HIGH MOBILITY ENGINEER EXCAVATOR | HMEEOperating weight: 14125 – 16180kg Gross rated power: 149kW Maximum speed: 88.5kph Maximum dig depth: 3.94m Maximum loader capacity: 1.0m³

1 The JCB HMEE is a specialised machine originally designed to a US Army TACOM specification for a high mobility engineering vehicle to support its Stryker Brigades. In 2005 JCB was selected to supply 800 machines to the US Army.

2 Varying levels of armour and equipment can be added to the HMEE depending on the role it needs to play, from our unarmoured A-Kit to the highly protected Theatre Entry Standard (TES) specification machines.

3 As a high mobility machine, the HMEE is capable of 88km/h and is able to keep up with military convoys both on and off-road. A low loader is therefore not needed, while the size and vulnerability of deployed forces is reduced.

4 Without bar armour the HMEE is transportable in a C-130 aircraft with preparation. Two HMEEs with bar armour can be transported in a C-17 and six (with bar armour) will fit in an Antonov AN-124. The B-Kit HMEE has been certified for airdrop operations from a C-17.

5 The HMEE has been used successfully on operations by several countries in a variety of roles, including earthmoving, fortification construction, route proving and clearance. 542

A PROVEN SOLUTION.

THE JCB HMEE IS A HIGHLY CAPABLE, PROVEN MILITARY ENGINEERING VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN USED IN OPERATIONS BY ARMED FORCES AROUND THE WORLD.

THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE.

THE JCB HMEE IS DESIGNED TO PERFORM A HUGE RANGE OF TOUGH TASKS IN EVEN THE HARSHEST CONDITIONS.

1 Four suspension modes mean that the HMEE can be optimised for loading, roading, excavating or maintenance.

2 Four-wheel drive and locking differentials allow the HMEE to cope with demanding terrain; because the differentials are soft-engage units, they can be locked on the move.

3 A wading depth of 1m increases the cross-country mobility of the HMEE.

4 All-round dry disc air brakes with twin callipers and ABS provide safe and reliable stopping power, both on and off-road.

The HMEE has three selectable steering modes for impressive manoeuvrability – two-wheel steer, four-wheel steer and crab steer.

A-Kit.1 The “base” model of the HMEE range, the A-Kit has a fully ROPS/FOPS-certified glass cab with excellent all-round visibility. There’s also seating for a passenger, making this machine ideal for non-deployed units.

2 As a tough and versatile machine that can self-deploy quickly on and off-road, the A-kit HMEE is perfect for disaster relief operations.

3 For optimum versatility, this model has a hose reel fitted as standard, along with a 4-in-1 shovel mounted onto a quickhitch carriage.

B-Kit.4 The B-Kit HMEE adds applique armour to the A-Kit machine without impacting on performance; top speed and excavating/loading power are unchanged.

5 Blast and ballistic protection on the B-Kit HMEE is tried and proven on operations in recent conflicts around the world.

6 Useful standard features of the A-Kit model are carried over onto the B-Kit, including the hose reel, 4-in-1 bucket, quickhitch and passenger seat.

C-Kit.7 Originally designed as part of a route proving and clearance system for the UK Army, the C-Kit HMEE has also successfully performed this hazardous role for other countries.

8 Using the B-Kit HMEE as its foundation, the C-Kit adds a blast mitigating belly plate, a blast attenuating seat, an internal spall liner and a footplate for additional protection. There’s also the option to add bar armour for RPG protection.

9 We can prepare this machine for aftermarket additions like a combat net radio, electronic countermeasures, night cameras and thermal imaging technology.

10 In C-Kit trim, the HMEE passenger seat is removed and – if the optional bar armour is fitted – its ability to be transported on a C-130 plane. However, excavating performance, loader performance and roading speeds (unless limited) remain unchanged.

The C-Kit HMEE or TES (theatre entry standard) is a B-kit HMEE with many specialised modifications to allow it to operate in high-threat environments.

1 JCB provides a unique global parts support system via its 2000 Dealerships in 157 countries. The system provides year-round 24-hour-a-day support with rigorous targets to ensure machine downtime is reduced to a minimum.

2 We can provide training for all maintenance levels from operator to maintainer level, with bespoke courses held in either the customer’s country or the UK.

3 JCB supplies technical publications with all machines – both in hard and soft copy, and to commercial or specific military formats. These can be provided in any language as required.

1 JCB’s first military machines were articulated steer loaders capable of 30mph and fitted with forks instead of shovels. In total nearly 1,000 JCB 410M models were supplied to the UK MoD beginning in 1984. 30 years on, JCB has supplied over 3,500 military machines to over 56 countries.

2 We can supply military vehicles that are lightly modified from our standard production models. And, with a range of over 300 machines, we can fulfil nearly any military requirement.

3 In addition to largely standard machines, JCB also offers dedicated military solutions with extensive modifications like 24V electrics, wading and cold climate capabilities, lift and tie-down points for air transportation, and armouring options.

4 JCB is one of the few construction companies willing to design and develop specialised machines for military applications. Alongside the HMEE, we’ve also developed the High Mobility Rough Terrain Forklift (HMRTF) – a high speed telescopic handler designed to support military logistics operations. 4

(Depending on tyre size, ground condition, front ancillaries and cab type etc.)

MULTI MODE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Full suspension with optimised spring rates and damping gives increased mobility and operator comfort and predictable handling on highway. The suspension system allows the operator to select one of four suspension modes –

• Travel mode – full suspension for travel on and off highway. • Transport / Maintenance mode – lowers suspension for tie-down, storage or workshop. • Loader mode – front axle locked for maximum stability, rear axle oscillates. • Backhoe mode – rear axle locked, front axle oscillates.

TRANSMISSION

The ZF Ergopower transmission allows full power gear shifts without loss of speed or momentum. Gear shifts can be under operator control or fully automatic. Electrically operated reversing shuttle enables fast loading cycle times. Torque converter and low first and second gear ratios give excellent tractive effort for loading and sitestripping. Transmission controlled torque convertor lock-up gives improved fuel economy and on-highway performance.

• Easy to use column mounted electric switch controls both machine direction and gear selection.• Direction changes are modulated from forward to reverse with detented lever gates for safety. The light electric twist grip provides

effortless shifting between gears.• Torque converter (13.4”) stall ratio: 1.79:1.• Electrical selection of 4WD.

STEERING

Three operator selectable steering modes available.

• 2WS for on-highway travel. Power assisted mechanical front steering and locked rear steering.• 4WS for loading duties and confined sites. Power assisted mechanical front steering and

synchronised hydrostatic rear steering.• Crab steer for parallel drive when digging close to walls and other obstacles. Power assisted

mechanical front steering and synchronised hydrostatic rear steering.

CAB – A-KIT

The A-Kit cab is designed to seat two people in comfort and to fit in a C130 for air transport with a minimum of modification. The cab frame is ROPS and FOPS approved to ISO 3471 and 3449 (SAE J1040 and J231) for maximum operator protection.

• Adjustable operator’s seat with ergonomically positioned controls to minimise operator fatigue. Fixed passenger seat. 3 point inertia reel seat belts for both seats meeting SAE J386 and FMVSS 210 and 207.

• A-Kit cab provides two door access and sliding rear glass. Standard features include 3 speed heating and air conditioning blowers, front and rear screen wash/wipers, front and rear horn, exterior mirrors.• The main instrument panel is positioned to the right-hand side for ease of viewing from either the loading or excavating position. The main panel carries full instrumentation for vehicle systems and audio/visual warning of system failure. Warning lights for key systems are repeated on a panel in front of the steering wheel.• SAE J1939 CANBUS enables diagnostic access to main vehicle systems.• The A-Kit cab is prepared to accept applique armo.
