Overview
A large civil contractor needed a 38T excavator for a basement dig in the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD).
The confined space the team would be working in meant it was critical for the customer to hire a reduced radius machine.
Challenges
A 35-40T reduced radius excavator isn’t a common machine and isn’t always readily available.
Also, delivering such a large machine into the Brisbane CBD presented a challenge due to the wide load, tight streets and traffic.
Solutions
earth gear supplied a brand new 38T Volvo ECR355E1 reduced radius excavator on time and within budget.
Our team were able to organise a 5am delivery to avoid the Brisbane CBD rush hour and ensure the large float could be delivered with as little or no delays.
earth gear was able to facilitate the delivery of the Volvo 38T excavator within a matter of days from receiving the customers enquiry.
Results
Without a large reduced-radius excavator, this job would have taken much longer affecting budget and delivery times.
earth gear’s prompt response and delivery of the 38T Volvo Reduced Radius Excavator meant the Large Civil Contractor was able to complete the project efficiently and on time.
