JCB is further expanding its North American equipment range with the addition of JCB Light Equipment. This new product line features 32 models representing three distinct product categories: Light Compaction, Hydraulic Power Packs and Hydraulic Hand Tools.

>Because North America represents 27 percent of the total world market for light equipment, the addition of JCB Light represents a significant market opportunity for JCB. By offering this new product line, JCB and its expanding dealer network can better serve North American customers with a complete portfolio of job site solutions.

Light Compaction

The Light Compaction product category of JCB Light includes rammers, a single drum roller and plate compactors, both forward and reversible. The JCB VMF forward plate compactor series has been specifically designed for easy, effective compaction of asphalt, soil and other non-cohesive (or less-cohesive) materials.

Built for fast travel and high productivity, these machines feature powerful Honda engines (Hatz Diesel on the VMF 130D) and a wear-resistant, high-grade cast tamping plate for optimum durability. With three models to choose from, these machines are built to tackle a wide range of compaction jobs.
