In 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford began using his engineering flair and innovative thinking to invent new construction equipment. In 1953, the JCB backhoe loader revolutionised the construction industry. Today we have a range of over 300 machines operating across six continents and we’re the global market leader for backhoes and telescopic handlers.

The 1 to 2-tonne JCB mini excavator lineup consists of four distinct compact models, the 16C-1, 18Z-1, 19C-1, and 19C-1 PC. Engineered with a 100% steel bodywork for high durability, an extendable undercarriage for variable site access, and a water-cooled 11.7 kW diesel engine, these machines are built to balance robust power with low operating costs.
