Dubai-based Rental Solutions & Services (RSS) has bought more than 300 JCB generators in a deal worth more than $11 million.

JCB Power Products said the order is the biggest yet for its new range of RS generators designed and manufactured in the UK for the global rental sector.

The first five units have already been pressed into service in Oman supported by JCB dealer Muscat Overseas Group. They are being used by a global oil and gas company which needed urgent standby power to support their operations.

RSS operations director Garry McMahon said: “We have a choice of generator suppliers in the Middle East, but we chose JCB Power Products as its range is the best rental selection we have seen.”

JCB Power Products managing director Jonathan Garnham expressed delight at winning its biggest export order of the year from one of the Middle East’s biggest providers of standby power.

“JCB Power Products launched its RS rental range just a year ago and it is proving extremely successful in a very competitive global market where JCB provides unrivalled service and support,” he noted.

RSS offers rental generators across the Middle East, providing power for construction sites, large infrastructure developments, and petrochemical facilities. The company was established in 2007 as a global provider of rental power, temporary cooling and mobile water solutions.
