Ground Clearance/Outdoor Power A busy time for outdoor specialists.
September is an important month for those manufacturers involved in outdoor equipment with two trade shows to attend – IOG Saltex which is held at The Royal Windsor Racecourse from 6 - 8 September, followed by Glee at the NEC in Birmingham from 19 – 21 September. Saltex is the UK’s number one open management event and as such is the place to see the latest in grounds care including mini excavators, dumpers and ground clearance equipment. Open space management professionals and contractors attend the show, from groundsmen and greenkeepers through to play officers, architects, designers and surveyors as well as local authority and outdoor leisure facility managers. Glee is the UK’s most comprehensive trade show for the garden, landscaping, leisure and pet industries. Glee will have an area dedicated to New Products where the visitor will be able to see the latest innovations in outdoor power tools and ground clearance. See more information on these shows in the Preview section of this magazine.
First Volvo BL71B goes to G D’Amore Ltd The first of the redesigned BL71B backhoe loaders from Volvo Construction Equipment has gone to general building and groundworks contractor G D’Amore Ltd of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
The new BL71B is the first backhoe loader to be acquired by Mr D’Amore although he is no stranger to operating Volvo equipment. “ Sporting a new curvier, stylized look, as well as a roomier CareCab, the BL71B ‘Prestige’ features servo controls and powershift transmission. It has an operating weight of 9.8 tonnes and is powered by a Volvo 5 litre Tier III low emission engine developing 94 nett h.p. The torque converter on the machine is one of the largest in the industry and has excellent peak torque and torque rise and this couple to the powershift transmission maintains progressive traction - even on steep gradients. A differential lock on the rear axle is engaged via a foot switch on the side of the brake pedal and provides maximum rear wheel grip over slippery surfaces. Both the loader and excavator benefit from flow sharing hydraulics that enable multi-functioning for efficient and smooth operation thanks to load sensing hydraulics that constantly adapt to the needs of the job in hand. With oil delivery that matches the required force, there is always the speed and power required for all hydraulic functions.
In applications such as load and carry, where speed is important, the system efficiently delivers the required flow. The redesigned Volvo CareCab on the BL71B offers 15% more space over its predecessor Volvo Construction Equipment Division markets wheeled loaders, articulated haulers, hydraulic excavators, graders, Volvo Utility Equipment and Volvo Road Equipment products in the U.K. There are eight strategically placed customer support centres and a network of utility equipment dealers to ensure high quality customer support is maintained throughout the country.
