competitive digging forces and lifting capacities, which makes for faster work cycles. Hose rupture valves are fitted as standard to the boom and dipper cylinders as are quick fit hydraulics and a hammer/shear service. Specifically for Richard Hall’s typical land clearance applications and like the EC140B before it, the machine has been delivered with a bespoke dozer blade as a factory fit option. The blade features a generous lift height of just over half a metre and a dig depth of 575mm.
The Volvo Care Cab offers a large roomy interior with plenty of leg room and foot space. The excellent all round visibility is en- hanced by pressurized and filtered cab air supplied by a 14 vent, cli- mate control system. An adjustable easy to read LCD colour monitor provides real time information of the machine functions, important diagnostic information and a wide variety of work tool settings. The monitor also doubles as a monitor for the rear view camera. An op- tional heavy duty guard has been
added to the front windscreen and top of the cabin to prevent damage from brash, branches and other site debris.
The new EC140C’s specification has been further enhanced by Richard Hall’s investment in an Engcon rototilt head which is
Richard Hall’s new Volvo EC140C complete with dozer blade and Engcon rototilt clears overgrown heathland on a typical application in Surrey
already proving its worth for the typical applications his company undertakes. The 360º flexibility has transformed the operating characteristics of the machine especially working on its current assignment of heath land regeneration where the removal of trees, tree stumps and brash is taking place. The unit can also be easily transferred to either Richard Hall’s Volvo ECR88 Plus and EC140B excavators.
Richard Hall Ltd offers a large number of services whilst specialising in Land & Site Clearance, Equestrian Facilities, Groundworks, Track & Road Ways and Agricultural Contracting. The company is based in Reading; Berkshire with additional facilities located in Henley on Thames and operates throughout the Thames Valley.

We have been associated
with Volvo from the outset and the machines we operate have proved very reliable. Coupled to that, the after sales service from Volvo’s Woking support centre has been excellent and we have an equally excellent relationship with Volvo’s Financial Services team
