GORDON BOW PLANT HIRE INVESTS IN £1 MILLION JCB FLEET DEAL

Gordan Bow

A Scottish plant hirer has invested in a fleet of JCB machines worth more than £1 million.

Purchased by Broxburn, West Lothian-based Gordon Bow Plant Hire Ltd, the order includes JCB 220X and 140X tracked excavators and JCB Loadalls including the flagship, 20-metre, 540-200 model. The latest arrivals join an impressive fleet which already includes over 60 JCB machines.

Supplied by dealer Scot JCB, the machines will be put to work on new housebuilding, infrastructure, forestry and agricultural projects across Scotland for a range of major customers which Gordon Bow Plant Hire serves on a self-drive or operated basis.

We chose JCB for this order as we have a long history over the years with the products that it manufactures and thanks to the support and back-up that our dealer Scot JCB provides throughout Scotland. We have identified that they are the machines that work best for our business and customers alike.
