Premier Grab Away Expands Fleet with New JCB 140X Excavator to Strengthen Grab Hire Services in the North East

Premier Grab Away, a leading provider of grab hire and groundwork services in the North East, has expanded its fleet with the addition of the JCB 140X excavator — a powerful and versatile machine designed to boost efficiency, safety and performance across a range of site operations.

The investment reinforces Premier Grab Away’s commitment to providing reliable, high-quality grab hire in the North East, supporting both commercial and domestic projects with advanced equipment and expert service.

Enhancing Performance and Productivity

The JCB 140X is engineered for strength and precision. With an engine output of up to 110 kW and an optimised hydraulic system, it delivers fast digging cycles and powerful breakout performance.

Its superior mobility and high travel speed make it ideal for busy sites, allowing Premier Grab Away’s team to complete more work in less time — improving turnaround and reducing operational downtime.

Comfort and Safety for Operators

Operator performance is central to Premier Grab Away’s operations. The JCB 140X cab offers a comfortable, climate-controlled workspace with ergonomic seating and intuitive controls that reduce fatigue and improve accuracy.

Built-in safety systems and excellent visibility ensure secure operation, aligning with Premier Grab Away’s high safety and compliance standards across all grab hire and groundwork projects in the North East.

Versatility Across Applications

The new excavator’s adaptability is another major advantage. With support for a wide range of attachments — from hydraulic breakers and rippers to grading blades and buckets — the 140X can easily switch between digging, trenching, site clearance and lifting tasks. This flexibility enhances fleet utilisation and helps Premier Grab Away deliver a broader range of services without deploying multiple machines.
