Multiple work zones allowed visitors to operate the very latest machinery from the Volvo Construction Equipment range
LIVE IT. DIG IT. 2019
With the help of Hills Quarry Products at its Mortimer quarry, Reading, and Ashcourt Group’s Partridge Hall quarry in Burnby, York, SMT GB once again hosted its largest ever demonstration days. Held across two weekends in May, and attended by more than 300 visitors, the two events provided the opportunity to try out a wide range of Volvo construction equipment in a working environment. The events offered several ‘firsts’ for SMT GB and those who registered to attend – it was the first time the L260H would be available to test drive; it was also the first opportunity to try out Dig Assist, Compact Assist and Haul Assist and it was the first showing of the new EC200E excavator.
While flagship products such as the EC750E excavator and the 60-tonne capacity A60H were also available to try out, the
smaller A40G articulated hauler gave operators the chance to experience Haul Assist in a route with the A60H. In addition, the SD160 soil compactor was being put through its paces to illustrate Compact Assist.
At the smaller end of the scale, the new EC60E was also available for the first time, along with ECR18E, ECR88D, ECR25D and EW60E excavators.
Machine versatility was also demonstrated with the inclusion of Steelwrist tilt rotators on three machines – the EC220E, EWR170E and EW60E and in York Operators were offered the opportunity to compete against each other in a game of noughts and crosses. ■
