Feltham Demolition harnesses the power of the JCB 131X tracked excavator for its toughest assignments.
When Feltham Demolition specified its latest machine, it equipped it with bucket and dipper ram guards, side impact protection, cab cage and belly plates for the rigours of the job.
Supplied by dealer Greenshields JCB, the 131X has so far demolished two large portable classrooms and a theatre at East London University, five houses in Oxshott, Surrey and is now dismantling a warehouse in Staines, Surrey.
“We’re very happy with the machine, it is running really well and the fuel economy in particular is brilliant,” says managing director Stephen Carr. “We are a small company with just a few machines and like to keep everything in house if we can, so reliability and efficiency are really important to us.”
Carr is happy to see his faith in British manufacturers rewarded, commenting: “We like to buy British where possible and believe JCB to be a great British brand. The JCB 131X is undoubtedly one of the best machines on the market.”
The company has previously hired JCB machinery and bought its first new machine, an eight-tonne JCB 86C-2 excavator last year. This performed so well that the company soon ordered the JCB 131X.
Established more than 20 years ago, Feltham Demolition offers a variety of services, ranging from demolition and dismantling to commercial strip outs and asbestos removal in London, Surrey, Egham, Staines, Twickenham, Woking and the surrounding areas.
