Wide Range of Quality JCB Dumpers
Scot JCB sells and services the full range of JCB dumpers, from compact models to high-capacity machines with payloads from 1 tonne to 9 tonnes. For sites that prioritise low emissions, JCB offers the 1TE Electric Dumper, featuring a durable 10kWh lithium-ion battery capable of operating up to 8 hours on a single charge. Producing zero emissions, the 1TE is ideal for urban areas, air-sensitive environments, and enclosed spaces, and its quiet operation allows for work during off-hours without noise disruption.
Low-Emission Dumpers
JCB’s latest Site Dumper range includes both Stage V diesel models and 100% electric dumpers, providing low-emission solutions for every type of job site. The electric 1TE and 3TE models deliver zero exhaust emissions at the point of use, making them ideal for indoor work, enclosed spaces, tunnels, basements and urban low-emission zones.
The electric range uses proven JCB E-TECH battery components and offers quiet operation, extended run times and multiple charging options, allowing operators to work through a full shift with minimal disruption. Noise levels are significantly reduced compared with diesel alternatives, improving communication and safety on busy construction sites.
For heavier applications, the Stage V 1T-2, 3T-2, 6T-2 and 9T-2 diesel dumpers provide strong performance with excellent fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and long 1000-hour service intervals to maximise uptime.

- Two-stage drive inhibit system, ensuring seatbelt use before movement.
- LED beacons, work lights and improved visibility across all models.
- Initial movement alarms and optional object detection for enhanced site safety.
- High ground clearance and permanent four-wheel drive for secure traction.
- Ergonomic operator stations with multi-function displays, low noise levels and comfortable access.
- Electric models share a consistent control layout with the diesel 3T, reducing training time.
Electric models further add features such as non-removable batteries, ensuring machine security, and peak power outputs of 10 kW and 20 kW, providing the same performance as diesel equivalents.
Tipping Options for Every Job
JCB Site Dumpers are available with a variety of skip types to suit different material-handling tasks:
- Front Tip: Ideal for mass movement of materials and straightforward loading, found on 3T-2 to 9T-2 models
- High Tip: Available on the 1T-2 and 1TE electric dumper, enabling tipping directly into large skips or containers even in tight spaces.
- Swivel Tip: Available on the 3T-2 and 6T-2, allowing precise lateral discharge when working next to trenches, barriers or within confined sites.
- SiTESAFE Skip: A forward-visibility skip option for the 6T-2 and 9T-2. This design provides up to 30% improved forward visibility, reducing blind spots for safer working.
These options ensure operators can choose the perfect dumper set-up for utilities work, landscaping, housebuilding, road maintenance or major construction projects.
