JCB Brings Revolutionary Dual Drive System to PWX

JCB will showcase its innovative Dual Drive system for backhoe loaders at PWX 2026. Dual Drive enables machine movement while remaining seated in the excavator operating position, eliminating the need to continually rotate the seat and reposition the machine.

During excavation applications, operators have traditionally needed to pause periodically to move the machine forward, rotating the seat and shifting from the excavator controls to the loader controls before returning to work.

Dual Drive eliminates that interruption by allowing operators to move the machine while remaining in the excavator operating position.

With integrated drive and steering controls on the excavator end, operators can advance along a trench line or work area without leaving their seat.

Dual Drive also enhances material handling applications by allowing operators to reposition the machine while maintaining full focus on the excavator end.
