Prestigious package for
Hall Construction A package of eleven Volvo articulated haulers and a seventy-five tonne EC750E mass excavator have re-established a long standing relationship between Hall Construction Services Ltd of Rushyford, Co Durham and SMT GB.
So far, the EC750E along with six A40G articulated haulers, have gone to work on a five year overburden removal project to expose seams of high purity gypsum in an open cast mine on the outskirts of Newark in Nottinghamshire, where up to 2.8m³ of material is expected to be excavated each year. A further five, slightly larger capacity Volvo A45Gs are on order to supplement the fleet on site which currently totals some twenty-eight items of mobile plant. “We’ve had many years of experience operating Volvo products in applications ranging from bulk muck shifting to coal extraction particularly in the north east of England and Scotland,” comments Managing Director, Stephen Hall. “They have a sound pedigree in terms of reliability and performance, with good residuals. Equally,
Volvo has a strong support network throughout the country and this is important to us as we look to undertake nationwide projects such as this one in Newark. These factors, together with a competitive package on offer were the deciding factors in opting for the latest Volvo products,” Stephen says.
Equipped in mass excavation configuration, the EC750E delivered to Hall Construction sports a 5.7m³ bucket fitted to the end of a 6.6m boom and a 2.9m dipper arm, giving generous digging dimensions. For example, the machine’s forward reach measures 11.46m with a maximum digging depth of 7.21m. The machine’s practical load over height is an impressive 7m and bucket breakout force 383kN in power max mode.
