Plantworx 2017
The third live showcase event for construction professionals took place this year from 6–8 June, once again at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground.
Only the brave ventured out into the constant rain on the Tuesday, but despite the weather, the Volvo team offered a warm welcome and hot drinks to those who popped by the stand. The weather brightened for the second day before more rain fell on the Thursday, making this event the wettest (and muddiest) yet.
EUROPEAN LAUNCH OF THE VOLVO EC27D The EC27D compact excavator was shown for the first time in Europe at Plantworx. This new machine boasts an exceptionally large operating range for its size class, while combining intuitive operation and operator comfort with simple serviceability and versatility. With impressive lifting capacities and excellent digging forces, this rock-solid machine can handle a variety of jobs. Combining durability and ease of operation with serviceability and versatility, the EC27D is designed to stretch further, dig deeper and reach higher. You can read more about this new machine on page 52.
OTHER MACHINES ON DISPLAY Volvo showcased a wide range of their utility equipment including the popular EC15D, EC18D, and ECR35D compact excavators. The EW60E compact rubber duck was on display in both static form and also in the demo area where it was put through its paces with a Steelwrist tiltrotator attachment. The ECR25D was also available to try in the demo area. The ECR50D and ECR88D compact excavators also featured
