JCB on a Mission with the PotholePro

Yesterday saw the official launch of JCB’s latest solution to the UK’s crumbling road network. Based on the Hydradig the PotholePro is JCB’s answer to a problem that is costing Britain some £950 million.

JCB on a Mission with the PotholePro

This is not the first time JCB have provided a product to deal with this never-ending problem on our roads, but that was mainly aimed at the 3CX backhoe loader as the carrier, this new creation is a more dedicated 3 in 1 solution built on the Hydradig platform.

Talking about the issue JCB chairman Lord Bamford said, “Potholes really are the scourge of our nation. Our country is quite rightly fixated on this dreadful problem and, as a British manufacturer, I’m fixated on finding a solution.”

Just hours after yesterdays press launch event, my friends and colleagues over at Demolition News, Diggers and Dozers and Content with Media, Mark Anthony and Peter Haddock, launched a live show to talk about the innovative new product, with product specialists from JCB and highly respected industry journalist Mike Woof of World Highways, and you can catch up with a recorded live version of that show below.
