DUNDEE-based demolition and dismantling specialist Safedem has snapped up a new JCB 370X tracked excavator for use in complex projects across the country.
Supplied by Scot JCB, the machine has been specified with additional cab and body protection for the rigours of demolition tasks.
Safedem has been operating in the demolition sector for over a century and is renowned for its use of explosives engineering and technical precision.
MD William Sinclair said, “This business is built on relationships and we’ve always had a strong one with JCB. My grandfather was in the RAF with Joseph Cyril Bamford and today we work closely with Scot JCB which provides us with outstanding support. As a UK business working all over the world, it’s inspiring to see what JCB has achieved globally. Wherever we go, we find a JCB on site. That speaks volumes.
“We’ve lost count of how many JCB machines we’ve bought over the years and they have never let us down. The new 370X is a good size machine for demolition and handles everything we throw at it. We were looking forward its launch and it has not disappointed. It’s the biggest machine JCB makes, it’s powerful, robust and it’s already proving to be a stable, fuel-efficient machine that is comfortable for our operators.”
The 370X features a 240kW Stage V engine, which is said to deliver a 14% power increase over its predecessor. Redesigned hydraulics and extended service intervals are designed to boost productivity and reduce total cost of ownership.
