Check both working ends and the drivetrain
- Cold-start the engine; inspect blow-by, smoke, oil pressure, coolant and leaks.
- Test powershift operation in all forward and reverse gears, torque converter response and 4WD engagement.
- Operate loader lift, tilt, bucket and rear excavator through full travel; check hydraulic pressure, drift and cylinder seals.
- Inspect boom, dipper, pins, bushes, stabilizers, chassis welds and attachment locking points for cracks or excessive play.
- Verify tyres, brakes, steering, lights, cab safety equipment, hour meter and serial plate against the inspection report.
Match the machine to your site
Before choosing a JCB 3CX configuration, define trench depth, loading height, ground conditions, travel distance, attachment needs, operator skill and local emissions rules. CRTA can help compare the listed configuration with other factory offers, request serial-number-linked inspection evidence and coordinate independent inspection, insurance and shipping services.
