JCB has secured a $205 million contract with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to supply 535 militarised 437HT wheeled loaders over the next decade. This marks the third contract from the USMC, following a $45 million order for a militarised 4CX backhoe loader and a $39 million deal for Multi Terrain Loaders.

JCB will provide test machines to the USMC later this year, with full production expected to begin in 2027. The contract is part of the TRAM vehicle programme and reflects JCB's support for global defense organizations, having sold nearly 10,000 machines in the last decade.
