The Malcolm Group has invested in a pair of JCB 145XR reduced tailswing excavators.
The 145XR is the latest addition to the JCB X Series range and is designed to deliver the same performance as the conventional 140X, in a compact design with a 27% shorter tailswing.
Supplied by Scot JCB, the pair of tracked excavators join a range of JCB equipment in Malcolm’s extensive fleet including excavators, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, compaction rollers, site dumpers, forklifts and scissor lifts.
Chief executive Andrew Malcolm said: "The relationship we’ve built with Scot JCB is a key factor as to why we continue to choose JCB machines. Their reliable back up and their understanding of our operational needs set JCB apart from the competition.
“Our JCB machines are used year-round for a variety of applications including construction, quarrying, recycling and general site maintenance. We chose the JCB 145XR for its zero tailswing capability, which allows safe and efficient operation in confined spaces. The performance has been excellent. Our operators describe it as a very comfortable machine with plenty of power. The zero tailswing design is particularly valued for its ability to work in restricted areas safely.”
