we are particularly
impressed with the new EC17Cs we’ve just purchased
Loaded and ready to go to work, one of TVE Hire & Sales’ new Volvo EC1
financial deal from Volvo has kept us on board with the product.” And joining TVE’s hire
fleet are five EC17C compact excavators supplied complete with canopies, a full set of buckets and e-touch immobiliser systems, bringing their excavator fleet up to twenty six units. “Besides that they stand out against the crowd in terms of their aesthetics and striking yellow and grey livery and so far we are particularly impressed with the new EC17Cs we’ve just purchased,” he continued.
The Volvo EC17C is one of four machines ranging between 1.5 and 2.0 tonnes and is a direct replacement for the EC15B XT model. Powered by a 12.3 Kw (16.8hp) engine, the machine features automatic two speed travel and is available with cab or, as supplied to TVE Hire and Sales – canopy versions. One significant change on the new models is that hydraulic hoses for the digging equipment are now routed through the boom and cylinders are top mounted to minimize on site damage. The 1.7 tonne compact excavator also benefits from load-sensing hydraulic system for fast cycle times, even when carrying out multiple functions. Maximum dig depth is a generous 2.3 metres. A single piece engine hood provides unobstructed access to all the engine components whilst the instrument panel provides at-a-glance monitoring of all key functions. The cab’s easy to clean flat floor panel lifts for access to hydraulics and main control valve.
Commenting on TVE’s purchase, SM Plant’s Managing Director Simon Milligan said; “We are absolutely delighted to have retained TVE Hire & Sales’ business in these tough economic conditions and Ian and Matt can be assured that we will be there along with Volvo to continue to support them going forward.”
