The firm, NE Surfacing of Rayne, Essex, has just purchased a new Volvo P6870C wheeled paver, replacing its three-year-old predecessor.

The firm opted for another Volvo CE machine having proven highly satisfied with the performance and reliability of its first paver from the supplier, a P6870C, as well as the support from the local dealer, SMT GB.

According to NE Surfacing, the build quality of the Volvo CE pavers is high while the machines are also manoeuvrable and have low working noise levels. But perhaps most importantly of all, the machines can lay a high-quality mat. The new model retains the same high-quality performance as the earlier model, while also benefiting from new features.
