Falkirk-based Lomond Plant Hire already uses JCB backhoe loaders and Loadall telescopic handlers. It has now added JCB tracked and wheeled excavators, with 78 new JCB machines delivered in the last 12 months.
New purchases include: 8014, 8025, 8045 and 8085 compact excavators, JS130 and JS220 tracked excavators and JS160W wheeled excavators, along with a JCB Loadall 535-125 and 30 of the JCB 3CX backhoe loaders.
The new JS160W wheeled excavator and 3CX backhoe loader models are working on the upgrade of a Scottish Water sewage treatment plant on the banks of the river Forth in central Scotland.
Lomond Plant Hire managing director Ross Easton said: “A successful year has seen the expansion of our fleet as demonstrated by this significant order. 2013 marks our 25th year in business and will see even further investment and diversification in our plant and equipment.”
