JCB 1CX, 2001 Technical Specifications

Introduction

The JCB 1CX is a versatile backhoe loader designed to perform a wide range of tasks in construction, landscaping, and agriculture. It features a SideShift or CenterMount design, a SAE dig depth of 2551mm, a loader bucket capacity of 0.32m3, and a maximum speed of 11km/h. In this analysis, we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of the key specifications and features of the JCB 1CX.

SideShift or CenterMount Design (SS)

The SideShift or CenterMount design of the JCB 1CX offers several advantages and disadvantages. One of the key advantages is maneuverability, allowing operators to navigate in tight spaces with ease. Additionally, the design provides good visibility for the operator, promoting safety and reducing the risk of accidents. However, the design limits the stability of the machine, which can make it more difficult to operate on uneven terrain. Additionally, the design can make it more challenging to perform heavy-duty tasks, as it may not have the same level of power as other backhoes.

SAE Dig Depth (mm)

The SAE dig depth of the JCB 1CX is 2551mm, which is relatively low compared to other backhoes on the market. This can be a disadvantage for tasks that require digging deeper than this depth, such as foundation excavation or installing pipes and cables. On the other hand, the shallow dig depth can be an advantage for tasks that require precision or for those working in tight spaces, as it allows operators to control the depth more accurately.

Reach @ Ground Level (mm)

The reach at ground level of the JCB 1CX is 3383mm, which is an advantage when it comes to accessing hard-to-reach areas. This is especially useful for tasks such as ditch cleaning, as it allows operators to reach further while staying on stable ground. However, the extended reach may also affect stability, making it more challenging to operate on uneven terrain.

Loading Height (mm)

The loading height of the JCB 1CX is 2348mm, which is relatively low compared to other backhoes. This can be an advantage when it comes to loading materials onto trucks or trailers, as it reduces the risk of tipping over. However, the low loading height can also be a disadvantage when it comes to loading materials onto buildings or elevated surfaces, as it may not be able to reach high enough.

Bucket Width, Min-Max (mm)

The bucket width of the JCB 1CX ranges from 152mm to 1000mm, which offers versatility when it comes to different tasks. A wider bucket can be advantageous for tasks that require moving large volumes of material quickly. On the other hand, a narrower bucket can be more precise, allowing operators greater control when working in tight spaces.

Bucket Breakout (kgf)

The bucket breakout of the JCB 1CX is 2201kgf, which is an advantage when it comes to tasks that require significant digging force. This can be especially helpful when working with hard or compacted soil. However, the relatively low breakout force may be a disadvantage for tasks that require breaking up harder materials such as rock or concrete.

Dipper Breakout (kgf)

The dipper breakout of the JCB 1CX is 1488kgf, which is lower than some other backhoes on the market. This may be a disadvantage for tasks that require significant digging force, such as foundation excavation. However, the lower breakout force may make it easier to control the depth of the dig, which can be an advantage when working in tight spaces.

Slew System

The JCB 1CX uses a rack and pinion slew system, which offers several advantages and disadvantages. One of the key advantages is that it provides precise control over the movement of the boom, allowing for greater accuracy when digging. Additionally, this type of system is typically low maintenance and durable, reducing service and maintenance expenses. However, the system can be slower than other types of slew systems, which may be a disadvantage when it comes to tasks that require speed.

Loader Bucket Capacity (m3)

The loader bucket capacity of the JCB1CX is 0.32m3, which is relatively small compared to other backhoes. This can be a disadvantage when it comes to moving larger volumes of material quickly, as it may require more passes to get the job done. However, the small bucket capacity can be an advantage when working in tight spaces, as it allows for greater control over the amount of material being moved.

Dump Height (mm)

The dump height of the JCB1CX is 2097mm, which is relatively low compared to other backhoes. This can be a disadvantage when it comes to dumping materials onto elevated surfaces, as it may not be able to reach high enough. However, the low dump height can be an advantage when it comes to dumping materials into trucks or trailers, as it reduces the risk of tipping over.

Engine Make & Model, Power, Displacement, and Number of Cylinders

The JCB1CX uses a Perkins 104.22 engine with 35kW@2800 RPM, 2.2L displacement, and four cylinders. One of the key advantages of this engine is its fuel efficiency, which can be a significant cost savings over the life of the machine. Additionally, the engine has a low noise level, reducing the risk of hearing damage for operators. However, the relatively low horsepower of the engine may be a disadvantage for tasks that require significant power, such as digging or lifting heavy loads.

Pump Type, Flow, and Relief Valve Pressure

The JCB1CX uses an HS+gear pump type with a flow rate of 45-100 liters per minute and a relief valve pressure of 207 bar. This setup offers several advantages and disadvantages. One of the key advantages is that it is reliable and low maintenance, reducing servicing costs over time. Additionally, the pressure relief valve ensures that the machine operates safely by preventing damage to hydraulic systems. However, the relatively low flow rate may be a disadvantage for tasks that require significant hydraulic power, such as lifting heavy loads.

Transmission Type and Drive

The JCB1CX uses an HS servo transmission type with 4WD drive. This provides several advantages and disadvantages. One of the key advantages is that it offers good traction and stability on a variety of terrains, improving safety and minimizing disruptions caused by poor weather conditions. Additionally, the servo transmission offers smooth shifting and reduces wear and tear on the machine. However, the relatively low number of speeds may be a disadvantage for tasks that require a range of power and speed options.

Speeds, FR, Ride Control, Travel Length and Height, Width, and Turning Radius Without Brakes

The JCB1CX offers variable speeds and a maximum speed of 11km/h. The ride control is not available on this machine. The travel length is 3400mm, the travel height is 2252mm, and the width is 1556mm. The turning radius without brakes is on the axis. While the variable speeds can be an advantage for different types of work, the lack of ride control may be a disadvantage for tasks that require greater stability. The relatively low travel length
