JCB has secured a $205 million contract to supply 535 militarized 437HT wheel loaders to the United States Marine Corps (USMC) as part of the TRAM vehicle program. This order follows previous contracts for militarized versions of JCB's 4CX backhoe loaders and Teleskid compact tracked loaders.

JCB will provide test machines to the USMC later this year, with full production expected to begin in 2027. JCB's defense business has sold nearly 10,000 machines to militaries globally over the past decade.
