SoCal JCB opened the doors to its new Colton headquarters with a grand opening celebration on Nov. 19, 2025, at 2860 S. Iowa Ave.
The event was open to the public and featured live music, lunch, giveaways, hands-on equipment access and appearances from key partners, including the monster truck DIGatron.
The open-house-style event gave visitors the chance to explore the 13,000-sq.-ft. dealership and 3-acre lot that serves as the Southern California hub for JCB's machinery and service. Live equipment demos showcased both the facility's capabilities and the machines SoCal JCB provides to contractors, municipalities and businesses across the region.
In addition to compact excavators and wheel loaders, SoCal JCB specializes in compact and versatile machines such as the Teleskid 3TS-8T and 3TS-8W. These are JCB-exclusive models that combine the maneuverability of a skid steer with the reach and lift capabilities of a telehandler.
These machines, with rated operating capacities of more than 3,600 lbs. are built to deliver high performance in tight job sites. Also on display will be mini excavators designed for precision work in confined spaces, part of JCB's growing range of compact construction equipment.
"This building represents more than just a new location," said Caleb Wright, dealer principal at SoCal JCB. "It reflects how we do business; transparent, customer-focused and invested in making sure every machine we put on the job delivers value from day one."
The Colton location was built to JCB's global prototype standards and includes an eight-bay service area, integrated retail space and extensive equipment yard. Its position along the Interstate 215 corridor — Southern California's heavy equipment row — puts SoCal JCB in the center of the region's construction and development activity.
From its Colton and La Mirada locations, SoCal JCB serves customers from Ventura County south through Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, with service support extending into San Diego. The dealership is already preparing for future expansion to meet growing demand.
