To qualify for the scheme each machine must be less than four years old and have completed a maximum of 1 500 hours per year for excavators and wheeled loaders.

JCB has launched JCB Select, a brand new scheme said to offer buyers of JCB used equipment complete peace of mind when purchasing pre-owned machines.

JCB Select, an industry-recognised Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) scheme, is available for all JCB backhoe loaders, wheeled excavators, tracked excavators between the JS115 and the JS370, along with wheeled loading shovels from the 411 to the 457.

To qualify for the scheme each machine must be less than four years old and have completed less than 1 000 hours/year in the case of backhoes and telehandlers, or a maximum of 1 500 hours/year for excavators and wheeled loaders

Machines offered for sale by JCB dealers under the JCB Select scheme will come with a six month warranty and three months Premier Cover comprehensive warranty cover.

JCB Select machines have verified service histories and are subject to an exhaustive inspection covering more than 100 different individual points – a checklist which is designed by JCB and undertaken by JCB dealer engineers. Equipment is upgraded with the latest operating software where available and each machine comes with a six-month warranty for ultimate peace of mind.

JCB Finance is available on all JCB Select approved used machines worldwide, offering some of the most competitive deals and rates available, the UK OEM says.

“JCB Select offers customers a premium pre-owned machine with the assurance of JCB certification and the back-up of the world’s leading dealer network. JCB Select customers have the complete confidence that their machine has been fully and professionally inspected by qualified dealer engineers and is ready to work hard from the minute it is handed over,” says David Wileman, global used equipment manager at JCB.
