compact excavators as replacements and additions to its compact
excavator fleet together with a brace of
DD24 tandem rollers THE VOICE PAGE 40
The new additions to Shorts plant hire fleet replace a proportion of five year old Volvo EC15B and EC25B’s which according to Shorts’ plant depot manager Jason Southam have served the company well and kept their integrity as far as reliability and overall product quality are concerned. “We felt the time was right to refresh our fleet of 1.5 and 3 tonne excavators and settled on the Volvo offering once again thanks to the outstanding service the outgoing machines have given us coupled to a competitive package and the residual values,” he said. “These new machines are both a replacement and an increment to our fleet in order to satisfy current and future demands,” he continued.
The Volvo 1.8 tonne EC18C compact excavator was selected for the additional benefits it brings to the Shorts Group when hiring to end users – specifically the two speed automatic travel motors, load sensing hydraulics and hydraulically extendable undercarriage. The relatively new EC27C replaces the previous EC25 and EC30 models and is powered by a Volvo 1.6 litre low emission Tier III
