The new machines are an EC250E and an EC300E. The EC250E has been specified for secondary demolition duties and equipped in standard backacter configuration. Ther largers EC300E has been supplied with a modular boom joint and 22-metre reach three piece demolition rig as well as a straight boom.
The modification work on the EC300E was carried out by Messrs Kocurek of Ipswich, which included a tilting cab complete with a full heavy duty FOGS guard, the modular boom joint and the three piece and straight boom arrangements. To facilitate the use of the equipment an additional cassette type counterweight has been added to the machine for maximum stability.
Goody Demolition has been running Volvo machines for more than 20 years. “Our past experience when it comes to operating Volvo excavators is extremely positive,” said plant manager Ashley Ovenden.
“The machines are built to a high standard and are certainly robust enough for the demolition applications we undertake also their reliability has been equally impressive.”
