Arnold Plant Hire has become the first UK rental company to invest in a fleet of JCB Teleskid machines – taking delivery of six 3TS-8W models in a landmark deal.
Supplied by Gunn JCB, the new machines are fully specified for the waste and recycling sector with factory-fitted guarding and heavy-duty solid tyres. The investment builds on the Stockport-based firm’s long-standing relationship with JCB, which includes operating the UK’s largest fleet of JCB Teletruks.
Arnold Plant Hire commented, “We are delighted to add this innovative product to our existing range. The JCB Teleskid offers our customers the world’s safest and most versatile skid steer loader and makes a strong addition to our specialist machinery portfolio.”
The JCB Teleskid 3TS-8W is the only skid steer on the market with a telescopic boom, offering greater lift height, forward reach and dig depth than any other model in its class. A side-entry cab and single-arm Powerboom provide enhanced operator safety and visibility – key features for demanding waste environments.
Powered by a 55kW Stage V JCB DieselMAX engine, the Teleskid delivers improved performance and reduced fuel use. An upgraded cab includes a 7” touchscreen display, rear-view camera, electro-hydraulic bucket levelling and joystick customisation via the MyChoice system.
Arnold Plant Hire operates a fleet of more than 500 machines and has over 30 years’ experience supplying equipment to the waste and recycling industry. The new Teleskids are now available for hire across the UK.
