Protecting those who
protect our country
The JCB HMEE–The World’s Toughest Backhoe Loader
When the U.S. Army sought a highly mobile, self-deployable backhoe that could protect its crew in hostile environments, it turned to the company that builds
more backhoes than anyone else. Three years of research, development, test and evaluation went into the JCB HMEE (High Mobility Engineer Excavator), the
first purpose-built backhoe loader developed expressly for the U.S. Military. Replacing the SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator), the HMEE offers an automatic
transmission, highway speeds of 60 mph, (eliminating the need for a logistical support vehicle) and an optional armored cab for enhanced crew protection.
The JCB HMEE–built by the world’s best selling backhoe
loader manufacturer in Savannah, Georgia USA
On May 29th, 2009, a JCB HMEE digging a culvert trench near South Balad Ruz,
Iraq, struck an anti-tank mine that exploded. The HMEE was immobilized, but the
operator walked away from the wreckage unharmed. That’s exactly what it was
designed to do – protect those who protect our country.
