1T DUMPER

JCB 1THT Dumper: Compact, High-Tip Power for Confined Sites

The JCB 1THT Dumper is a compact yet robust 1-tonne (1000 kg) payload hydrostatic dumper, specifically engineered to navigate and perform efficiently in confined and challenging construction environments. Its high-tip skip capability, combined with superior build quality and operator-focused safety features, makes it an indispensable machine for moving and tipping materials on house-building projects, landscaping jobs, and general site work.

Features

• 1-Tonne High-Tip Payload: With a maximum payload of 1000 kg, the 1THT can transport substantial volumes of material (e.g., 540 litres heaped skip capacity). Its defining "High Tip" feature allows the skip to be raised to an unloading height of approximately 1.62 meters, enabling effortless tipping into standard skips, trenches, or over various obstacles.
• Powerful Kubota Diesel Engine: Powered by a reliable and fuel-efficient 3-cylinder Kubota Diesel engine, typically rated at 15.5 kW (20.8 hp - 21.1 hp). This water-cooled unit delivers ample power and torque for excellent off-road performance and sustained productivity.
• Hydrostatic Transmission (4x4 Drive): Features an advanced hydrostatic transmission with permanent 4x4 drive. This provides smooth, uninterrupted power delivery, excellent traction, and high travel speeds (up to 11 km/h or 7 mph) across varying terrains. Hydrostatic braking technology is a significant advantage, particularly when operating on gradients, offering precise control.
• Rugged & Durable Construction:
  • Built with a heavy-duty, damage-resistant articulated chassis and skip, featuring thick steel sidewalls and robust front and base plates.
  • Designed to withstand the rigours of the rental market and demanding site conditions, ensuring exceptional reliability and longevity.
  • Precision machining techniques for high tolerances and accurate location of pins and bushes.
• Enhanced Safety Features: JCB has prioritised safety in its site dumper range. The 1THT includes:
  • Two-Stage Drive Inhibit System: Requires the operator to be seated with the lap belt engaged before the machine can be driven, preventing unintentional movement.
  • Folding ROPS Frame: A hinged Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) frame is fitted as standard, providing crucial operator protection in the event of an overturn. It also allows for a lower machine height during transport, improving logistics.
  • Hi-Viz Elements: Often features Hi-Viz yellow painted steps and handles for improved visibility and safe 3-points-of-contact access/egress.
  • New Park Brake Button: For additional safety, a dedicated park brake button comes as standard.
• Exceptional Manoeuvrability & Access: With an overall width of approximately 1120 mm, and often available with narrow width wheel and tyre options (as low as 980mm width), the 1THT is designed to fit through standard 1-meter doorways, making it ideal for cramped applications like house-building or landscaping. Its articulated chassis and central oscillation maximise strength and stability on uneven ground.
• Ease of Operation: JCB 1THT dumpers are known for their simple, clear, and user-friendly automotive-style controls. An uncluttered dashboard, hydrostatic drive (eliminating gear stick and clutch pedal), results in improved access, easier operation, and fast learning curves for new operators.
• Excellent Serviceability: Designed for minimised downtime, with large ground-level service access points and engine canopies that provide maximum access to all maintenance areas.

Applications

The JCB 1THT Dumper is an essential piece of equipment for:

• House Building & Residential Construction: Moving soil, rubble, sand, and aggregates on confined building plots.
• Landscaping & Groundworks: Transporting topsoil, bark, stones, and waste materials for garden projects, path laying, and site preparation.
• General Construction Sites: Efficiently moving materials around site, especially in tight spaces or between different levels.
• Demolition Projects: Clearing debris and waste from demolition areas.
• Utility & Trenching Work: Backfi
