Preview
SMT GB proudly announce their return to Hillhead
After a two year break from shows and exhibitions due to COVID-19, SMT GB are proud to announce that they will be attending Hillhead 2022 with a wide range of the latest Volvo construction equipment and technological solutions.
On the SMT GB stand, for the first time displayed in Great Britain, visitors will have the opportunity to see the all-new EWR130E Wheeled Excavator, EW200E Material Handler, the fifty-tonne EC530E Excavator and EC300E Hybrid Excavator. Visitors will also be able to see the mighty, ninety-tonne EC950F Excavator at work in the demonstration area.
New machines shown for the first time in GB
The multipurpose EWR130E wheeled excavator sets a new standard for powerful machine performance in an unbeatably compact package. Ideally suited for working in tight urban spaces, it’s wheeled drive means it can quickly move through infrastructure projects with ease. At 12-13 tonnes, the EW130E also possesses a light enough footprint to carry out landscaping work.
Purpose build for waste and recycling, the all new EW200E MH is built on the success of the larger EW240E MH, and delivers outstanding results in waste and recycling applications.
Delivering the same levels of controllability and performance you would expect from an equivalent conventional machine, but with a 12% up to 17% potential fuel efficiency improvement, the new EC300E Hybrid is the environmentally respectful choice for delivering powerful performance in built- up areas.
The EC530E and EC550E Excavators launched in 2020 and the EC530E will be available on the SMT GB stand. Designed for heavy-duty digging, mass excavation and large site preparation, both the EC350E and EC550E boast superb operator comfort, outstanding levels of update and a new generation of electro-hydraulics.
Due to be shown for the first time at Hillhead in 2020, the EC950F will be working in the demonstration area directly behind the SMT stand. The 95 tonne EC950F is Volvo’s largest excavator to date, and delivers maximum productivity in heavy rock or muck shifting applications thanks to its perfect combination of power, stability and breakout force.
Volvo Electric machines
A specially designed “electric village” will also be featured on SMT GB’s newly re-designed stand, which will offer Hillhead visitors with their first opportunity to see the newly expanded Volvo electric construction equipment range, which includes the EC18 Electric and ECR18 Electric compact excavators, and the L20 Electric compact wheeled loader. The ECR25 Electric, which was displayed for the first time at Bauma in 2019, will also be available on the stand.
The opportunity to see these all-new electric machines working in mock real-world applications will also be available, as demo shows will take place on the stand daily at 10:00, 12:00 and 14:00.>
