Stockport-based Arnold Plant Hire, which specialises in waste and recycling machinery, has taken delivery of six JCB 3TS-8W Teleskid models from dealer Gunn JCB.

The new machines are specified for the waste and recycling sector with factory-fitted guarding and 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 among its fleet of more than 500 machines.

Arnold Plant Hire director Stuart Hunter said: “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 other models in its class. A side-entry cab and single-arm Powerboom provide enhanced operator safety and visibility, which are key requirements for waste environments.

The Teleskid is powered by a 55kW Stage V JCB DieselMax engine. Features include a 7-inch touchscreen display, rear-view camera, electro-hydraulic bucket levelling and joystick customisation via the MyChoice system.
