HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED THE JCB 3CX RIDE YET?

The JCB 3CX ride is one of many attractions that allows visitors to ride or perhaps drive, alongside their family and friends. The ride is inspired by one of the most iconic types of construction machinery, the backhoe loader!

Experience the thrill of operating a real life type of equipment, round the track, enduring the bumps and humps as you go around. Accompanied by a specially trained marshal, up to four other people can enjoy this UK attraction. 

Anyone over the height of 90cm can enjoy this ride, however anyone between 90cm and 110cm must be accompanied by an adult. Don’t worry adults, you have an excuse to enjoy the ride! For the digger mad visitors that would love to get behind the wheel of a 3CX and get to grips with the controls, you will need to be over 110cm. 

Is your child crazy about construction machinery, or could be the next digger driver? Then the JCB 3CX ride is certainly for them!

WHAT IS A JCB 3CX?

As mentioned previously, a JCB 3CX is a backhoe loader. The name has been given to this type of machine as it has a front bucket and a loader at the rear. A versatile machine that can lift materials in the back and the front!

It is a very popular type of machine and this particular model is sold worldwide, and is a market leader in 74 different countries. 

What is a backhoe loader commonly used for?

A backhoe loader can be used for various tasks however the most common jobs include:

  • Digging holes
  • Picking up mud, rocks and even gravel

Additionally, due to their huge wheels they are great for driving over rough terrain, and are incredibly easy to handle (once you have the experience of course!)
