Description
Overview:
The Forward/Reverse Powershift Switch is a heavy‐duty electrical control for JCB drivetrains, used to command direction selection in powershift and powershuttle systems. Built with a tough polymer housing and durable metal contacts, it is designed to cope with vibration, dust, and frequent use in construction and agricultural settings. It restores dependable shuttle control so the machine can move cleanly from forward to reverse and back. This direct‐fit replacement is engineered to replace JCB OEM No. 701/80298 and integrates with the existing loom and mounting points on many JCB backhoe loaders and telehandlers, including popular models such as the 3CX and 4CX. It helps maintain precise handling, safe manoeuvring in tight sites, and efficient loading, grading, or material‐handling operations.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement for JCB OEM No. 701/80298 for assured compatibility
- Robust housing and contact set for long service life in harsh conditions
- Stable directional selection to minimise missed shifts and hesitation
- Helps restore precise machine control when the original switch is worn
- OE‐equivalent fit for straightforward installation with existing hardware
- Designed for frequent duty cycles typical of site and farm work
- Resistant to vibration and shock common in loader and handler use
- Supports consistent forward/reverse shuttle across powershift systems
- Suits a wide range of JCB models to simplify parts stocking
- Low‐maintenance component to keep downtime to a minimum
Typical Applications:
Used on JCB backhoe loaders and Loadall telehandlers to control forward and reverse selection during digging, loading, fork work, yard handling, and on‐road positioning. Ideal for replacing intermittent, sticky, or failed direction selectors to maintain safe manoeuvring, faster cycle times, and smooth gear changes in construction, plant hire, farming, and municipal operations.
