VOLVO EXCAVATOR

Move more material — THEN MOVE ONIn the battle between big iron and terra firma, theVolvo EC700B excavator is built to win. Conditionsin the field are tough: production trenching, massexcavation, quarry loading, rock-face stripping.The EC700B is tougher — made to humble themost punishing material. With world-class Volvopower and advanced hydraulics, the EC700Bpowers through its cuts, then moves quickly andsmoothly to load or dump.With the EC700B, you’ll move more material, moveit faster, then move on.Perfectly matched to Volvo A40DhaulerSuccess at earthmoving relies on howefficiently an excavator loads haul trucks.The size, power and work flow of theEC700B make it an ideal partner for theindustry-leading Volvo A40D articulatedtruck. Pass matching is critical to holddown cost per ton, and improve profit.What makes such a good match for loadand-haulwork? Start with stability fromthe wide-gauge track and heavy-dutycounterweight. No bouncing or rockingthat can slow cycles. High breakoutforces, crowding forces and slew speedensure the EC700B goes from trenchto truck quickly and efficiently. The Volvoengine and hydraulics are well-matchedfor responsive control and high torqueeven at low RPMs. The result? TheEC700B fills the A40D in four to sixpasses — an impressive Volvo team effort.Adapts to job conditionsThe EC700B is as flexible as it ispowerful. It can be equipped with worktools that match an array of groundconditions and different applications.For general excavation, the EC700Bcomes with a general-purpose boomand arm. For mass-excavation jobs, it isoutfitted with a short boom and shortarm. Where jobs demand more reach anddepth, a long arm is available. A standardboom and short arm is the configurationfor mining or quarry work.To enhance the EC700B’s solid footing,three types of double grouser shoesare available to deliver the best grip andtraction in varying ground conditions.4
