JCB, excavator--World first for JCB digger

JCB has launched world's first excavator with in-cab hot drinks facilities. JCB operators told the company that they wanted to be able to easily make hot drinks on cold days. So JCB delivered.

Now drivers don't need to get out of the cab to make a cuppa - all CB 3CX and 4CX Eco backhoe loader models come with an optional hot water dispenser, capable of producing tea, coffee or soup, which locks securely into an area at the side of the cab.

JCB’s Tim Burnhope, group managing director for product development and commercial operations, said: “Driver comfort is paramount and we are always looking at new, innovative ways to improve things.

“In preparation for a cold winter, our team of engineers looked for innovation inside the cab, the place where operators spend the majority of their time.

“We all know that a happy operator is a more productive operator and so we felt everyone wins with our new innovation.”

In addition to the hot water dispenser, the new backhoe range also features a whole host of environmental and performance-enhancing benefits. Check out our review of the JCB 3CX Eco backhoe here.
