Britain's digger brand, glazed on site
JCB is one of the four makes we have historically specialised in, alongside Volvo, Kubota and Bobcat - and it's the badge we see most. Built in Rocester, Staffordshire, JCB is best known for the backhoe loader, from older Sitemasters like the one pictured through to today's 3CX and 4CX, along with Loadall telehandlers, JS and X-series tracked excavators, mini diggers, wheeled loaders and site dumpers.
That spread of machines means a spread of glass. Working backhoes carry mostly flat toughened panels, which we cut to size on site for an exact fit - the photo shows a sheet on our cutting table right next to the machine. Curved screens and shaped door glass on newer cabs are ordered through our supplier network and fitted at your yard or site.
For the full rundown of what we fit, see our dedicated JCB windscreen service - or just call us on 01724 701 321 with your model.
Gaskets and bonding
Old cab or new, the fit has to be right
Age matters with JCB glazing. Older cabs hold their glass in rubber gasket sets, so a pane can often be cut and swapped in a single visit without adhesives. Modern cabs are direct-glazed - the screen is bonded to the frame and needs proper preparation and cure time before the machine works again. Our team fits both, to health & safety requirements and manufacturer recommendations.
Tracked excavators like the one pictured add their own quirks: split front screens, deep door glass and quarter panels that all have to line up so the front window still opens and stows properly.
JCB questions
Asked about JCB glazing
Do you glaze older JCBs as well as current models?
Yes. Older JCB cabs - Sitemaster-era backhoes included - are glazed with rubber gasket sets, while modern cabs are direct-glazed with bonded screens. We work on both, and flat panels are cut to size on site.
Can you replace the roof glass on a JCB Loadall?
Yes - telehandler roof glass takes plenty of knocks from booms and loads, and we supply and fit it along with front screens, door glass and quarter panels, all to health and safety requirements.
What should I have ready when I call about a JCB?
The model - 3CX, Loadall, JS excavator or otherwise - and which pane is damaged. A photo of the damage and of the machine's serial plate helps us bring exactly the right glass first time.
