Power, performance and operator comfort are the three qualities that drove Explore Plant and Transport Solutions to invest more than £6 million in adding more than 100 JCB machines to its fleet.
“A key priority for construction sites is the effective management and efficiency of operations, making it important that all equipment supplied for hire, meets the rigorous needs of our customers,” said operations director Warren Wilkinson.
“Having trialled the equipment on site, we’re confident that JCB’s machinery is robust and well-built to exceed those expectations. The standout features of the X Series model in particular are power and performance.”
He added that the initial trial also showed that JCB machinery offered the operator increased comfort, which is key when operating the equipment on site for sustained periods of time.
The Worksop-based business is acquiring JCB Loadall telescopic handlers, site dumpers, generators and for the first time, JCB midi and X Series excavators.
Warrington said the company’s involvement with JCB had grown from acquiring telehandlers, thanks in part to the quality of the support service provided by Greenshields JCB. Now, he says, the focus will include satisfying the demand for eco-friendly plant.
“As we look to update our current range of plant hire assets, and expand into more sustainable alternatives for our customers, we are especially excited for the zero emissions products that JCB is developing.”
