New Venture St Richard Williams Opens An Opportunity For
A Volvo Compact Loader A new Volvo L25F wheeled loader has been supplied to Richard Williams (Deganwy) Ltd. Well established builders merchants with establishments located at Llandudno Junction and Ruthin has added a new venture to the latter facility supplying sand and ballast products in both bulk and bag which required the services of a small loading shovel. Having researched the market looking at a variety of different models the Company opted for a purpose made compact loading shovel and chose an L25F from Volvo Construction Equipment. The new loading shovel was subsequently supplied complete with standard 0.85m3 bucket, a set of pallet
forks and a bespoke Strimech one tonne bag filling bucket by Volvo CE’s utility dealer Seddons Engineering. The 4.8 tonne L25F is powered by a Volvo 3.6 litre oil/air cooled engine
developing 58.6hp coupled to a fully hydrostatic transmission providing a maximum torque of 190Nm at just 1700rpm. The machine has two speed ranges with a maximum top speed of 20kph - more than adequate for its duties around the yard at Ruthin. The machine has a full turn tipping load of 3800kg and a forward reach of 1.47 metres and is ideally matched to the size of the bins holding a variety of sand and ballast product. The engine, transmission and hydraulic pumps are mounted transversely at the rear of the machine which acts as a ‘live’ counterweight and all components for servicing and maintenance are easily accessed. The new L25F is Richard William’s second Volvo machine which follows an
L30B delivered to the company’s Llandudno Junction site six years ago. Reply No. 16
