The deal means Kubota machines now account for around 95% of GAP’s fleet of mini-excavators.
The latest order shows a shift towards larger excavators – of the 140 machines being delivered, 30 are 6-tonne models and 60 are 8-tonne models.
Ken Stewart, Procurement Manager for GAP, said: “The mini-excavator market is skewing towards larger sizes as customers need to handle bigger projects, and we’ve had to take on increased numbers to meet growing demand.
“We’re more than confident, based on past experience, that the Kubota equipment will be up to the task.
The latest GAP order is the first major deal brokered by Rebecca Bryson, Kubota Construction’s new Key Account Manager.
As part of the order, Kubota will be taking a greater role in supporting GAP to get the best of its fleet.
Bryson said: “We’ll be helping out on Open Days and liaising with depots on training and sales requirements, in order to help GAP get the best out of their Kubota fleet.”
