the machine delivers the performance in the range of the previous Volvo EC30 – yet with a compact design reminiscent of the smaller EC25.
All twenty four machines have been supplied with the Cesar P1 identification system and Enigma skyline P2 immobiliser package to maximise the safe guarding against theft and to help bring down the cost of insurance premiums for end users. They follow two Volvo DD24 tandem rollers that were supplied to Shorts Group last October.
The two DD24 tandem rollers were chosen following a successful evaluation of the machine and a competitive package on offer from Volvo and are a departure from the normal brand of rollers in Shorts’ fleet. “We were more than satisfied that the attention to detail in the design of the Volvo DD24 and the overall build quality were good enough reasons to change to a new product in our fleet,” continued Jason Southam.
The quality and reliability of the outgoing models
prompted
Shorts Group to opt for Volvo once again

The Volvo DD24 double drum compactor weighs in at 2.6 tonnes and features a drum width of 1.2 metres. The drums feature dual frequencies operating at either 55Hz or 67Hz for optimal impact and delivering nominal amplitude of .53cm. A 260 litre pressurized water feed system is directed via four nozzles per drum working in conjunction with spring loaded, self adjusting urethane wipers. The DD24 affords excellent visibility to the drum edges forward and backward for the machine operator. The machined drum surface with radiused and chamfered edges produce a professional quality finish on each job and a closed loop hydrostatic drive system provides seamless direction changes and a maximum speed of up to 10kph.

The attention to detail and build quality were good enough reason for Shorts Group Ltd to opt for the Volvo DD24

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
