The backhoe loader is the machine most people picture when they hear the word JCB. Loading shovel at the front, excavator arm at the back, and a shape that has been recognisable on British building sites since 1953. Every backhoe toy we stock is modelled on a real machine from the range, so the proportions and the working parts match what your little builder sees out of the car window.

The collection runs from the 1:50 scale 4CX at under £20 up to the 12V ride-on that children can actually drive. In between sit the Bruder 1:16 models with their working stabiliser legs, the Britains 1:32 die-casts built for display as much as play, and the remote control 4CX that has become our most popular toy of all. If you are buying for a first digger fan, start with a die-cast. If they already have three, the remote control version is the one they will ask for.
