CAT 422F
Application
Built for the in-between jobs
The work that is too shallow for a 30-tonne excavator and too heavy for a skid steer.
Utility trenching
Water, drainage, cable and services trenching to 4.24 m without mobilising a tracked excavator.
Urban site preparation
Confined access sites where a crawler machine cannot manoeuvre or would damage finished surfaces.
Dig and load in one
Trench with the rear arm, clear spoil and load with the front bucket — one operator, one rental line.
Road & kerb works
Breaking out, excavating and backfilling along carriageways and kerb lines with minimal footprint.
Foundations & pits
Pad footings, inspection pits and manhole excavation on plot-scale developments.
General contracting
Day-to-day site support where a single versatile machine beats renting two specialised ones.
Compliance & Dispatch
Ready at the gate, not after the paperwork
Every 3CX leaving our yard at Office No 7, M4, Mussafah carries third-party Abu Dhabi Municipality inspection sign-off, the machine's technical passport and operator licensing documentation. Site mobilisation does not stall while compliance is chased.
Certified operators are available for immediate deployment across ICAD, Yas Island, Ruwais and greater Abu Dhabi.

JCB 3CX rental questions
What is the dig depth of the JCB 3CX?
The JCB 3CX units in our fleet have a 4.24 metre dig depth and a 1.0 cubic metre loader bucket capacity, powered by the JCB EcoMAX engine in high ambient temperature configuration for UAE conditions.
Do you also rent CAT backhoe loaders?
Yes. Our backhoe class includes Caterpillar 422F units alongside the JCB 3CX. Either can be quoted depending on availability and what suits your site.
Is the JCB 3CX suitable for urban and confined sites?
Yes. The 3CX is well suited to urban site preparation, utility trenching and confined access work where a full crawler excavator would be oversized or unable to manoeuvre.
Can I get an operator with the backhoe loader?
Certified operators are available for immediate deployment across ICAD, Yas Island, Ruwais and greater Abu Dhabi. Operator certification is verified as part of the rental contract.
How quickly can a 3CX be on site?
Same-day dispatch is typical for Abu Dhabi city, Mussafah and ICAD, subject to fleet availability. Call or WhatsApp +971 56 546 3897 for live availability.
What rental rates apply?
Competitive daily, weekly and monthly rates are available. Rate depends on duration, whether an operator is included and site location. Contact dispatch for a firm number against your scope.
