The range includes the seven-tonne payload JCB 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model
The dumpers will create 70 new jobs in the next 12 months. They are designed to address growing industry concerns over accidents and serious injuries involving site dumpers on construction sites. The complete range is compliant with the latest safety legislation including ISO 5006:2017 and EN474. The seven-tonne machine is part of a range of eight other site dumper models for the one to nine tonne markets. The biggest market for the machines is the UK and Ireland followed by France.
The JCB 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model features a reduced skip height and a design which delivers big improvements in visibility, while a longer wheelbase and lower centre of gravity boosts stability. Operator protection is provided through a ROPS/FOPS Level II JCB SITESAFE cab, which incorporates an integrated protection system, potentially allowing the operator to remain in the cab while being loaded.
