Arnold Plant Hire has added nearly 40 new JCB machines to the extensive fleet of machinery that it offers to the waste and recycling sectors.

JCB dealer, Gunn JCB, will supply Arnold Plant Hire with JCB 560-80 Wastemaster Loadalls; JCB 541-70 Loadalls; JCB JS20MH wheeled material handlers; and, a JCB JS145 14-tonne tracked excavator.

The JCB 560-80 Wastemaster Loadall is the highest capacity machine in the JCB Loadall range and offers a 6,000kg of lifting capacity. Meanwhile, the 541-70 Loadall telehandler is a compact workhorse offering unrivalled operator comfort and ease of use. Both machines have been designed to meet the needs of rental companies and contractors alike.

In addition, the JCB JS20MH wheeled material handlers and the JS145 tracked excavator supplied are both equipped with a host of efficiency, performance, comfort and safety innovations that deliver countless everyday benefits - including great visibility, low running costs and more uptime.

Arnold Plant Hire operates from two locations - in Stockport and Cannock ' and the new equipment means that the company now owns in excess of 600 machines that it supplies on long- and short-term hire packages to clients operating across a number of diverse industry sectors. Some 90 per cent of the Arnold Plant fleet are JCBs.

Philip Oldham, managing director of Arnold Plant Hire, said: ‘With any JCB machine residual values are strong and the products are always in demand and therefore represent outstanding value.'

He added: ‘Arnold Plant Hire has been hiring JCB's Wastemaster machines to the waste and recycling industry for more than 10 years. We have always enjoyed a good relationship with JCB and value the excellent nationwide after-sales support that the company offers through its network of dealers.'
