Volvo EWR170E for experienced operator

Featuring a carefully selected list of unique specifications, Collins Earthworks’ new EWR170E is the perfect tool for experienced operator, Will Goldstone. Working for Collins Earthworks as a wheeled excavator operator for the past five years, Will has gained experience on several key infrastructure projects, such as the East Midlands Gateway and Northampton Gateway projects.

“My last machine was a Volvo EWR170E, and I had an EWR160E before that, so this new machine is my third Volvo wheeled excavator while I’ve been working for Collins,” Will explained. When asked for his opinion on the previous machines and support provided by exclusive Volvo dealer SMT GB, Will stated, “They’ve all been fantastic! I’ve never had any major issues or real unscheduled downtime with any of them – it’s only ever been minor issues that have been fixed the same day.”

Presented in a striking custom Collins blue and Volvo grey colour scheme and livery, Will’s new EWR170E stands out on a jobsite. The machine also benefits from an extensive list of customised specifications, including an engcon tilt-rotator and quick coupler, a two-piece boom, boom suspension, Super Single wheels with 600/50 22.5 tyres, trailer hitch and brake circuit, a Volvo 360-degree camera system, a luxury seat, Comfort Drive Control steering, MittX light bars and additional LED lighting for the front, sides and rear, all of which serve to greatly increase the versatility of this already highly capable machine.

Additionally, Will’s new EWR170E is supplied with a Level 2 Customer Support Agreement, ensuring that SMT GB’s team of highly trained engineers will proactively maintain this new machine for Collins Earthworks, maximising machine uptime, while minimising maintenance costs.
