JCB has sold more than 350 machines to Merseyside-based Plant Hire UK in a deal worth almost £17 million.
The purchase includes 300 new JCB Loadalls, 50 compact excavators, as well as site dumpers and tandem rollers. The machines will be used on projects across the country and were supplied by Gunn JCB.
Plant Hire UK managing director Graham Jones said, “As the construction sector goes from strength to strength this investment in new JCB Loadalls and compact midi-excavators ensures our customers are guaranteed the highest specification machines with outstanding safety features and telematics support as standard.”
Yvette Henshall-Bell, JCB group managing director of global key accounts added, “Plant Hire UK has a reputation for delivering the best machines and market-leading service, which perfectly complements the JCB ethos. As the world’s number one telescopic handler, the Loadall has a proven track record that construction firms trust implicitly, while our compact excavators are hard-working on-site machines.”
