VOLVO EXCAVATOR

The EC700B is a force to contend withEarth, start quaking. Quarry rock — time to flinch.Overburden, buckle up. Heavy clay, be afraid. Youmay have seen excavators before — but not like this.Nothing like the Volvo EC700B. You’re looking at 70tons of steely resolve with an 80-ton resume andplenty of attitude. It moves material with power andpurpose. It sips the fuel while cutting the trench andloading the bench. It wears like iron. And it won’tback down. For the earthmover and rock-hauler, thisis a true arsenal. The world of production diggingmay never be the same.Digging: Superior breakthrough and breakoutmeans full loadsLoading: Built to load haul trucks in fewer passesStingy on fuel, high on performanceThe heart of this excavator is thecontractor’s biggest advantage. The VolvoD16 engine sets the industry standardfor low fuel consumption. High-pressurefuel injectors and electronic enginecontrols squeeze the most power fromeach drop of diesel. The savings arenoticeable, and bankable. To completethe package, Volvo AdvancedCombustion Technology (V-ACT) keepsengine emissions low and exceedsenvironmental standards.In the trenches, the EC700B is all aboutforce. Digging force, arm crowding forceand breakout force. It delivers plenty ofall three, from the first cut through thestroke to the breakout and load. Highforces mean quicker cycle times, moretons loaded and faster job completion.The EC700B’s wide and stable stancehelps the excavator make most use ofthe power. Long, wide-gauge tracks,an extra-duty undercarriage and heavycounterweight help the machine hugthe ground and anchor the dig.High-capacity components help give theEC700B its aggressive performanceprofile and robust features. Look at thetracks, the robotically welded frame, theslew system and main pump. The namesays 70-ton, but the rating says 80-ton.Larger-capacity components give theEC700B a critical edge in durability andperformance.It’s a tightly integrated excavator,designed to cut, dig and load in extremeconditions. And it just gave productionexcavation a new name: Volvo.Lifting: Power and control for lift-and-set jobsTrenching: Aggressive performance for long-runtrenching6
