Westcon JCB also will sell and service two new JCB machines that were launched at ConExpo 2017: the Teleskid, the first skid steer with a telescopic boom, and the Hydradig wheeled excavator/tool carrier. Used equipment acquired via trade-ins and rental fleet sales also available.

“With a reputation for outstanding customer service and integrity, Westcon Equipment is the ideal partner to help JCB grow its market share throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba,” says Christian Baillie, JCB North America vice president of construction equipment dealer sales. “Since entering the equipment sales and rental market more than a decade ago, Westcon has continued to grow and develop a loyal customer base.”
