JCB

The JCB stand this year was again situated at the south end of the show ground overlooking the display area. There were several tracked excavators on display, including the JS460, JS330 and JS140.

The 722 Articulated dumptruck was there along with a 456 wheeled loader.

There were 6 JCB machines in the demonstration area including the 540-170 loadall and the Demolition spec JS330XD.

Because of the closeness in the calendar of the Royal Show, there was no merchandise being sold from the stand, but JCB are committed to producing even more new models as detailed below

JCB have a number of new models planned for 2006 / 2007 in various scales from 3 different manufacturers.
New 1:50th scale models for 2006/2007 include the 722 Articulated dumptruck and the 540-170 Loadall with one more, as yet undecided 1:50th scale model. All 3 are likely to be manufactured by Motorart and will probably also appear in 1:87th scale. New 1:25th scale models for 2006 include the 8018 mini excavator and the 190 Tracked Robot, both being produced by Joal. The final new model is of a 1:32nd scale Fastrac agricultural tractor which is being made by RC2 (Britains) for release in 2006. Check out the "Joal News page" for pictures of the new 1:25th scale JCB 3CX models.
