Volvo EC18E Excavator

Description

The Volvo EC18E is one of the latest E series compact machines powered by a 12kw Volvo engine driving a variable displacement piston pump. It is the premium 1.5 tonne class excavator currently available with a 13% increase in traction forces the EC18E will drive through the harshest ground. The innovative design gives unprecedented access for maintenance with best in class serviceability with 50 hour grease intervals coupled with a high-profile rear cast-iron counterweight wrapped around the rear of the machine with recessed steel panels for added protection in tight working spaces. It has variable width undercarriage to get through narrow gaps and then expanding out for maximum stability. Finger-tip controls with adjustable hydraulic flow allow an uncluttered floor with large flat glass for maximum vision in the cabbed version and automatic two speed tracking means the operator environment is a safe and ergonomic one. With an additional 140mm of digging depth  and 22% lift capacity over its predecessor, the EC18E is designed to work hard for you. The hydraulic hoses are protected by being routed inside the boom so they don’t get damaged with the boom ram mounted on top with the ability to clean up to the dozer blade. There are four easily accessed tie down points and an automatic slew lock so transporting the machine from site to site is safe and easy.
