VOLVO EXCAVATOR

Forget downtime. Let’s talk overtime.The daily job plan for high-demand earthmoving andmaterial-loading jobs doesn’t include downtime.An excavator can’t take a break, or the whole jobstops. Artics don’t roll, material stays put andprofitability goes south. The answer? The VolvoEC700B, forged from Volvo’s long heritage buildinghigh-performance, reliable construction machines.With the EC700B, forget about down time. Let’s talkovertime.Rely on long-term performanceWhen the operator climbs into the cabeach day, he needs to know theexcavator will get it done — no matterthe task or site conditions. The machineowner wants even more: low-costoperation, predictable uptime and longlife. With the EC700B, they can bothbank on it.Stocked with proven, extra-dutycomponents, the EC700B is rock-solid.The main pump and slew motor are highgrade with extra capacity. The slewbearing has a larger-diameter ball. Areinforced under-cover protects the hightensile-strengthsteel undercarriage andthe superstructure. The boom and armare robotically welded and engineered forextreme stress.Volvo’s fluid and air filtration systemsremove even the smallest particles.Micro-particle filtration keeps the engine,hydraulics and electronic componentsfree from contaminants, enhancingperformance — and uptime.Volvo is the world’s largest manufacturerof heavy-duty diesel engines in the 9-18L class. That experience shows in theD16 engine, a fuel-stingy power plantwith the highest capacity of any enginein its class. The added engine capacityand harmonized hydraulics ensure theexcavator doesn’t hesitate or bog downwhen the digging gets tough. Thatmeans components wear longer.Based on the L330 wheel loader engineand specifically designed for thedemands of excavation, the D16 is fieldprovenin off- and on-highwayapplications. The Volvo nameplate onengine means performance, fueleconomy, durability and long, reliable life.8
