JCB’s bulldozers appear on social media from mimes to election campaign. Today JCB has become a symbol of popularity of people, not just a machine. But often the question arises as to why the JCB machine always appears in yellow color, was this machine yellow from the beginning or its color was changed. So let us tell you today why the color of JCB was kept yellow, for the first time it was painted and what are the reasons behind it.
What is JCB machine and where is it used?
JCB is a British company, which has a full form Joseph Cyril Bamford. The company started in 1945 and now makes machines used in places like construction, excavation, farming and waste management worldwide. JCB machine in India often means Backhoe Loader. A machine that loads from the front and digging from behind. It can be run from both sides and its use is done in all the work like building roads, dumping of building, lifting or digging.
Why was the color of JCB yellow?
The yellow color is naturally bright and it is easily visible in the day and also in low light. The construction site often has dust, soil and stir. In such an environment, yellow machines are seen from a distance, due to which people can be alerted by seeing them. Many times accidents occur at the construction site because the machine is not visible on time. But due to yellow color, JCB machines and bulldozers are seen before other vehicles and workers, which reduces the chances of conflict and accidents. Yellow color has become a symbol of construction works all over the world. From helmets to warning boards, many things are in yellow. This made this color a commercial election for machines like JCB. In such a situation, over time, JCB added its brand to yellow in such a way that whenever we see a yellow excavation machine, JCB name comes to the mind, whether it belongs to another company.
In what color was it painted for the first time?
When JCB machines were first made, their color used to be red and white. In the 1950s, when JCB’s backho loader machine was launched, she used to come in red and blue. But soon it came to light that these colors were not visible from far away while working at construction sites, which increased the risk of accidents. In such a situation, the company had to think about which color can be such that can be seen from far away, increase security and gives the machine a different identity. Therefore yellow color was chosen because the yellow color is naturally bright and it is easily visible in the day and also in low light.
