Earthline goes large with Volvo Construction
Equipment products Earthline Ltd of Ogbourne St George near Marlborough, Wiltshire, has taken delivery of Volvo’s flagship excavator, the seventy-five tonne EC750E, together with its first ever Volvo loading shovel,
the 25-tonne L150H. These latest machines join an ever increasing fleet of Volvo branded machines and whilst Earthline’s managing director, Philip Coplestone, takes an objective view of the market place when it’s time to replace or add equipment, the main reason for choosing Volvo is down to the reliability, performance and robustness of the product, coupled to a first class after-market support, in his opinion. “This time around, we needed to replace our EC700C with a new large prime mover and considered the EC750E to be the right machine for our application, but we also decided to opt for a new Volvo loading shovel for the first time based on the good experience we’ve had to date with our other Volvo machines and
following a successful demonstration,” says Philip. “But that’s only part of the equation. In our line of business, it’s crucial we get the best backup and after sales service wherever our equipment is working and SMT GB has not been found wanting in this regard.” The new EC750E has been supplied in mass excavation configuration which includes a 6.6 metre boom and a 2.9 metre dipper arm along with a Tefra mix-and-match quick-attachment bracket. The machine will be deployed at Earthline Ltd’s Hatford Quarry near Wantage, ripping limestone in situ using a heavy-duty ripper tooth and a bespoke 4m³ heavy-duty rock bucket supplied by SMT GB.
