GET THE JOB DONE!
Military organizations operate in every climate and place on earth, in the most extreme condi-
tions. If something goes wrong, even in the most remote locations, parts and service needs to
be immediate in order to maintain tempo and reduce vulnerability.
Sustainability of JCB military machines is achieved through JCB’s understanding of the unique
logistic requirements of military organizations and by our integrated network of over 1,000
dealers in 150 countries. Our military machines share several common components with our
commercial machines securing parts availability at local JCB depots. Reinforcing our dealer
network is JCB’s Global Manufacturing resource with facilities on four continents and the JCB
World Parts Center capable of world wide parts distribution within 24 hours. Service support
is achieved through JCB’s global dealer network. Their unique understanding of local operat-
ing conditions and their JCB trained technicians backstopped by a specialized military products
support team insures swift, accurate and enabling service support.
From the searing heat and sand of the desert, to the humidity of the jungle, through frigid ice
fields, at sea level or at altitude, you can rely on JCB parts and service support anytime, any-
where and under any operating condition. With JCB you are never isolated from support.
JCB | Global operations from the heart of the US
Thank you for taking the time to read about JCB.
I hope you get some feel for our company, our prod-
ucts and the great people that we have.
My father, Joseph Cyril Bamford, started this compa-
ny just over sixty years ago at the end of World War II. These were tough times. Through
sheer hard work, JCB has grown to become the fourth largest manufacturer of construc-
tion equipment in the world.
JCB is now a global company operating in over 150 countries, but the challenge for us is
to stay close to our customers as we grow. Thankfully, JCB is well positioned to do so.
We are a privately-owned family business which means we do not have to answer to the
stock market–just our customers! We try to minimize bureaucracy and aim to be quick at
making decisions. Above all, we never forget that our customers pay our wages.
Sir Anthony Bamford
CHAIRMAN, JCB
JCB has been associated with the military since day one, over
60 years ago. Our founder, Joseph Cyril Bamford (Mr. JCB),
designed his first products from surplus military equipment
which he built into tipping trailers. That was 1945.
Today, JCB has supplied over 50 military organizations across the world with unique machines,
designed specifically for their needs. We task our design engineers with a common theme–relia-
bility, maintainability, transportability, mobility, survivability and of course speed. We build our
machines to withstand even the toughest conditions. Joseph Cyril Bamford used to say that suc-
cess comes from having a clear ‘sense of urgency’. Mobility is the essence of warfare and work-
ing hard to ‘help you get the job done’ is the essence of JCB.
I am delighted to present to you our military product range.

JCB’s High Mobility Engineer Excavator Type 1 (HMEE-1)
is capable of self deploying with its two man crew at road
speeds in excess of 55 mph.
The High Mobility Rough Terrain Forklift (HMRTF) is the
world’s first and only high speed, high mobility telescopic
handler, capable of self deployment at speeds above 50 mph.
The High Mobility Variable Reach Truck’s (HMVRT) patent-
ed front end design allows the operator to efficiently lift up
to 10,000 lbs.
The revolutionary JCB High Mobility Fastrac (HMF) is a fully
suspended, highly productive utility vehicle.perfect for a whole
host of military applications.
The JCB High Mobility Utility Vehicle (HMUV) is a vehicle
designed to meet the requirements of close support operations
and at a high speed, with both operational and tactical mobility.
High Mobility Solutions
JCB’s relationship with the military goes back to 1984,
when the British Army and RAF purchased nearly
1,000 JCB 410M machines. It was a version of our
civilian loading shovel, a relatively unsophisticated
machine, capable of around 30 mph, without
suspension or a sophisticated braking system.
Since then we have built up significant experience and
expertise in this highly specialized field and now we are
proud to introduce our range of five purpose-built high
mobility military machines: the JCB HMEE -
backhoe loader, the HMVRT and HMRTF
- telescopic handlers, and the HMF
and HMUV - utility vehicles.
The range has been developed specifically to provide
logistics and engineering solutions for the military. All
five machines benefit from full suspension and ABS
braking, enabling them to travel at speeds of over
50 mph (80 kph) both on the road and cross-country.
They have been designed with operational mobility in
mind; all are transportable in a C-130 and the HMRTF
can also be moved in a standard ISO 20 ft container.
The wide range of JCB attachments mean that these
machines offer maximum versatility and minimum fuss,
whether digging, lifting, loading, unloading or carrying.
But we don’t just excel in our products. When your
machines might be deployed at short
notice anywhere in the world,
you need to know that there’s a global
logistics reach and service to give you the support you
need wherever you are. JCB’s network of over 1,000
dealer depots in 150 countries, and our state-of-the-art
World Parts Center ensures that our customer service
is, quite simply, the best in the business.

Built specifically for the US military as a replacement
for their Small Emplacement Excavator, the JCB High
Mobility Engineer Excavator (HMEE) is the result of
a three-year program of design, development and test-
ing to meet stringent performance criteria. Originally,
JCB and one other manufacturer were briefed on the
development project for this specialist machine, but it
was the JCB team which won the US Army produc-
tion contract in 2005.
The army’s typical road speed requirement is 55 mph
(88 kph) . To travel safely on what may be public roads
at this speed requires: more powerful engines, truck-
type transmissions matched to the power units,
sophisticated suspension systems for dual on- and off-
highway use, and ABS braking and steering systems to
comply with highway regulations for safety at speed in
all conditions. The JCB HMEE meets all of these require-
ments and more.
It is a unique military machine that takes its suspension
and transmission technology from the JCB Fastrac and
combines it with world-leading JCB backhoe loader
technology. The result is a backhoe loader capable of
55 mph (88 kph) on the road, but that also offers
superb off-highway performance. A 12 ton, 4-wheel
drive, 4-wheel steer machine with a 6.7-liter diesel
engine, the HMEE can lift more than 4,400 lbs and dig
to a depth of almost 13 ft. It is designed to be air
transportable by Hercules C-130 aircraft, and
armoured cab versions are also available.
High Mobility Engineer Excavator - HMEE
All in all, the JCB HMEE is an incredible piece of
equipment that, thanks to its breakthrough technology,
high speed and superb mobility, will revolutionize the
capability of military engineers.

The revolutionary JCB High Mobility Fastrac (HMF) is
a fully suspended, highly productive utility vehicle.
Capable of safe travel at high speeds, both on- and off-
road, what makes this machine so unique is the ability
to achieve road speeds of over 55 mph (88 kph) and
be equally effective off-road.
The HMF is a universal logistics support vehicle
specifically designed to work effectively with an
extensive range of attachments, including backhoes and
blades, so its potential for military use is enormous.
Key to its performance is the full suspension system,
which offers the ability to travel at speed with both
control and perfect weight distribution. This combination
of vibration-free ride and one of the most comfortable
cabs ensures operator fatigue is reduced to a new low.
The RAF use the Military Fastrac to tow Harriers and
other aircraft from hides for operations and, thanks to
the ‘easy-ride’ suspension, for towing sensitive loads
such as bombs and munitions. They can also be used
for high-speed snow clearance of runways, store yards
and depots, salt spreading and de-icing. In fact, some
RAF Fastracs have been winterized for operation at
temperatures as low as -35°.
Every Fastrac model can haul over 26.4 tons gross
train weight at 55 mph (88 kph). ABS braking means
these machines can stop safely with no risk of jack-
knifing. A two-man, low-profile cab offers excellent all-
round visibility and ensures Hercules C-130 air
transportability. And ancillary equipment (tanks, pallets,
ULCs etc) can be carried on the rear-deck.
Whichever way you look at it, this high-speed, highly
mobile, logistic utility vehicle is the perfect choice for
a whole host of military applications.

The JCB High Mobility Utility Vehicle (HMUV) is a
brand new concept, which is designed specifically
to provide the capability to meet the close support
needs of tactical level operations.
A genuine utility vehicle, the JCB HMUV is able to
provide a range of high speed and high mobility
capabilities as a load carrier, a personnel carrier, or as
a platform for the carriage of modular systems such as a
Command Post, gun limber or Air Defence vehicle.
The inclusion of a capable hydraulic system facilitates
the use of a wide range of attachments, while power-
take-off is available as an option to provide power to
hand-held attachments.
A highly capable system, the HMUV is based on the
well proven JCB Fastrac technology. Powered by
a 250 hp Cummins Euro IV engine and with a 6x4
Powershift gearbox the HMUV is capable of road
speeds of 65 mph (110 kph) with similar cross country
performance. The ergonomically designed cab is
designed for two soldiers to operate effectively in
comfort but is easily altered to carry three.
The JCB HMUV is fitted with a two level suspension;
the top level to enable its high mobility, the lowest to
enable transportation in a C-130. With no preparation
required, it can wade through water up to 4.9 ft deep
due to all induction, exhaust and cooling being above
the wading line. Off road, the 4-wheel drive soft-
engage differential locks mean that it is capable
of scaling a 1:1 slope. It is genuinely highly mobile.
As a load carrier the JCB HMUV is able to carry
five tons while simultaneously towing a five ton, braked
trailer. The standard load-bed capacity provides room
for four standard palettes. The JCB HMUV can also be
fitted with a second crew cab allowing a total of six
soldiers to be carried as well as two ammunition
containers.
The JCB HMUV is a unique vehicle designed to meet
the stringent requirements of close support operations
and to do so at high speed, with both operational and
tactical mobility.

The entire family of JCB military products are roughly based on
similar platforms and utilize similar components. The high
speed, high mobility approach eliminates the need for a prime
mover, trailer and supporting personnel for all of the JCB mili-
tary machines releasing those assets for utilization elsewhere in
the theater of operation.
JCB military machines can function independently or together
as a unit to complete a multitude of engineering tasks. The
interoperability and modularity of the JCB military product fami-
ly of high speed, high mobility machines significantly reduces the
logistic footprint of a force while simultaneous increasing its agili-
ty and capabilities.
JCB ‘s commitment to quality is evidenced across the entire
family of military products. Reliability is built into JCB military
machines through the use of redundant systems and on board
diagnostic/prognostic components. JCB’s vast knowledge of
commercial technology and manufacturing process, along with the
utilization of materials that provide quantum increases in strength,
reduction in weight and are non-erosive and non-corrosive, lever-
age the reliability effect and raise the Mean Time Between Essential
Function Failure on all JCB military machines.
