JCB has agreed to an enhanced alliance with Compact Power Equipment Rental to supply their 1,015 and growing rental stores, each located within select Home Depots across the United States and Canada, with 8029 and 8018 model compact excavators. JCB and CPER reached the agreement following a trial of JCB compact excavators by Compact Power Equipment Rental.
JCB recently launched the new line of next generation compact excavators.
“We initiated a test program with JCB excavators in 2014,” said Roger Braswell, president and CEO of Compact Power Equipment Rental. “Following an extensive evaluation, including aftermarket parts and service support, we’ve selected JCB as a preferred supplier. Their team has been exceptionally easy to do business with, approaching our relationship as a true partnership and mutually beneficial growth opportunity.”
As a preferred supplier for CPER, JCB is poised to grow market share and brand awareness of its compact excavator line. “JCB is placing a significant focus on the rental industry,” said Keith Hoskins, director of JCB Compact Products. “Our enhanced relationship with Compact Power Equipment Rental is extremely important to both our business and theirs. We are working very closely to provide the equipment needed with a delivery method conducive to their business model.”
As part of the agreement, JCB compact excavators will be featured at select Home Depot Pro Days events.
“JCB compact excavators are a great fit for our rental fleet,” added Braswell. “Their compact footprint allows our key contractor and homeowner customers the ability to complete a variety of work.”
