This latest package of machines includes three Volvo EC220D (22-tonne) excavators, two of the latest E series EC250E excavators (25-tonne) and an L150H loading shovel, with a 4.2m鲁 general purpose bucket.
These machines represent a partial replacement plan but also an increase in Raymond Brown overall mobile fleet, as it has recently won more long-term contracts.
Group plant manager Nick Moth said he chose Volvo for their build quality and performance. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been associated with Volvo equipment for over 25 years,鈥� he said.
The three EC220D excavators will work in an aggregate quarry, a sand and gravel pit and a recycling facility belonging to Raymond Brown. The EC250E excavators and L150H shovel work on long-term contracts processing of incinerator bottom ash (IBA) at locations across Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
The new machines join a Volvo L60F and L90F bought four years ago for Raymond Brown鈥檚 recycling facilities at Nursling and Romsey.聽
