September 2014

The Holt Headliner hat a busy, and mostly, sunny summer it is proving to be!

In our constant and unrelenting effort to improve the service we offer we now have over 40 engineers, as well as new parts & service team members across our 6 depots.

This adding strength to our experienced support staff, means we are available to attend your parts supply, repairs or service requests quicker than ever before. We now have a larger team to respond to any emergency 24/7 which I know has

proven to be invaluable to those customers that operate 7 days a week.

I would also like to make a special mention to Richard Lilly, who has now joined us as Blandford Forum depot manager.

BRISTOL PORT COMPANY CLOSE THE DEAL ON TWO BRAND NEW 457s Holt JCB is very happy to announce that Bristol Port Company are now the proud owners of two 457 Wheeled Loading Shovels. Last month, Holt JCB’s Managing Director, Andrew Shields went to hand over the machines to Bristol Port Company in person, after Terry Bishop, Holt JCB Territory Manager for Wiltshire, Somerset & Bristol, sold the powerful machines.

The 457s will be working on projects at the Animal feedstuffs shed at the docks and on the full range of bulk products at Avonmouth. These productive machines were the perfect choice for the job at hand.

If you want to know more on our product range, just email enquiries@holtjcb.co.uk.

ESMOR DAVIES COMPLETES CHARITY JOURNEY FROM JOHN O’GROATES TO LANDS END IN A JCB DIGGER! Well done to Esmor Davies, who has driven nearly 2,000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End in a JCB digger, to raise money for visual impairment charities across the United Kingdom.

Starting out on 26th July 2014, the route took Esmor from Scotland, with a detour to the JCB factory in Uttoxeter, entering Holt JCB’s patch when he drove in to Cardiff on 15th August 2014.

He then drove down through South Wales, in to the West Country and through Cornwall to the finish line at Land’s End on 30th August 2014.

Esmor is raising money for Blind Veterans UK and for Guide Dog Training School, amongst other visual impairment charities.

You can support the cause by donating to Esmor’s JCB Marathon challenge at www.esmorsjcbmarathon.com.

TWENTY YEARS AT HOLT JCB! Holt JCB wish to make a special thank you and congratulations to two reliable and long serving members of staff. Both Mark Sydenham and Nicola Allen have both been working for Holt JCB for twenty years.

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE The JCB LT9 is a compact, dedicated road towable lighting tower providing mobile lighting power quickly and easily. Featuring a 9m hydraulically activated mast, which can rotate 360° to ensure optimum light positioning. It supports 4 metal halide spotlights of 1000 watts and 90,000 lumens per spotlight.

With in-built safety at its core, the tower mast cannot be raised unless the handbrake is on and if the handbrake is released the mast will automatically lower to the travel position. It also has four stabilisers to ensure stability on all terrains.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY! Here we see the iconic image of a 1980’s JCB 817 excavator, trenching for a new pipeline.

Decades later...

JCB’s new JS220 is a culmination of 48 years of tracked excavator expertise, offering uncompromised performance and productivity.

Fitted with the new award-winning EcoMAX T4i/3B engine, which provides a fuel saving of up to 12%, the machine features brand new high-strength

dippers and high-strength booms, allowing for heavy lifting without compromise. The JS220 creates a quieter working environment, both inside and out. This means that you can use the machine in any location, at any time, without disturbance.

Because it doesn’t require bulky after-treatment like DPF or SCR, the new compact EcoMAX T4i engine can be housed under an innovative low-level bonnet, providing excellent rearward visibility.

For a full specification list, please visit www.holtjcb.co.uk or for more details contact your local salesman.
