AEDNews - Construction Equipment Industry News Volvo’s Standard Demolition Package Wins Innovation Award at Inaugural Demolition Awards Volvo Construction Equipment’s Standard Demolition machine package has been presented with the Innovation Award in the Series Product category at inaugural Demolition Awards, held in “It’s always nice to have one’s efforts recognized, but to be awarded this prize by the industry itself is really encouraging,” said Volvo’s Derrick Butterfield, global manager, marketing design. “We recognize that the demolition sector has specific needs, not least in increased operator safety, but also in performance and durability. Our Standard Demolition Package addresses all of these criteria in a tailor made, easy-to-specify way for customers.” Addressing the needs of recycling applications, Volvo Construction Equipment’s range of excavators is adapted to cope with the rigors of demolition duties. The six models in the Standard Demolition Excavator series are the EC210CLD, EC240CLD, EC290CLD, EC360CLD, EC460CLD and EC700CLD excavators. The machines keep all the attributes of the base excavator but offer increased protection for the machine and its operator – while at the same time offering hydraulic upgrades that allow the machine to act as a multi-function tool carrier.Stripping, cutting, pulverizing, crushing, separating, and finishing: demolition excavators are called upon to conduct a variety of diverse operations. Attachments such as concrete pulverisers, scrap grapples, hammers, shears and multi-processors all require different hydraulic set ups: extra lines or different hydraulic flows. Consequently, the new range of standard demolition excavators allows the versatility to change attachments easily (via a quick coupler) and auxiliary hydraulic piping is pre-fitted.
