Boels has bought a range of micro and mini excavators, telescopic handlers and rough terrain forklift trucks.
This is Boels’ third major order with JCB in the past three years and, on completion of delivery of this shipment in March 2014, Boels will have 1,000 JCB machines in its fleet.
CEO Pierre Boels said: “Performance and efficiency were key factors in our decision to purchase the JCB machines. In particular, the fuel savings offered by the Ecomax-powered products are particularly important, as being environmentally responsible is essential to our business.”
All the machines are also being supplied with JCB’s LiveLink telematics system which monitors service requirements and protects them from theft.
Boels has more than 300 outlets and operates from more than 1,800 rental locations in hardware stores in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia and Poland.
