Blackwood Plant Hire has cemented a 20-year relationship with dealer Scot JCB by placing orders 51 machines this year.

The new JCB additions include:

• 17 mini and midi excavators
• 14 tracked excavators, including two of the latest 370X model
• four wheeled excavators
• five site dumpers
• four tandem rollers
• three telehandlers
• one backhoe loader.

Blackwood managing director Paul McCormack explained the choice of JCB: “It comes down to reliability, ease of getting parts, operator comfort, and support. The machines are simple to operate, comfortable, and our drivers love the X Series cab design.”

Blackwood’s fleet is now spread across Scotland, with a major expansion in the north of Scotland. McCormack said around three-quarters of the new machines have gone straight into operation in the north of the country.
