In a deal worth more than £3 million, Hilliard Civil Engineering has invested in a fleet of JCB machinery – including its first ever X Series models.
The machines bought by the Nottingham-based civil engineering and groundworks contractor include JCB 245XR and 140X tracked excavators, site dumpers, midi excavators, Loadall telescopic handlers and compaction rollers.
“We buy JCB because they are a highly reputable British brand. Having been one of first to purchase JCB’s cabbed site dumpers, which have been excellent, we wanted to branch out and try JCB’s wider range,” Hilliard Civil Engineering joint managing director, Matt Hilliard said.
“We tested the X Series machines in a tough quarry environment and found them to be very impressive machines, so we quickly placed our first ever order for these excavators. They are performing very well and our operators find them comfortable and easy to use.
Supplied by dealer TC Harrison JCB, the machines are working on a range of housebuilding, road construction and sewerage projects across the Midlands region, including the first zero carbon home site in Nottinghamshire.
