Moons Hill has taken delivery of a new Volvo A45G hauler to upgrade the quarry’s fleet and improve efficiency.

The new plant replaces the older A40 that has been in service at Moons Hill for almost 10 years. As a newer model, the A45G will be more reliable and has updated operator features. More importantly, it has a larger capacity than the A40. This means it will be able to move more material for the same amount of fuel, making operations more efficient while also lowering emissions.

“We’re always looking to optimise efficiency,” says Aggregates Business Manager Ben Dormer. “This is our third new truck in 18 months as we aim to make our load and haul fleet as reliable, up-to-date and sustainable as possible.”
