Joining a mixed fleet of sixty machines these are the first Volvo products to be purchased by Advance Construction Scotland. “Up until now we tended to hire in this size of machine which was invariably a Volvo, so we already had a feel for the Volvo product,” commented Advance Construction’s plant manager Gareth Mollan. “Based on the reputation Volvo has for quality and reliability and endorsing this with other third party references, we decided to make the investment and purchase the machines.”
The five EC55C’s are incremental to Advance Construction’s fleet and are proving to be the ideal size of machine – well adapted for working on the typical sites the company is involved in where space is a premium but yet good reach and all round performance are required. Powered by a proven, direct injection Volvo diesel engine developing 35.1kw, the EC55C offers high performance, leading fuel efficiency and low emissions/noise. High performance tractive forces make levelling and backfilling quick and efficient work. The float blade provides precision finishing through a minimal, yet consistent amount of blade force and the heavy-duty travel pedals, comparable to those on heavier excavators, provide precision and an ease of operation. The machine features Volvo’s industry-leading comfortable cab for less fatigue and more production. The ergonomically-designed cab offers greater leg and foot room, making it one of the most spacious in its category.
