Decked in striking white ECL livery, the new 5.7-tonne conventional tailswing models were selected following a successful trial and evaluation period last year. The 13-tonne models join many proven JCB JS130 machines in the ECL fleet. ECL Civil Engineering Ltd Director, Steve Tysoe said: “We choose JCB for the full solution on offer – the quality of the machines, and warranty and finance options available and the longstanding relationship and service contracts we hold with Watling JCB. It’s a brand we can trust. “We evaluated the 57C-1 on site before making such a significant investment and were very impressed with the machine. It’s a high performance, low maintenance machine that’s excellent for our operators.” The JCB 57C-1midi excavators incorporate an improved operator’s cab using the same structure as the larger 10-tonne machines in the JCB line-up. The cab is 18% more spacious and offers up to 11% more visibility, improving both comfort and site safety. Other key features include 500-hour greasing intervals, 9% boost to bucket tearout and 5% additional dump height. ECL Civil Engineering Ltd was founded in 1993 and has grown into a major groundworks contractor working with the UK’s leading housebuilders on major new build developments across central England. The company boasts a large fleet of construction equipment including JCB excavators ranging from 6 – 30 tonnes, site dumpers from 3-9 tonnes, Loadall telescopic handlers, compact tracked loaders and compaction equipment.
