GROUND BREAKING MODELS FOR COLLINS EARTHWORKS! 

Customised promotional model vehicle specialists, Search Impex, are delighted to announce the release of a 1:50 scale Volvo EC950 excavator, customised in the livery of Midlands based operator Collins Earthworks Ltd.  

The models have been produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as a certificated Limited Edition (205 pieces).

Please note : The model has been based on the Volvo EC950EL, rather than the Volvo EC950FL, as per Collins actual excavator.  Collins Earthworks is fully aware of this and accepts there are some small differences in specification between the model and their actual excavator.

Based near the Nottinghamshire market town of Kirkby in Ashfield, the business was established many years ago by David Collins, firstly as a sole trader and later registering as Collins Contractors Plant Hire Ltd in 2000.  In 2006, the trading name was changed to Collins Earthworks Ltd., and continued successful growth has seen the Company undertake work throughout the UK. In addition to earthworks, the business has established a number of affiliated companies, including its sister company, EnviroTrac Ltd, (set up in 2008, specialising in soil stabilisation), Collins Training (formed in 2013 to provide operator training both internally as well as for external clients) and most recently Collins Demolition Ltd.  Each enterprise operates out of the same offices in Nottinghamshire to provide a single port of call to its clients.

Collins Earthworks Ltd has been managing earthmoving projects for over 15 years. It provides a fast, flexible, reliable and professional service nationwide and has achieved long running success meeting the demands of its customers from consultation through to construction. With a constant programme of investment in its staff and fleet, the business has its own workshops and mobile service units with fully qualified mechanical technicians to help keep machine down time to a minimum.

With an extensive fleet of over 700 pieces of plant, equipment and hgv’s (which includes the country’s biggest fleet of Volvo A60H dumpers), the new Volvo EC950FL excavator is not only the latest and largest excavator to be added to Collins’ impressive portfolio, it is also the largest excavator in the Volvo range.  Moreover, Collins were the first operator in the UK to put the mighty EC950 FL into service (as was also the case with the slightly smaller Volvo EC750 excavator).  With its 6.75 cu m bucket and a mere four scoops, the new EC950 FL can fill one of Collins many Volvo A60H articulated bulk dump trucks in just under a minute!

Models, available from Search Impex whilst stocks last, are priced at £159 each (including UK VAT & delivery). For details of availability of this and other models, collectors can visit the Search Impex website at www.search-impex.co.uk or call on 01332 873555.
