JCB have won of their biggest single orders to date after securing a £50 million-plus deal from one of the UK’s largest plant hirers. A-Plant are purchasing more than 1,550 JCB machines, a move which comes on the back of a £35 million order last year for more than 1,000 units.

The new machinery fleet mainly consists of micro-, mini- and midi-excavators, Loadall telehandlers and tracked excavator models, as well as JCB site dumpers which were launched earlier in the year.
Graeme Macdonald, CEO of JCB, said: ‘This order is very significant as it is one of the largest JCB have ever won. We are delighted that A-Plant have chosen JCB again to supply such an extensive range of products.’
A-Plant’s marketing director, Asif Latief, added: ‘This is the biggest order A-Plant have ever placed for JCB equipment and this substantial investment in new JCB machines signals our intent to offer our customers one of the youngest fleets in the industry.’
