A JCB Loadall telescopic handler has been playing a leading role in Hollywood, ensuring the most glittering event in the global showbiz calendar all runs to plan.

The handler was central to the preparations for this week's Academy Awards, positioning the giant Oscar statues at the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.

Organisers used a JCB 512-56 Loadall to position the 24 ft. (7 m) statues at the entrance.

The machine is owned by Alliance Rental Solutions of Valencia, California, which specialises in providing equipment to the studio industry in Los Angeles.

Robert Lara, sales manager for JCB of Southern California, says Alliance Rental Solutions is one of his most important customers. "It's fantastic to see their JCB Loadall playing such a high-profile role in the preparations for this year's Academy Awards."
