Issue 4

November 2014

The Holt Headliner As we move through Autumn and into Winter, we still have a plethora of brilliant offers for you to take advantage of.

Next month, keep an eye out for the Holt JCB online advent calendar, which will not only contain interesting facts and figures about the company and machinery we supply, but also exciting giveaways and some fantastic offers on our machinery and parts.

I have now been in the Bristol depot coming up to a year and have really been enjoying the various challenges that the job has thrown at me. I work with a great team of service staff and engineers, who strive to do the best job possible for our customers and I aim to

continue improving the 24/7 service that we provide at the Bristol depot; and throughout the South West and Wales.

At Holt JCB, customers are our number one priority. I have met a number of you in the Bristol area and look forward to meeting a great deal more of you over the coming months.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW 1CX-T BACKHOE LOADER: HILLHEAD 2014

JCB’s 1CX backhoe loader has become even more versatile with the addition of a tracked version. Launched at Hillhead, the 1CX-T is likely to appeal to customers looking for increased climbing ability, unparalleled stability and exceptional pushing power in soft ground conditions.

Although it is built on a skid-steer

base, the tracked backhoe loader offers a superior lift capacity to a competitive 600kg skidsteer, providing a 25% greater dump angle and up to 15% more breakout force.

Even when providing increased pushing power, the Power Management System reduces fuel consumption by controlling the transmission output to enable travel speeds with lower engine rpm. Maximum breakout force can be provided without spinning the tracks or stalling the engine.

The 1CX-T enables operators to easily enter the cab from a full-height side-entry door, removing the requirement to clamber over a potentially dangerous front attachment.

Cab options include a standard canopy, a low height canopy, and a full cab with

integrated heating or optional air-con.

But will this new tracked technology be making an appearance higher up the range?

“Technically, it would be possible for the 2CX and 3CX models to be offered on tracks,” said a JCB spokesman.

“However, the key benefit of the 2CX and 3CX backhoes is their ability to travel on the road between sites.”

But if this tracked backhoe loader still isn’t innovative enough for you, why not have a look at the winning designs from JCB’s Project 120 competition, which asked designers to predict what form these machines might take in 60 years time?
