Builders merchant group Travis Perkins has given JCB a huge order for 505 excavators.
The 371 mini excavators and 134 micro excavators will hugely expand Travis Perkins’ fleet hire capacity.
All machines were made at JCB’s factory in Cheadle.
JCB UK and Ireland sales director Yvette Henshall-Bell said: “We are delighted to win this repeat business, particularly as it was secured in the face of fierce competition from other major suppliers in our industry.”
