With 100 JCB e-machines on-hand, this UK rental fleet makes it EZ to go EV

An equipment rental company in the UK is making it easier than ever for construction and groundskeeping crews to test out electric equipment options by adding more than 100 electric machines from JCB to its Leicestershire rental fleet.

As urban environments increasingly tighten the regulations and requirements for the type of machinery operated there, construction companies have begun to experiment with switching from loud diesel machines to cleaner and quieter electric alternatives – and one UK equipment rental company is helping them make that switch by expanding their fleet of over of available JCB e-machines to more than 100 units.

Premier Plant and Tool Hire in Leicestershire has added a number of JCB 19C-1E and 8008E CTS mini excavators to its rental fleet in recent month, along with the brand’s HTD-5E tracked dumpsters, scissor lifts, and other options that help to position them as a leader in sustainable construction solutions.

Premier’s investment specifically targets the rising demand for zero-emission equipment in urban UK neighborhoods, allowing the firm’s customers to secure jobes they simply wouldn’t be able to win without battery power.
