Home of the original Backhoe Loader. Since 1953, when Mr J.C Bamford invented the world’s first backhoe loader, the company has continuously innovated the concept. One in every two sold is a JCB. They're now built around the world on four continents and exported to over 100 countries. Stars of the world-famous JCB Dancing Diggers and nearly 750,000 across the globe, the JCB backhoe loader made the construction industry what it is today.
