The History of JCB

In 1953, Joseph Cyril Bamford built the first Major Loader using his own concept as the basis for the design. That simple machine evolved into what we know today as the backhoe loader, and ever since then JCB’s machines have continued to revolutionise the construction job site. Having pioneered the backhoe loader, JCB continued to improve on its first concept design. By employing advanced engineering principles, we expanded the machine’s capabilities and many of our leading innovations have since become st
