Ovenden Earthmoving Co Ltd of Wingham Well near Canterbury has taken delivery of a new Volvo L180G wheeled loader and three A30F articulated haulers as an increment to its plant fleet.
These latest additions to Ovenden’s earthmoving fleet of primarily Volvo branded machines were chosen once again thanks to high product availability of the existing product coupled to a first class after sales service support and operator acceptance. In particular, the L180G which features a 13 litre Tier IIIB compliant 333hp engine, optishift transmission and axles all designed and manufactured by Volvo has been deployed on one of many coastal defence contracts undertaken by Ovenden Earthmoving. Equipped with a bespoke pipe handling grapple the 25 tonne wheeled loader is well on top of the job of handling up to 20m long pipes which are used for the process of beach re-nourishment. Watch the machine in action!
