All six new trucks have been supplied with Volvo’s Blue Service Agreement coupled to a three year six thousand hour driveline warranty. “With the level of sophistication on today’s capital equip- ment it makes sense in utilising the skill sets on offer from the manufacturer. With Volvo’s support centre at Duxford and their nationwide network of customer centres and mobile engineers we have total peace of mind with this latest investment,” continued Mr Munn.

Harlow based C J Pryor (Plant) Ltd has taken delivery of six new Volvo A30F’s bringing their fleet of Volvo articulated haulers to 24.
C J Pryor Volvo A30F’s
C J Pryor (Plant) Ltd is no stranger to running Volvo articulated haulers and can trace this association back over three decades operating 860’s, 861’s A25’s and 30’s. Now six new
A30F’s have joined Pryor’s fleet and have been put to work on several new contracts the company has been awarded. “With our
contracts portfolio expanding we needed to add new haulers to the fleet and opted for the
reliability and product support we have enjoyed in the past from Volvo,” commented Plant Director Mick Munn. “And not least the strong residual values when it’s time to replace them.”

The new A30F hauler from Volvo meets the requirements of Stage IIIB emissions legislation being powered by an electronically controlled, six cylinder 265hp turbo charged Volvo V-ACT diesel engine. This features high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in good fuel efficiency, high performance, quicker engine response and less wear, i.e. long service life. Purpose built by Volvo, the engine is designed to exactly match the Volvo drive train, ensuring the best use of power and torque, even in tough working conditions. It is matched to a torque converter with built in lock-up function and fitted with a fully automatic fast adaptive trans- mission. The rest of the Volvo designed and built powertrain has been reinforced to cope with the higher torque output of the engine. The new F-Series is not only more environmentally friendly, it is also more fuel efficient than the E-Series machines, by up to 4%. This is a remarkable achievement given that the E-Series was the class leader when it came to low fuel consumption.
With a carrying capacity of 28 tonnes and heaped capacity of 18.1m3 the Volvo A30F has a maximum speed of 53kph. The trucks supplied to C J Pryor (Plant) Ltd have the optional cantilever tailgates and side extensions fitted for maximum load retention. The new F-Series trucks are fitted with CareTrack as standard. This is Volvo’s telematics system that enables remote monitoring of a wide range of machine functions (e.g. location, fuel consumption, service reminders etc.) thus optimizing customer operations.
