Derbyshire-based Collins Earthworks has added eight 220X and five 370X JCB excavators to its plant fleet.
It does have other JCB machines, including telehandlers and backhoes, but for excavators it has previously preferred Volvo. It is even a Volvo dealer for mini excavators.
The order, fulfilled by dealer TC Harrison, is considered significant by JCB. Sales director Nick Grills said: 鈥淢ore and more major contractors are recognising the quality of the JCB X Series range. Superb structural reliability, operator experience, serviceability and parts availability are all contributing to increased sales as the reputation of the X Series range continues to grow.鈥�
Collins Earthworks director Dave Collins said: 鈥淥ur heritage is in bulk earthworks, and these new JCB machines will further strengthen our capability in that sector. We鈥檝e chosen to invest in JCB as the X Series range is durable, productive and well supported.
鈥淏ased just a few miles down the road from our headquarters we have a fantastic relationship with the JCB factory and working with a UK manufacturer helps support our demands for quality and sustainability. The new 370X is a great match for our high-volume excavation work and keeps us aligned with the latest emissions and efficiency standards.鈥�
