The firm, based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, has switched to JCB for the new 150X model which is also joined by a new 22-tonne JCB 220X in the fleet.
Supplied by dealer Scot JCB, the machines have been put to work on a range of industrial demolition projects and city centre regeneration projects across Scotland.
Both have been supplied to full demolition specification including cab frames and cab guards and full machine protection. The machines also feature heavy-duty dippers and side buffers and have been specified with hydraulic grabs purpose-built for demolition applications.
JCB X SERIES MODELS BREAKING NEW GROUND IN SCOTLAND
Chamic Industrial Services Ltd has bought the first demolition specification JCB 150X model in Scotland.
We chose JCB because of the performance of the latest X Series models. The team at Scot JCB are also fantastic and always give us 120% commitment. The machines are performing very well, the operators are very happy and the fuel consumption is proving excellent.

Launched this year, the new JCB 150X shares many of the same quality materials and proven components as its highly acclaimed 20-tonne stablemate. Both benefit from a proven undercarriage with fully welded X frame construction, low in-cab noise of 67dB(A) and spacious JCB Command Plus cab.
The new JCB X Series range is designed to be more productive, durable, quieter, more comfortable and easier to use than its predecessors. These excavators boast large diameter hydraulic pipes and hoses and an innovative hydraulic regeneration system that recycles oil across the cylinders. Auto-stop and Auto-idle on the JCB’s EcoMAX Tier 4 Final / Stage IV engine provide fuel saving of up to 5%.
