The first Hi-Viz dumpers have started rolling off the production line at JCB.

The new range is designed to improve site safety by improving visibility.

The firm said: The seven-tonne payload JCB 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model is designed to directly address growing industry concerns over accidents and serious injuries involving site dumpers on construction sites.”

JCB Site Dumper Managing Director Richard Butler said: “We are delighted that manufacturing is underway in the UK for a brand new range of JCB site dumpers, which will bring new levels of safety to the market through innovation.

“Reaction to the launch of this new range has been exceptional.”

The JCB 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model features a reduced skip height and unique design which delivers huge improvements in visibility, while a longer wheelbase and lower centre of gravity boosts stability.
