JCB DualDrive Clocks Big Time Savings on Site
A Barnsley-based groundworks contractor is seeing significant productivity gains on site thanks to the latest JCB Backhoe loader technology.
A JCB’s DualDrive backhoe loader is dramatically reducing the time spent on key tasks for Jack Elliott Groundworks Ltd, improving efficiency, operator comfort and overall site performance.
The company recently took delivery of a JCB 4CX Pro DualDrive, supplied by TC Harrison JCB, and the machine is already making an impact across a range of large groundworks projects throughout South Yorkshire.
The JCB 4CX Pro DualDrive backhoe loader is being used for multiple applications including ditching and frequent repositioning, tasks where time savings quickly add up.
Thanks to the innovative JCB DualDrive system, the operator can drive the machine while facing the excavator controls, eliminating unnecessary seat rotation and repeated start-stop movements on site.
This flexibility allows multiple actions to be carried out at the same time, significantly reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency.
Speaking about the impact of the machine on site, Jack Elliott, Director at Jack Elliott Groundworks Ltd, said:
“JCB DualDrive adds value on site in a number of ways. Certainly less fatigue for the operator and a reduction in the amount of time required to do a set task. Repositioning now can be done in a matter of seconds, whereas before you’d be lifting your bucket, spinning your seat around, lifting your stabilisers, driving forward. Now all this operation can be done simultaneously, with 2 or 3 actions happening at the same time.
“DualDrive certainly makes the job easier and faster. It has made a great machine even better, bringing time savings, greater comfort and efficiencies across our business. We won’t get another backhoe loader without it.”
By reducing repetitive movements and simplifying repositioning, the JCB Backhoe loader with DualDrive helps operators stay focused, comfortable and productive throughout the working day.
Established in 2007, Jack Elliott Groundworks Ltd began operations with just one JCB mini excavator. Today, the business runs a fleet of 12 JCB machines, providing manned plant hire services across South Yorkshire from its headquarters in Barnsley.
The addition of the JCB 4CX Pro DualDrive supports the company’s continued growth by delivering measurable efficiency gains on demanding groundworks projects.
