Nicks Blog | JCB HMEE in action

[RSS Bot]

Following our post last month on the British army sappers who escaped death in an armoured Cat backhoe loader we have been inundated with requests for more military posts.

So here is an excellent video presentation from JCB which showcases it's revolutionary HMEE (High Mobility Engineer Excavator) which is used by the US military in action.

The JCB HMEE is the world's fastest backhoe loader, traveling at speeds up to 60 mph
on both paved road and cross country surfaces, comes complete with full suspension and ABS braking technology, sophisticated computer diagnostics, run-flat tires,
roll-over protection and a two-man, air-conditioned cab.

The HMEE provides strategicengineering capabilities increasing: mobility - opening up roads, counter-mobility -creating obstacles for the enemy, and, survivability - providing water and supplies, building burms, and laying electrical lines.
