SCOTLAND’S Celmisa Plant Hire has taken delivery of a new Volvo FH540 Globetrotter 6×4 tractor unit. It will be paired with a Faymonville trailer and used to haul heavy plant equipment throughout Scotland’s central belt. It replaces a 2014 FH540 in the fleet.
Mark Johnston, plant manager at Celmisa, said: “We’ve been buying Volvo products for more than 40 years throughout the business, so we’re well accustomed to what the brand brings to the table. From construction equipment to trucks, Volvo has consistently delivered performance and reliability.”
Powered by a Euro 6 D13K Step E engine, the FH delivers 540hp and a peak torque of 2,600Nm, driven through an automated 12-speed I-Shift gearbox. Celmisa Plant Hire has opted to equip its new arrival with two extra gears, one crawler and one ultra-low crawler, in a move that could also reduce clutch wear by up to 75%.
