JCB has struck a deal with commercial van, bus and truck supplier Dawsongroup for six of its revolutionary pothole fixing machines to help tackle Britain’s backlog of road repairs.
JCB, which has operations in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Wales, has developed machinery which can repair a pothole in less than eight minutes and at half the cost of current solutions. Each machine can repair up to 250 sqm a day - equivalent to 700 potholes a month.
Dawsongroup’s municipal machinery division emc is investing in the Pothole Pro machines, which, JCB says, “fix potholes permanently, first time, without the need for labour intensive repair methods or additional expensive machinery”.
