ARNOLD Plant Hire has become the first UK rental company to invest in a fleet of JCB Teleskid machines.
The firm has taken delivery of six 3TS-8W models, supplied by Gunn JCB. The machines are fully specified for the waste and recycling sector with factory-fitted guarding and heavy-duty solid tyres.
The investment builds on the Stockport-based firm’s long-standing relationship with JCB, which includes operating the UK’s largest fleet of JCB Teletruks.
Director Stuart Hunter said, “We are delighted to add this innovative product to our existing range. The JCB Teleskid offers our customers the world’s safest and most versatile skid steer loader and makes a strong addition to our specialist machinery portfolio.”
The JCB Teleskid 3TS-8W is described as the only skid steer on the market with a telescopic boom, which JCB said offers greater lift height, forward reach and dig depth ‘than any other model in its class’. A side-entry cab and single-arm Powerboom are designed to provide enhanced safety and visibility.
Powered by a 55kW Stage V JCB DieselMAX engine, the Teleskid features an upgraded cab with a 7” touchscreen display, rear-view camera, electro-hydraulic bucket levelling and joystick customisation via the MyChoice system.
