If you're in the construction business, you know that having dependable, high quality equipment is essential to getting the job done right. But sometimes it can be tricky to make the right decision on what is the right piece of equipment for your needs.

Cater Equipment are specialists in providing used Volvo heavy machinery for nationwide construction projects, which is why we’ve put together a guide to just a few of the best models of Volvo plant equipment that you can put to use on your site. Here are three of our favourite ranges of Volvo equipment that we think will change your construction game:

Volvo A40 dump trucks

The Volvo A40 range is one of the most popular selections of dump trucks on the construction scene today. In particular, the Volvo A40G articulated dump truck is perfect for hauling heavy loads on difficult terrain. With a 40-ton payload capacity and four-wheel drive that lets it climb difficult terrain with ease, this dump truck can handle anything you throw at it. Hauling dirt, concrete, or any other heavy materials is a breeze with a Volvo A40G dump truck.

If you need an even tougher and more versatile articulated hauler for bigger jobs, the Volvo A60H – the sister model to the A40G – is an off-road dump truck that is built for the most challenging construction sites. This dump truck can tackle even the most difficult jobs with ease with its 60-ton payload capacity and powerful six-wheel drive.

Volvo L180 wheel loaders

A wheel loader from the Volvo L180 range provides a great loader that is perfect for smaller construction projects. The Volvo L180F wheel loader is perfect for digging and loading materials on construction sites with its 180-ton payload capacity and four-wheel drive. This means that the L180 range of Volvo wheel loaders can handle any construction project.

The Volvo L180 range is also equipped with a number of features that make it easy to operate, including an ergonomic cab design, intuitive controls, and advanced technology like Volvo's Care Cab system. With a powerful Volvo engine, the L180 range provides exceptional performance on the job site and is designed for versatility and productivity in construction, quarry, and recycling applications. This makes the Volvo L180 an excellent choice for all-inclusive wheel loader requirements.

Volvo EC excavators

If you need intensive digging from a machine that can handle both modest and intensive work, then don’t look past the Volvo EC range of excavators, which has a wide range of diggers that can handle projects of any scope required.

If you’re in need of a sturdy and versatile digger that won’t let you down, the rugged and dependable Volvo EC250 crawler excavator is perfect for all digging and excavating on a range of both small and large construction sites. With an operating weight of between 24,000 and 28,000kg, this excavator can handle any of your smaller-end digging needs, such as on residential or commercial projects in urban areas.

Otherwise, if you need some more serious digging power on bigger industrial projects or construction sites, then don’t overlook the Volvo EC950 range, which provides the highest power excavator you’ll find. These diggers – which can measure up to 94,000kg in weight – can use gross power of up to 450kW to dig and carry any materials you need with ease.
