First Volvo D series Ultra High Reach goes to Wooldridge Demolition
A brand new Volvo EC480D Ultra High Reach machine has been delivered to Wooldridge Demolition of Bagshot, Surrey along with an EC360C equipped for secondary demolition which celebrate a ten year association owning and operating Volvo Construction Equipment products.
The EC480D has been supplied to Wooldridge Demolition with a bespoke three piece demolition rig designed and manufactured by Messrs Kocurek of Ispwich and replaces an older EC460B model. With a maximum pin height of 26 metres and forward reach of 14 metres the EC480D is capable of handling a tool weight of 2500kgs.
At the heart of the machine a Stage IIIB V-Act 13 litre engine develops 348 hp and is ideally matched to its automatic sensing mode hydraulic system. The equipment features a hydraulic modular joint which enables the machine to be fitted with either ultra hi reach demolition equipment, a straight boom arrangement or as a standard backacter for digging duties.
