The machine has been sold with an SMT GB Level 2 enhance support agreement, meaning that Volvo trained engineers will carry out scheduled servicing on the EC480E using genuine Volvo parts, oils and lubricants.
This is the second time a multi demolition boom option has been sold on a Volvo machine in Great Britain, giving Ron Hull a variety of operating options for different types of demolition work. For instance, the machine can be simply rigged with the secondary boom and dipper arm for normal digging duties. The addition of the multi boom, which is a 3.4-metre extension piece that fits between the modular base boom joint and the remainder of the rig, gives the machine a far greater degree of flexibility. It also allows a maximum tool weight of five tonnes to be used. The equipment can be fitted in the straight position, providing a pin height of 15.8 metres, as well as a safe working radius of 8 metres. It can also be re-configured to work in an angled or bent position. This gives a reduced pin height of 12.9 metres but an increased reach of 9.6 metres – again, with a maximum tool weight of five tonnes. This configuration also allows the machine to reach a pin depth of 7 metres and is an ideal solution for underground demolition works such as, basements, underground car parks and even underwater demolition.

The hydraulically adjustable undercarriage significantly enhances the overall stability of the EC480E giving an extra one metre of width when working on site but in the retracted position. Together with the hydraulically demountable counterweight, this means the machine can be conveyed on conventional transport. Besides operating a larger Volvo EC700C in standard configuration, the new EC480E is the largest high reach demolition machine in Ron Hull’s mixed fleet of equipment. The machine has been sold with an SMT GB Level 2 enhance support agreement, meaning that Volvo trained engineers will carry out scheduled servicing on the EC480E using genuine Volvo parts, oils and lubricants.
