3CX PRO: IN THE CAB

In addition to praising the roading performance, load stability and digging ability of his new 3CX Pro, operator Sandy Morgan applauded the cab environment, particularly its cooled and heated seat.

A revised version of JCB’s Command Plus cab was a key feature of the upgraded 3CX Pro’s launch at the end of 2020. Externally, it features four yellow flashing LED beacons integrated into the cab roof. This removes the need for vulnerable roof-mounted beacons and improves the coverage of the optical hazard warning.

The cab interior features a split colour line with darker grey in the lower half and a lighter grey upper half, helping the airy and spacious feel of the cab. A three-spoke steering wheel provides an improved view to the new front display screen.

For the first time, JCB supplies a factoryfitted radio with Bluetooth telephone, USB, AUX and SD card connectivity. The radio is now integrated into the headlining, but can be controlled by a rotary switch in the side console.

Audio and telephone functions are also displayed in the new 7in side display screen. This LCD side screen provides the operator with increased functionality and is controlled by an automotive-style rotary device, which provides quick access to the various menus.
