GAP Group, who have used Kubota for many years, has mini-excavators at 59 depots around the UK and 95% of them are from Kubota.
Anti-theft technology is standard on Kubota mini-excavators, bringing peace of mind.
And GAP Group sang the praises for other aspects of the equipment after making the announcement.
Ken Stewart, procurement manager for GAP, said: "Whatever the application, we’ve always found Kubota products to be well-engineered, reliable and hard-wearing - ideal for customers who require construction equipment that can stand up to the rigors of demanding working environments. I've been told many times by colleagues within GAP that the Kubota products don't suffer many servicing issues, which is a huge testament to their quality."

The 2012 batch demonstrates the breadth of Kubota Construction's range, as its composition shows a marked shift from previous orders by GAP. Of the 140 machines being delivered, 30 are 6-tonne models and 60 are 8-tonne models.
As part of the order, Kubota Construction will be taking a greater role in supporting GAP to get the best of its fleet. "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," said Rebecca Bryson, Kubota's new Key Account Manager.
