Rocket Rentals has agreed a deal with Chepstow Construction Equipment, a reputable dealer and supplier of Kubota equipment, for the addition of 29 new excavators, to bring its Kubota fleet to over 70 machines.

Rocket Rentals is a family run business that offers plant hire in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire, with a focus on buying machines that provide safety, security and ease of operation. The recent deal will see CCE supply Rocket Rentals with numerous models from 2.5 to 8 tonne including U27-4, U55-4, KX057-4 and KX080-4a.

The KX and U excavator series from Kubota are some of the most reliable and durable machines on the market to date, utilizing Kubota’s latest innovative in-house engine technology designed to offer maximum fuel efficiency, minimal noise and vibration, as well as low emission levels to meet current regulations.

Ian Whiting from Chepstow Construction Equipment managed the deal. He commented: “We’ve got a very strong working relationship with Kubota and Rocket Rentals, so it was great to oversee the new deal which bolsters the company’s Kubota fleet to over 70 machines. The performance of the KX and U excavators are second to none and will no doubt add value to the success of the plant hire company.”

Simon Tomblin, Managing Director at Rocket Rentals, added: “The decision to purchase additional Kubota equipment was a result of experiencing an increase in demand for the hire of the excavators. Our aim is to provide our customers with the best machinery possible in the construction industry and we feel confident that the reliability and performance of the Kubota’s allows us to continue offering this service.

“We maintain a great relationship with CCE and it’s being further enhanced by not only the industry leading solutions and aftersales service Kubota UK is providing, but the residual value of the machinery they provide is also a huge benefit to our business.”
