The maintenance department takes pride in the fact the airport has never shut due to snow accumulation and aims to keep it that way. Production output from its snow clearing equipment is therefore crucial.
Dan Frisby, the department’s equipment maintenance foreman who takes charge of an equipment fleet totalling 380 items, comments how impressed he is with the throughput work crews are obtaining from the Volvo L330E wheel loaders. He says it comes on the back of a favourable experience with a Volvo L220E model purchased some years previously.
“Performance from these new machines has been excellent. The loaders have provided a 66% increase in production. Just one L330E surpasses the performance of three other machines in our fleet,” he reports.
