Construction group snaps up fleet of JCB tracked excavators

Tru7 Group JCB

Tru7 Group has snapped up 20 new JCB 140X tracked excavators.

The Ipswich-based business has bought the models to operate on general construction and housebuilding sites as well as high-profile energy contracts across the UK.

Supplied by Watling JCB, they join existing JCB Loadall telehandlers and backhoe loaders in the fleet.

Guy Nicholls, Tru7 Group CEO and owner, said, “Our family has a long history of buying JCB machinery, especially its telescopic handlers. One of our previous businesses operated by far the largest fleet in Europe at the time.

“We kept hearing how good the JCB 140X model was and felt it was time we tried some. So we ordered 20 models to test out within our operations. The machines have proved to be very good, and the drivers love them. The modern styling, excellent driver environment, and tough build quality make them ideal for our work.

“For many years we have been fortunate to have Watling JCB as our dealer. It is without doubt an outstanding company from the top down – and the team really are a pleasure to deal with.”
