Tool Hire - the rental division of Jewson - is buying a fleet of 300 JCB 8014 mini excavators, 100 JCB 8008 micro excavators, and 53 VMT160-80 vibratory tandem rollers. The company has also invested in 200 Thwaites mini dumpers in a deal worth an additional £2.2mn. All the JCB machines and those manufactured by Thwaites will be supplied by JCB dealer Gunn JCB.

“This is a significant investment which makes our fleet of micro and mini excavators one of the most modern in the industry,” said Jewson Tool Hire director Richard Pedersen. “We are committed to offering our customers the most powerful and up-to-date machines around and this investment delivers on this promise.

“We selected JCB machines after extensive research into a number of suppliers. We have operated JCB mini and micro excavators and compactors for a number of years and they have proved to be an invaluable part of our fleet.”
