Wheel Loaders

Caterpillar, Volvo, Liebherr and JCB among others battle for supremacy in the wheel loader market sector. Equally at home in a quarry, waste management facility, recycling yard or mine, wheel loaders are fast, powerful and are the ideal partner for a variety of haulers as you will see in the videos from www.diggersanddozers.com.

Brief. A50 project is being carried out by Carillion plc and has been commissioned by Staffordshire County Council. JC Balls & Sons, a big user of JCB kit, is the contractor brought in by Carillion. To my knowledge it is predominantly JS excavators on site + a JCB 714 ADT. There is competitorÕs kit too but weÕd obviously like to focus on the JCB plant wherever possible!

Nigel has asked for 'a full site report which also focuses on the JCB equipment. To include interviews with JC Balls re the job from an earthmoving perspective and their operators on how they like using particular machines.Õ HeÕd also like to highlight the fact the project is pretty much next door to JCB Heavy Products where these machines were built.

I have also arranged for you to speak with Carillion re the scope of the project itself then I understand they will hand you over to JC Balls for the plant element.

Project Overview from Staffordshire.gov.uk:

A50 Growth Corridor - Uttoxeter

The A50 Growth Corridor projects are part of a multi-million pound Government investment. The aim is to:

cut congestion
address safety concerns
support local businesses
create more jobs and opportunities for Staffordshire people

Highways England manages the A50 trunk road. The Government announced proposals to improve the A50 around Uttoxeter. This is part of the National Infrastructure Plan. It was announced in the Autumn Statement in December 2013.

The Government then incorporated this into The Road Investment Strategy (2014) and Delivery Plan. These are underpinned in law by the Infrastructure Act 2015. Highways England has appointed us to be its delivery partner for the projects.
