Volvo Construction Equipment recently announced their expanded C-Series hydraulic excavators line. The company now offers 10 models of crawler excavators with operating weights ranging from 12 tons to 70 tons, and with breakout forces from 19,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds. Shown at this year’s Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries show in May, Volvo Construction Equipment’s EC210C is just one of the company’s machines designed specifically to meet scrap handling needs.
The EC210C delivers maximum performance and maximum productivity, as well as fuel economy with 20 percent lower fuel bills based on actual figures in scrap applications. These units have a powerful 147 horsepower Volvo Tier 3 engine, offering high torque at low rpm which leads to fuel efficient production with less noise and heat generated.
These excavators feature the Volvo-exclusive Advanced Control System (ACS), which balances engine power with hydraulic pump output to provide maximum production with minimal fuel consumption. Units are built for tough work, with strategically reinforced, robotically welded structures, and both sides of the idler frame have heavy-duty reinforcements. Chrome pins have brass bushings and graphite inserts, and a spacious Volvo Care Cab provides visibility for easier load cycles as well as comfort and reduced noise and vibration.
The EC210C also offers best-in-class cab filtration with the highest capacity heating and cooling available with 14 air vents. Additionally, Volvo offers CareTrack, its state-of-the-art telematics system, on the EC210C with a three-year customer subscription. CareTrack is used to manage a machine’s productivity and maximize its availability for work with data available securely and instantaneously to any remote online connection.
Earlier this year, Volvo displayed their EC460CHR High Reach Demolition excavator at Bauma 2010 in Germany. The EC460CHR is engineered to provide a reliable, durable machine purpose-built for the rigours of primary and secondary demolition applications, and is part of Volvo’s growing line of High Reach demolition excavators. It features a 27.4 m boom and arm, and is supplied with both high-reach demolition boom and standard excavator configuration digging boom and arm.(With a changeover process that takes as little as 30 minutes.) Also standard is a transportation cradle for both configurations.
