JCB has won a $45m contract to supply 4CX backhoe loaders to the United States armed forces after, what it says, was an extensive evaluation period.
The order placed by the US Marine Corps (USMC) will see the JCB machines supplied over the next five years, along with hands-on operator training and attachments. JCB is a defence contractor to the US Department of Defense and the latest agreement is the second major contract between JCB and the USMC and follows a $39m deal in 2024 for Multi Terrain Loaders, militarised versions of the JCB Teleskid. This latest contract with the USMC is part of JCB’s long-standing support of defence operations around the world.
JCB explained that the 4CX backhoe loader selected for this contract combines mission-ready strength with advanced features tailored for tactical and jobsite applications. Central to the 4CX’s performance is JCB’s side-shift backhoe with Powerslide system, which enables side-shift movement of the boom.
