Ashcourt add more Volvos, including their first paver


The Hull-based Ashcourt Group has added more Volvo excavators and loading shovels to its plant fleet, together with a P6870C wheeled paver that will go to work for the Group’s civils and highways divisions.


The excavators in question will go to work on a range of activities undertaken by the Group’s civil engineering division. These include a sixteen tonne ECR145E and the larger forty tonne ECR355E, both of which are reduced swing machines. Additionally, four Volvo compact excavators have joined the fleet in the guise of an EC15E, an ECR25D, ECR58D and an ECR88D, following on from SMT GB’s Live It Dig It event that took place at Ashcourt’s Partridge Hall Quarry back in May. Two new loading shovels have also been included in this recent


package of machines. A Volvo L120H has replaced an older variant at the company’s Foster street recycling facility, and the larger twenty-five tonne L150H has been purchased for a new contract on Hull docks.


42 THE VOICE MAGAZINE No37 2019 Commenting on the recent arrivals, Ashcourt’s Plant Manager,


Adam Donkin, said: “These latest machines carry on a tradition for purchasing Volvo Construction Equipment products, which started six years ago. This is down to the consistently high quality of the products, their reliability and fuel efficiency. Our operators certainly appreciate the cab comfort and the way the machines perform. We also value the opinions of our operators when it comes to machine choice and selection and certainly, the excavators and shovels from Volvo are widely respected for their performance, as well as their high residual values. Not only that, we have developed a strong relationship with SMT GB, who provide us with excellent aftersales support; all positive points for continuing to favour the Volvo product.”
