Director Ken Dillon said: "JCB telehandlers are the best machines for our customers' needs and retain excellent resale values, so they are the perfect machines for us. The lift performance and visibility on the new Hi Viz machines is excellent and they are already busy on projects for our customers."
Based in Dublin, the new delivery joins Diggers Direct's fleet that includes telehandlers, excavators, loaders and rollers.
