Midlands-based JCB has won its biggest ever order for its Teletruk model with a deal for 22 machines from a recycling company.
The fleet has been bought by Sims Metal from Gunn JCB Industrial in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent.
The company is part of the Sims Group and the three-and-a-half-tonne capacity Teletruk 35D machines have been put to work at breakers&apos; yards.
A JCB spokesman said: "We are delighted to have won such a prestigious order from an internationally renowned company and pleased that JCB machines are working at the forefront of this environmentally- friendly method of dealing with scrap vehicles."
