Site Dumper Order Sees Firm’s JCB Investment Pass £4.5 Million

Rocket Rentals has taken delivery of 40 new JCB site dumpers in a £1.5 million deal that takes the company’s total investment in JCB equipment this year to more than £4.5 million.

Supplied by Holt JCB, the latest order follows a major fleet expansion earlier in 2026, which included 55 new JCB excavators, Loadall telescopic handlers and compaction rollers.

The new dumper fleet comprises JCB 3T-2, 6T-2 and 9T-2 models - in both cabbed and non-cabbed configurations – and is set to work on a wide range of projects across the construction, industrial and civil engineering sectors.

“We’ve been running JCB site dumpers for a number of years and with the upturn in work towards the end of last year and continuing into 2026, we decided to further strengthen the fleet with more machines. The reliability and quality of the products made the decision straightforward for us. The JCB site dumpers are easy to use, the safety systems are excellent and we’ve added additional cameras across the fleet too. On the cabbed machines we really value features like air conditioning as standard while the integration with JCB LiveLink is a tremendous help in managing the fleet. We’re also proud to buy British and with support from Holt JCB, alongside JCB Finance and JCB Insurance, it gives us a complete one-stop-shop for equipment and support.”
