GAP ADDS NEW DIVISION
GAP Group is continuing to expand by establishing Trenching & Shoring as a new specialist division. This activity was previously a sub-division within the company’s now
10-year-old Non-Mechanical division. However, in April 2018, GAP purchased MV Trench Support, a Scottish-based trenching and shoring company, which has extended its product fleet and brought additional knowledge and experience in this sector. Trenching & Shoring becomes GAP’s ninth specialist division, joining
Plant, Tools, Non-Mech, Lifting & TIC, Survey & Safety, Welfare, Events and Vehicle Hire. On top of this, GAP is the sole distributor of EZE Shoring equipment in the
UK, which is designed to be simple, safe and easy to use. The products are made up of only five different components without pins, clips, slings, pumps or hydraulics.

Arnold Plant goes electric with JCB
Stockport-based Arnold Plant Hire has added a JCB 19C-1E electric mini excavator to its fleet. The machine has already been used on local council cemetery projects because of its quiet operation and zero emissions at point of use. Arnold Plant MD, Philip Oldham, said, “We are
committed to investing in and supporting new technology within our industry. The government has its own targets for zero emissions, so we want to play our part by offering products that help to achieve these goals.” Thirty years ago, Arnold Plant became the first hirer to
take a fleet delivery of JCB’s 801, which it was recently able to repurchase. Pictured, from left, are the company’s founder Robin Arnold, Robert Winter, MD JCB Compact Products, and Philip Oldham.
