SO WHAT IS A LOADING SHOVEL?
A fantastic piece of machinery by Volvo that is used across various sectors to basically push waste, silage or whatever you might around! In our case our New L70 is a welcome addition being used to empty waste bays, load orries and push waste up.
SAFETY AS STANDARD
• Anti-slip steps and strategically placed handrails
• Orange three-point seatbelt
• Redesigned side mirrors
• Rear-view camera
A BIT OF LOADER HISTORY
Volvo’s, or rather BM’s, first wheeled loader was the H10. But where did it come from?
To start with, engineers simply turned an agricultural tractor back-to-front. By placing the loader unit over the bigger wheels, they reasoned that it would be capable of lifting heavier loads.
The H10 wheeled loader was based on a series of different tractors, including the BM 470. The H10 was a major success at the time; it was the world’s first wheeled loader with a parallel linkage, double-acting lift rams and a purpose-designed attachment bracket.
In 1986, Volvo brought its first ‘L’ series loading shovel to the market – namely the L160. The ‘L’ designation is still in use today.
L means loader and the number indicates the full turn tipping load
FULLY LOADED
Whatever the job, we have the tools to get it done. Volvo offers a full range of Volvo buckets, including general purpose, grading, refuse, light material, and more, to handle everything, from light material to heavy rocks. Built on decades of engineering excellence, Volvo buckets are optimized for Volvo wheel loaders and durably designed for all types of materials and tasks.
THE NEW L70 LOADING SHOVEL – AN UPDATED MODEL FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS
Its packed with innovative features that achieve up to 20% greater fuel efficiency than older models. Combining new optimized loading unit weight, redesigned counterweight, and increased top speed of 50km/h, facilitated by the optional lock-up function, the next-generation wheel loader delivers greater profitability in every load.

We’re incredibly proud to be involved with the latest charity calendar being organised by Girl Torque. Our girls have done their photo shoot and we think the photos are fab!
Here’s a few snippets from the article published in Truck and Driver. It makes great reading!
Brought together by a passion for their profession, a group of drivers are producing a calendar to raise money for various charities
Road transport may be facing a wider range of problems than ever, but it keeps on going; the blood in the veins that keep the heart of our nation pumping. Those wheels keep turning, in the face of ever greater adversity.
That’s because when you strip it all down to the bare bones, there’s a spine of incredible, inspirational people who go above and beyond what they need to get the job done and seek to support others.
Look at the amount of charitable and fundraising events organised by truck drivers. Would you find anything close to that per-capita in any other industrial sector? Don’t think so.
“Truck driving brings people together, it creates bonds and unites, and forges friendships for life. For some folk, yeah, it’s just a job. But for others, that feeling of freedom, of the open road, that inexplicable need to keep on moving and exploring; it becomes a compulsion.
It burrows into your soul and it never really leaves you. You either get it or you don’t”
That’s ultimately what’s brought this group of women together; a mutual respect, a passion for the work they do and the career they’ve chosen. This industry badly needs more drivers full stop! Not just women!.
THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE GIRL TORQUE CALENDAR IS KAREN SUTHERLAND.
She came up with the concept after hearing a variety of comments and opinions over the years about women drivers, whether she asked for them or not. “I wanted a way to show everyone what we do as drivers and raise some money for charity too” she explains, “There are plenty of women who are more than capable of doing this job out there. It shouldn’t matter whether you are male or female! These women do what they do for the love of the job, not the attention.”
This years calendar will feature 48 female drivers from different sectors of the haulage industry. Each month has four showing off the truck they drive and the work they do.
SPONSORSHIP
EMS and Stuarts have sponsored this fabulous calendar and are really proud to be associated Girl Torque. Other sponsors include Volvo UK, Michelin Tyres, STAS Trailers and Gray & Adams Trailers just to name a few. If you want to support this great cause, then don’t delay! For enquiries pleae contact Girl Torque via their website www.girltorque.co.uk
ALL PROFITS FROM THE 2023 CALENDAR WILL GO TO THE FOLLOWING FOUR CHARITIES:
The Alzheimers Society
Dogs Trust
Maggies Cancer Support
MIND
Our awesome girls Lydia, Chloe, Trina, Cat and Cassie attended for their photo shoot this week and the photos are fabulous!
GIRL TORQUE IS A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATION WHO ARE WISHING TO NORMALISE AND PROMOTE HARD WORKING FEMALES IN THE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SECTOR, WHILST RAISING MONEY FOR VARIOUS CHARITIES
Female HGV Drivers at EMS
When you think of a HGV driver you’d be forgiven for usually thinking of a man. However this role is becoming increasingly popular with women of all ages and we have to say some of our best drivers are girls!
We’ve actively promoted sexual equality in the work place for years and think its great that more and more women are taking an interest in the role.
We’ve had people join us from other companies and we’ve also trained from within the company and they’ve been amazing!
The haulage industry is traditionally seen as a male dominated industry and the figures speak for themselves. Out of over 315,000 registered truck drivers in the UK, only a very small percentage are Female!
BUT numbers are on the rise and the Female Trucker roles are gaining popularity. There are many female truckers posting on TikTok with videos showing their life on the road. Girl Torque are using their flatform to promote and normalise hard working females.
We like to think we’re forward thinking in our approach to recruitment and hopefully this driver shortage will encourage more female drivers to look for a change of career.
We’d love to hear from anyone (male or female) looking to return to HGV work or even a new challenge.
Get in contact and we’d be happy to discuss any possible vacancies we may have.
EMS PURCHASES A NEW ELECTRIC POWERED SENNEBOGEN 818E.
EMS has purchased it first fully electric mobile machine to feed our waste processing plant in Exeter. The Sennebogen supplied by Molson Group is part of our process moving from diesel equipment to alternative fuels.
Our new addition will reduce fuel consumption and noise providing a better working environment.
SENNEBOGEN
SENNEBOGEN was founded in 1952 to develop and produce machines for the agricultural industry. The company has now established itself as a full service provider and quality leader in crane technology and material handling. As an international company, SENNEBOGEN develops and produces complete model ranges for duty cycle cranes, crawler cranes, telescopic and harbour cranes, material handlers, telehandlers as well as base carriers.
In addition to flexible machines from series production, SENNEBOGEN also designs individual specialised machines in close collaboration with its clients.
SENNEBOGEN 818 – ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLER FOR ECONOMICAL HANDLING OPERATIONS
For over 25 years, SENNEBOGEN has been an innovation leader in electrically driven material handlers. In addition to savings of up to 50% in operating costs compared to conventional diesel engines, electric material handlers offer further cost and efficiency advantages. At the bauma, SENNEBOGEN is showing the new SENNEBOGEN 818 with a 90 kW electric motor and a cable drum mounted on the undercarriage, as an example of its wide range of models.
The advantages of electro-hydraulic drive systems are many and varied – as are the implementation versions of the SENNEBOGEN material handlers. Every machine from the current product range can be customized with an electric motor at the plant. The advantages of the electric material handlers are clear. A low wear allows considerably longer service intervals in comparison to a diesel engine.
Oil and filter changes are eliminated at the same time. In addition, the electrically driven machines are always ready for operation and work around the clock without refueling if necessary. In the end, the SENNEBOGEN electric material handlers not only run more cost-efficiently but are also especially environmentally friendly and emission-free.
Furthermore, electro-hydraulic drive systems have a much higher working comfort for the operator, thanks to vibration-free and low-noise drives.
SENNEBOGEN ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLERS – IN SUMMARY
Economical and efficient: Up to 50% savings in operating and energy costs
Compact and flexible: Compact dimensions, various power supplies possible
Mobility for every application: Powerpack solutions for freely movable machines, integrated Powerpack for flexible use
Zero emissions: Clean technology, low noise level for a pleasant work environment
Always ready for use: Work without refueling, longer service and maintenance intervals
COMPACT ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLER FOR INDOOR OPERATION
At the bauma, SENNEBOGEN is now presenting the smallest material handler, the 818, in the electric version as well. Equipped with a 90 kW electric motor and mobile undercarriage, the machine combines maximum flexibility with the advantages of an electrohydraulic drive.
The necessary cylindrical cable drum has been directly mounted on the undercarriage. In this configuration with 10 m long equipment including sorting grab, the 818 is optimally suited, for example, for sorting and loading activities in indoor operation. The compact basic dimensions of the machine with a width of only 2.50 m and a length of 4.36 m also offer further advantages in confined spaces.
Whether in waste management, recycling, or scrap handling, wherever fast operating cycles are required, for example, for feeding plants or loading trucks, the proven 1-cylinder system impresses with fast cycles and maximum reliability. With a continuously adjustable height of up to 2.70 m, the operator has an optimum overview of the working area from the comfortable Maxcab comfort cab. Several cameras and extensive periphery lighting provide a complete overview, and all machine parameters can be monitored on the SENCON control system.
Stay tuned for new recycling equipment arriving later this year!
