From agriculture to earthmoving, spanning three generations and constant evolution. The story of Volatile Bernardo srl is one of deep roots in Sicily, which translates into a consolidated partnership with Eurocomach, built over more than ten years. We met with Bernardo Volatile to understand how an organization with 55 employees and a network of over 160 people manages to ensure operational continuity in a challenging territory like Sicily.

Global coverage for an island that never stops

With two strategic locations in Palagonia (Catania) and Partinico (Palermo), the Volatile Group embraces both ends of Sicily. It is not just a matter of logistics, but of extensive presence.

We are a deeply rooted organization in the region, explains Bernardo Volatile. In addition to our main offices, we have contact points and service centers in every town. This allows us to have global coverage and achieve significant numbers compared to our competitors: the Sicilian customer looks for the product, but above all, they look for us as a point of reference.”

Service: where trust is born

For Bernardo, service is the engine that drives repeat purchases. With 17 specialized mechanics and a spare parts warehouse spanning 3,000 square meters (featuring 8 vertical storage systems), the Volatile Group has transformed its after-sales service into a national benchmark of excellence.

In the first phase, the customer must get to know the quality of the Eurocomach product, but it is the speed of the intervention that drives them to purchase a second or third machine.

Today, an excavator is more about hydraulics than electronics, and it requires specific expertise: the technicians at Volatile Bernardo srl are dedicated exclusively to the brand and know exactly where to intervene to minimize machine downtime.

The technological challenge: “The triple boom is like an automatic transmission”

A central theme of the interview is the introduction of advanced geometries in a market traditionally linked to the monolithic boom. Bernardo Volatile highlights Eurocomach’s ability to offer unique solutions that transform the way work is done on the job site.

We offer machines that others simply don’t have in their catalog. Take the versions with a triple boom: it is a technology that, once tried, becomes indispensable. It’s like an automatic transmission in a car: you never go back.

The two pieces boom allows for negative depth work with surgical precision or lifting manhole covers and materials close to the machine, which is impossible with a traditional boom.

This versatility also applies to the Zero Tail (ZT) models, which are essential for Sicilian construction sites often wedged between historical centers and narrow streets. “For those working in urban maintenance, having a short-radius machine that does not overhang the tracks is a huge logistical advantage,” Bernardo tells us. “If you add the geometry of an articulated boom to this, a mini-excavator is transformed into a versatile tool for solving previously insurmountable space problems.”

From port works to the comfort of the new range

Eurocomach machines are also key players in the island’s major restoration projects, such as the recent reconstruction work in Sicilian ports following storm surges. This is where the fleet’s most imposing models, such as the 100TR, come into play.
