The 1.5t excavators will be the first vehicles to carry Ardent’s new brand, and will be available at Ardent depots across the UK.
Ardent chief executive Steve Corcoran, said: “We’re really excited by our first bulk delivery of 2016.
“This order is just part of our £100m investment as we improve and extend our fleet, and there is plenty more to come in the next few months.”
The new machines will continue to add to Ardent’s excavator fleet which Corcoran aims to grow to be one of the largest in the UK.
