Blantyre based Advance Construction Scotland Ltd has purchased another package of Volvo excavators which, once again, are all incremental to the company’s already massive fleet of equipment with options for even more machines later this year.
Having purchased their first Volvo compact excavators eight years ago, then again in 2012, the machines have proved themselves on Advance Construction’s projects. “Opting for Volvo has proved to be a good decision for us. The machines have performed faultlessly, they give a good return on the investment and not least have been well appreciated by our machine operators, so as we continue to expand, opting for more Volvo excavators hasn’t been a difficult decision,” says Advance Construction’s plant manager, Gareth Mollan. “This time we’ve added ten new ECR88D reduced swing excavators, eight EC55Cs, thirteen Ec140E excavators, another EC210E and our largest excavator so far – a twenty-five tonne EC250E. This now brings our fleet of Volvo excavators to a total of 123 and will be looking to add still more Volvos in the immediate future.”
“One of the key factors to our continuing success and growth is retaining good excavator operators and so we take particular notice of their opinions,” continues Gareth. “Needless to say we find ourselves ordering progressively more Volvo branded machines as they are much appreciated and very well-liked by the more discerning excavator operator.”
