The British firm will bring its world record breaking Dieselmax car, which set a new diesel land speed record of 350.092mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, USA in 2006 - powered by two mighty JCB engines. A Williams Martini Racing wrapped 3CX Compact backhoe loader will also be present which was designed in conjunction with the iconic British F1 Team and produced in its race bays. The innovative machine is capable of delivering big machine performance for the most confined job sites.
