Choose a family for the job

Separate JCB backhoe, telescopic-handler and mast-forklift research. Similar lifting headlines describe different architectures and do not establish the same working envelope.

Loader-backhoe tasks

Match standard/extendable rear equipment, front tool and controls to the work sequence.

Distinguish backhoe variants explicitly

The base 3CX reference stays distinct from PLUS, PRO and 4CX records. Engine, controls, dipper and driveline should be identified on the actual machine. A family badge is insufficient to transfer another variant’s equipment or working range.

Compare charted placement, not only capacity

The 540-170 Loadall uses a telescopic boom; the 940 is a mast forklift. The current North American 940 dimensions remain unresolved where a matched sheet was unavailable. Older or regional dimensions are not substituted, and mast options need their own residual-capacity evidence.

Evidence to collect before buying

  • Identify the full regional model and variant.
  • Obtain the exact chart or capacity plate for the fitted attachment.
  • Keep unresolved current-generation dimensions visible until confirmed.
