Jcb Skid Steer Loaders Awarded For Highest Retained Value

Thursday, February 07th , 2019

JCB skid steer loaders, built at the company’s North American headquarters in Pooler, have received a 2019 EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award.  The award recognizes JCB machines for commanding higher resale values than competing skid steers after five years of ownership.

Garrett Schemmel, vice president at EquipmentWatch, explained that the annual awards help buyers understand the best performing machines.

“The program is also designed to recognize manufacturers for building these higher quality, durable, and cost-friendly machines that power our industry,” said Schemmel.
Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America, credited the company’s 600-strong, Pooler-based workforce for the recognition.

“It takes skilled and dedicated people to build and support construction machines that excel on tough construction projects and in harsh conditions, and then command high resale values. This award is testimony not just to the JCB team’s expertise, but to the care and attention they put into every skid steer that rolls off the Pooler production line,” said Fox-Marrs.

JCB offers four models of skid steer loaders to customers in the U.S. and Canada, with rated operating capacities from 2,112 lb to 3,296 lb. All JCB skid steers feature the iconic, single-arm JCB Powerboom™ and side-door entry, and offer 60 percent better visibility and up to 46 percent more operator room than conventional twin-arm machines. Additionally, JCB skid steers are equipped with the proven 74 hp engines that comply with federal emissions regulations yet eliminate the need for exhaust treatments required by other brands.

Teleskid 3TS 8WJCB pioneered the single arm skid steer with side-door entry in 1993. The unique design eliminates the need for the operator to climb over (or under) dangerous attachments to enter the machine. In 2017, the company launched the 3TS-8W Teleskid, the world’s only skid steer loader with a telescopic boom, allowing it to lift higher, reach further and dig deeper than any skid steer loader on the market.
