Volvo all the way for Daly Plant Hire

Daly Plant Hire Ltd are no strangers to running Volvo articulated haulers, the family run business having operated a mix of A25’s and A30’s over the past twenty plus years. “To be honest we wouldn’t run anything else,” says Managing Director Eamon Daly. “Our Volvo trucks have proved their worth time and time again in terms of reliability, performance and most importantly – client acceptance. One of our oldest C models has clocked up an impressive 30000 operating hours on the original powertrain components and that speaks volumes for the pedigree of the truck,” he continues.

Operating a fleet of twenty two trucks including the latest A30G models, Daly Plant Hire has developed a niche in the hire market becoming the largest hirer of Volvo articulated haulers in the south east of England, hiring to blue chip contractors and a wide variety of projects. Trucks are supplied complete with operators and the latest A30G’s have been supplied with optional factory fitted automatic lubrication systems.

The A30G hauler from Volvo meets the requirements of Stage IV final emissions legislation being powered by an electronically controlled, six cylinder 264kW turbo charged Volvo V-ACT diesel engine. This features high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in good fuel efficiency, high performance, quicker engine response and less wear, i.e. long service life. Purpose built by Volvo, the engine is designed to exactly match the Volvo drive train, ensuring the best use of power and torque, even in tough working conditions. Delivering exceptional fuel efficiency, it is matched to a torque converter with built in lock-up function and fitted with a fully automatic fast adaptive transmission. The rest of the Volvo designed and built powertrain has been reinforced to cope with the higher torque output of the engine.

With a carrying capacity of 28 tonnes and heaped capacity of 17.5m³ the Volvo A30G has a maximum speed of 53kph. The hauler is also fitted with CareTrack as standard, which is Volvo’s telematics system that enables remote monitoring of a wide range of machine functions (e.g. location, fuel consumption, service reminders etc.) thus optimizing customer operations.

Daly Plant Hire has over 40 years’ experience in providing plant for projects across the south east of England and beyond. Based at Redhill Surrey, the company has built up an excellent reputation for providing efficient services and reliable machinery. Recent high profile projects include Heathrow Terminal 5, the M25 widening, the redevelopment of Ascot racecourse, the 2012 Olympic site and work on a major port project in the Thames Estuary. The company has recently branched out into loader hire with the purchase of a Volvo L110G to enhance their product portfolio.
