All-new machines are also a new size class for Volvo CE, offering a 25% boost in fuel efficiency and a range of advanced features to also deliver a 20% boost in productivity.
Delivering digging and lifting forces normally found in 60-ton machines, these two excavators feature the highest engine power in the class, providing high tractive force and swing torque. When coupled with large buckets, the EC530E and EC550E are perfectly suited to filling articulated haulers in the 30-40-ton class – requiring fewer passes to load them, thereby reducing cycle times. This combination can boost productivity by an impressive 20%.
These are 50-ton machines with all the characteristics of bigger equipment. A super-rigid reinforced undercarriage has the durability and strength normally associated with a 60-ton class excavator. This is supported by equally sturdy lower and upper frames. The EC550E undercarriage has a long and wide lower frame, giving it extra stability when working with heavier loads. The undercarriage on the EC530E, meanwhile shares the same transportation dimensions (and loading convenience) as Volvo’s 48-ton EC480E.
