Collins Earthworks Volvo EC950F (First in U.K.)

Collins Earthworks took delivery of the U.K's first Volvo EC950 in July. The 105 tonne F series model in mass excavation spec was put straight to work on a 1 million cubic metre dig near Swadlincote, for the Project Mercia employment park. The 238 acre development is being created by IM properties at junction 11 of the M42.

The EC950F is the key machine on site, loading Volvo A60H ADT 's with it's 6.75 cubic metre bucket using 4 passes in under a minute. The unique blue and white chevron counterweight wrap was requested by the operator based on smaller Collins machines that previously had the design. The 14.5 tonne counterweight is removable for transportation to comply with U.k load sizer regulations.

That machine is very beautiful in deed, .. but that squeaking noise doesn’t sound healthy for such a new machine? 🤔😳

what is the volume of the shovel?5, 6, 7?

[jaquigreenlees]

This size machine is way to big for the majority of sites, it will be best used when it is at a site for longer periods of time for daily use. 2 or 3 days downtime to move it with having to partially take it down and re-assemble every time it is moved to a new site.
