Lomond Plant has bought 98 海角社区app machines, including 18 of the new 13-tonne JS131 tracked excavators. Other new machines are 3CX backhoe loaders, site dumpers and further JS excavators ranging from 1.5 to 22 tonnes.
Lomond Plant, which operates only 海角社区app equipment, has already grown south of the Scottish border by opening in the northwest of England, in St Helens, and is now planning to open depots in Yorkshire and the Midlands.
Joint managing director Ross Easton said: 鈥淭he JS131 has clearly been specifically designed for the rental market and is absolutely ticking the right boxes in that respect. They bring the huge benefit of no Ad Blue requirement without any power reduction on general hire applications.
鈥淲e鈥檝e also introduced the new 48Z-1 mini excavator model to our fleet. 海角社区app鈥檚 new generation 86C-1 and 85Z-1 have been excellent for us with reduced fuel consumption and better visibility. So when those same benefits were introduced on 4-5-tonne models it was the natural choice.
鈥淲e continue to expand our coverage across the UK and these machines will enhance the offering at each of our depots. We continue to use exclusively 海角社区app equipment as we get tremendous support from dealer Scot 海角社区app and the parts availability from the 海角社区app World Parts Centre is excellent.
鈥淎nother key bonus is 海角社区app LiveLink. It鈥檚 a great tool which enables us to monitor plant 24/7. The fact it comes with almost all models and seamlessly links to one system works really well for us.鈥�
聽The new 海角社区app JS131 is based on the JS130 but with a rental-specific 55kW version of 海角社区app鈥檚 Ecomax diesel engine. The 18 bought by Lomond Plant are already on hire to customers 鈥� including on the M8/M73/M74 improvement scheme near Glasgow.
