A trio of trucks for J C Balls & Sons


Celebrating 55 years of business, J C Balls & Sons Ltd of Ambergate, Derbyshire, has opted for three new Volvo A30G articulated haulers to supplement its plant fleet.


The new arrivals are additions to J C Balls & Sons’ extensive plant fleet comprising excavators, dozers, shovels, and rollers and haulers, and were chosen after reviewing the marketplace, according to Co-Director, Chris Balls. “Volvo articulated haulers are the market leaders for a reason,” he says. “They have a long pedigree for reliability and performance in virtually all terrains, as well as carrying capacity and, of course, high residual values when it’s time to trade. We also appreciate the safety features built into the trucks with all daily checks that can be carried out from ground level, the high degree of operator comfort and the low profile tyres which are standard on the A30G.”

The A30G hauler from Volvo meets the requirements of Stage-IV final emissions legislation, being powered by an electronically controlled, six-cylinder 264kW turbo charged Volvo V-ACT diesel engine. This features high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in good fuel efficiency, high performance, quicker engine response and less wear, i.e. long service life. Purpose built by Volvo, the engine is designed to exactly match the Volvo drivetrain, ensuring the best use of power and torque, even in tough working conditions. Delivering exceptional fuel efficiency, it is matched to a torque converter with built-in lock-up function and fitted with a fully automatic fast adaptive transmission.
