<p>The BV105 Box Van has load area dimensions of 1470mm (W) x 3000mm (L) x 1830mm (H) and a cubic capacity of 8.72 cu. metres. It has a carrying capacity of 1885kg.</p>
<p>The combination ramp/doors and front access door makes this a versatile trailer. The rear ramp is particularly useful, making heavy items easier to load with the use of a sack truck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.didcotplant.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/volvoecr88.jpg" alt="8-tonne Volvo ECR88" title="8-tonne Volvo ECR88" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1619" />In March we added another new excavator in the form of a Volvo ECR88 Plus 8.4 tonne machine, supplied by SM Plant of Rugby.</p>
<p>The ECR88 Plus is a hugely impressive machine, built to be comfortable, powerful and safe.<span id="more-1618"></span></p>
<p><strong>Comfortable in tight spaces</strong><br />
With its short swing radius and offset digging ability the ECR88 Plus offers the ultimate in manoeuvrability and usability however tight the site is.</p>
<p>The cab is packed with features with the operator in mind. A wide, uncluttered floor gives plenty of leg room and an adjustable suspension seat has a high back for extra comfort. The joysticks and ergonomic armrests are mounted to the consoles and can be adjusted independently of the seat. These easy-grip high-response control levers provide precise movements and reduce operator fatigue.</p>
<p>The rubber mounted cab helps to reduce vibration and is fitted with large flat windows within narrow cab pillars for ultimate visibility and safety. The heating and air conditioning system helps to keep it comfortable at all times regardless of the weather.</p>
<p><strong>Powerful performance</strong><br />
The ECR88 Plus is fitted with the latest low emission, water-cooled, direct injection Volvo 4-cylinder diesel engine and load sensing hydraulic system that together result in impressive breakout and tear-out performance.</p>
<p>It features an auto-idling system for increased efficiency that lowers the engine speed to idle if the operator controls are not used for five seconds. The system returns the engine to the pre-selected speed once the controls are used again. This feature reduces fuel consumption, increases engine life expectancy and reduces noise.</p>
<p>The load-sensing hydraulic system is state of the art. The speed of the hydraulic movements depend only on the position of the power-assisted, multi function control levers &#8211; regardless of load and number of simultaneous cylinder  movements  &#8211;  to instantly supply only the necessary power.</p>
<p><strong>Safe design</strong><br />
The safety of the operator and those around him has been an important aspect of the design process during the development of the ECR88 Plus. As mentioned above the cab is fitted with large flat windows within narrow cab pillars for ultimate visibility and safety and the glass is laminated so that should it break it stays in one piece. ROPS, FOPS and TOPS safety protection also come fitted as standard and all machine controls are locked out when the console is raised to prevent accidents when the operator is getting into or out of the cab.</p>
<p>The ECR88 Plus provides large excavator technology and performance in a more compact package. At just 2300mm wide and 2680mm high but with a maximum digging depth of  4870mm the ECR88 Plus reaches the jobs heavier diggers cannot.</p>

<p>It arrived from Leach Lewis Plant on Friday 2nd March and was booked for its first hire immediately.<br />
The 80AD-5 is designed with the operator firmly in mind. According to Bomag:</p>
<p><em>“A spacious driver’s platform, intuitive  operation, perfect visibility, easy handling and the best sprinkler system in its class, combine to give impressive performance capability. The impressive compaction  output is based on a powerful exciter system &#8211; well proven over many years, plus efficient high performance hydraulic and drive systems.”</em></p>

<p>What Kubota say about their machine:</p>
<p>&#8220;Operate the KX71-3 mini-excavator’s control levers and you’ve got the most efficient, on-the-job performance within your hands. That’s because the KX71-3 delivers the largest digging depth and reach of all mini-excavators with a long arm in its weight category. Even with the long arm, it amazingly generates the largest power in its class for both arm and bucket digging. Furthermore, the KX71-3’s lifting power is so strong. Together with a host of robust features that complete the package, making the KX71-3 the stand-alone leader in performance.&#8221;</p>
