Premium Electric & Rotating Models
JCB Access Platforms
For over 75 years, JCB has pioneered engineering excellence, and at Gunn JCB, we’re proud to bring this legacy to your next project.
Our team understands British businesses’ unique challenges – whether they’re a construction firm navigating tight urban sites, a farmer managing heavy loads, or a fleet manager prioritising cost efficiency. JCB Access Platforms are designed to tackle these challenges head-on.
In an industry where downtime costs £1,000 per hour on average (Construction News, 2023), choosing equipment that combines reliability, innovation, and local support is non-negotiable.
This guide explores how JCB’s electric scissor lifts, rotating telehandlers, and EN280-certified platforms deliver unmatched value, backed by Gunn JCB’s nationwide dealer network.
Let’s dive into why leading UK companies trust JCB and how your business can benefit from it.
