Buy or hire the 6ST-2S5 Swivel if...
Suits groundworkers who need to tip to the side or rear without turning the whole machine, useful in trenches or narrow access where reversing to line up a straight-tip skip is awkward. The 6 tonne capacity sits in the middle of JCB's swivel dumper range.

Buy or hire the EZ36 if...
A midi excavator for groundworks, utilities and landscaping contractors. At 3.7 tonnes it arrives on a lorry rather than behind a car. It digs to 3,497 mm. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
