With its near-silent operation, the JCB E-TECH electric dumper range minimises disruption to make sure you stay compliant with cemetery noise regulations.
Construction machinery is put to work in a range of different environments, but cemetery work is perhaps the most challenging of all. While people visit to grieve, remember and pay their respects, councils have essential maintenance work to do to – which requires potentially noisy equipment. Clearly, this noise could not only upset members of the community, but incur significant penalties for disturbing the peace. However, with its near silent operation, the JCB E-TECH electric dumper presents the ideal solution. Read on to learn more about all the ways this range of machines can help you stay compliant with cemetery rules and regulations.
A challenge to cemetery maintenance
These rules, regulations and societal expectations all present a challenge to councils needing to perform cemetery maintenance. Essential work needs to be done to keep the space in the best possible condition and make space for new resting places – but this requires machinery. Traditional diesel-powered machines are very loud to operate, so could risk falling in to the disturbance classification, and their use may upset members of the community. Therefore, organisations working in these spaces need a quieter alternative – and JCB has the ideal machine for a cemetery.
JCB Electric Dumpers: quietly compliant
As part of our commitment to sustainable construction, we’ve developed the E-TECH range – 100% electric machinery with zero emissions. This includes a series of electric dumpers across four weight categories, and the smaller 1TE and 3TE JCB site dumper are ideal for work in cemeteries. Traditional diesel-powered engines work under higher pressures with lots of moving parts, which adds up to noisy operation – especially at the moment the exhaust valve opens. The JCB E-TECH range on the other hand is powered by lithium-ion batteries, which means no engine, fewer moving parts and near-silent operation. The only sound created comes from the tyres and wind, which makes these models a far more respectful, appropriate option for use in cemeteries.

More features suited to sensitive environments
The near-silent operation of our electric dumpers is a huge benefit for cemetery construction work – but that’s not the only feature that makes it an ideal solution for this setting:
- Power and productivity: JCB site dumpers have generous capacity, and the powerful lithium-ion batteries can last for a full day’s work without needing to be charged. This means work can get completed quicker, without interruptions to help minimise the risk of disruption.
- Strong LED work lights: with these powerful spotlights built in, work can continue after dark and outside the cemetery’s opening hours. This again helps to avoid any potential upset or disruption to visitors.
- Zero emissions: obviously electric machines are better for the environment as a whole, but these zero-emissions models also help keep the air directly around the cemetery free from pollution to protect the sanctity and serenity of the space.
The ideal solution for cemetery work
Nothing should disrupt the peace of a cemetery – especially the noise of construction machinery. With JCB’s powerful, productive and most importantly, near-silent range of electric dumpers, you can get essential work done, while protecting the sanctity and serenity of these sacred spaces.
