A family-run recycling and landfill company has invested in a mighty new JCB 370X crawler excavator to shift waste on its landfill site.
Purchased by Wiltshire-based Crapper & Sons Landfill Ltd, the brand new JCB 370X has been busy loading heavy clay from a waste cell into an articulated dump truck. It is working at the firm’s 180-acre waste recycling site which handles approximately 120,000 tonnes of waste material per year.
Supplied by JCB dealer Holt JCB, the JCB 370X joins a JCB TM320S wheeled telescopic loader, a JCB 220X and four JCB 437 wheeled loading shovels in Crapper & Sons Landfill Ltd’s fleet. These are joined by a JCB Fastrac 4220 iCON which works on the company’s own 1500-acre beef farm.

Richard added: "The team at Holt JCB are excellent - we’ve built a strong working relationship, and they’re always quick to respond when we need support.”
The JCB 370X is the biggest and most powerful model in the JCB X Series range with the ability to move 4.5 tonnes more material per litre of fuel than competitive models and boasts a Stage V 240kW (322hp) diesel engine delivering 14% more power.
Established in 1985 in Royal Wooton Bassett in Wiltshire, Crapper & Sons Landfill Ltd is a family-owned business specialising in recycling, waste management and the supply of recycled aggregates. The company is passionate about sustainability and diverts around 85% of all its waste material away from landfill.
