Select Strengthens Fleet with £5 Million JCB Investment

The investment, supplied through long-standing partner Greenshields JCB, includes JCB 370X tracked excavators, JCB 245XR reduced tailswing excavators, JCB 145XR reduced tailswing excavators, 9T dual-drive site dumpers and JCB Loadall telescopic handlers.

The new machines will support a broad range of construction applications across our project portfolio, further enhancing the business's ability to deliver safe, productive and efficient solutions on some of the UK's most significant developments. The investment reflects our ongoing focus on maintaining a modern, reliable fleet that helps customers achieve the highest standards of performance on site.

Warren Wilkinson, Business Stream Leader, Plant and Power Solutions at Select Plant Hire, said: "Investing in our fleet is critical to ensuring we can continue to support our current clients and expand our pipeline with modern, reliable and high-performing plant. This order reflects our confidence in the pipeline ahead and the strength of our long-standing relationship with JCB and Greenshields JCB. Their product quality, innovation and service support give us the confidence to keep investing in equipment that delivers for our projects and customers."

The investment highlights the strength of Select's long-standing partnership with both JCB and Greenshields JCB, built on a shared commitment to quality, innovation and operational excellence.

JCB Global Major Accounts MD Steve Fox said: "This is a fantastic order and a strong reflection of the partnership we have built together. Ultimately, it comes down to two things: the quality of JCB's machines and the strength of our after sales support.

"Select Plant Hire places exceptional demands on its equipment, and JCB machines are built to deliver the performance, reliability and durability required on major construction projects. Just as importantly, we work closely with the Select team to ensure they have the right machines, backed by the right support, to maximise value throughout their working life.

"This £5 million investment represents a significant vote of confidence in JCB and underlines the strength of our relationship with Select Plant Hire. We look forward to continuing to support them as they deliver some of the UK's most important construction and infrastructure projects."

The latest fleet additions include JCB's X Series excavators, selected for their productivity, operator comfort, fuel efficiency and durability. Together with the site dumpers and Loadall telescopic handlers, the new equipment will provide the versatility required to support complex construction and infrastructure projects across the UK.

This latest investment marks another milestone in Select Plant Hire's ongoing fleet development strategy and demonstrates the company's continued commitment to providing industry-leading plant solutions that support the successful delivery of major projects nationwide.
