Demolition excavators
Designed with additional hydraulic options and protection systems, this new range of excavators is specifically tailored to the demands of heavy duty demolition sites and recycling applications. The four models in the Standard Demolition Excavator series are the EC210B, EC240B, EC290B and EC360B excavators. The new machines keep all the attributes of the base excavator, but offer increased protection for the machine and its operator, while at the same time offering hydraulic upgrades that allow the machine to act as a multifunction tool carrier.
Units are designed for stripping, cutting, pulverizing, crushing, separating, and finishing. Available attachments include a concrete pulverizer, scrap grapple, hammer, shear and multi-processor, all of which require different hydraulic set ups (extra lines or different hydraulic flows). Consequently, the new range of standard demolition excavators allows the versatility to change attachments easily (via a quick coupler) and auxiliary hydraulic piping is pre-fitted.
Hydraulic flow can be adjusted from inside the cab to suit the tool in use. This is achieved by use of the Volvo Instrument Electronic Control Unit (I-ECU), which also allows machine functions to be customized, and conducts self-checks to detect any problems.
Additional key features of these new excavators include: heavy duty plating fitted to the track frame and on the underside of the superstructure to protect against sharp debris; wide undercarriage and long tracks for stability; full length track guards; easier maintenance; a side impact protection system; reinforced, double thickness door panels; protected boom and bucket cylinders; a falling object guard; and increased operator comfort due to shock damping, a multi-adjustable seat, air conditioning and a pressurized cab that keeps dust and fumes outside.
