencies across our business. We won’t get another backhoe loader without it.”
