VOLVO Construction Equipment says a second batch of four ECR88 Plus midi excavators has been delivered to UK based Flannery Hire.

According to Volvo, the second batch increases Flannery’s product portfolio for its operated and non operated supply business. Its mobile plant fleet totals around 150 items including 2.5 to 4t excavators, telehandlers, site dumpers and compaction equipment.

Flannery Hire says it saw a niche in its market for this size of machine and took its first four ECR88’s in 2008, upgrading from the traditional 5.5t model. The Volvo ECR88 Plus is large enough to load tippers in a timely manner and carry out medium sized groundwork jobs yet small enough and highly manoeuvrable when the need arises.

The Volvo ECR88 Plus midi excavator features a 7.3m horizontal reach and a lift capacity of 960kg at full reach. It is powered by a Volvo 3.4L low emission 57hp engine coupled to a load sensing hydraulic system for fast cycle times and smooth control.

Volvo says all eight machines have been equipped with check valves on the boom cylinders for lifting duties, Volvo immobilizers and vandal guards.
