The Volvo EC480D is a 48-ton hydraulic excavator built for mining, overburden removal, and large infrastructure projects. It is powered by a 367 HP Volvo D13F engine designed to deliver high torque during demanding heavy-duty cycles. Weighing between 47,300 and 53,100 kg, the machine stays grounded across extreme terrain and high-load conditions. Its bucket capacity ranges from 1.77 to 3.8 m³, allowing it to manage large-scale bulk excavation and high-volume material movement. With a maximum digging depth of up to 9,170 mm, it can easily reach deep into hard ground and rock. High breakout force of up to 230 to 250 kN ensures strong digging in tough conditions. Advanced hydraulics provide faster cycle times and smoother operations throughout every shift. It is built for maximum output per shift with lower costs per tonne across all applications. A massive fuel tank allows for long continuous shifts without refueling interruptions on demanding mining sites. It is designed for extreme durability in mining and quarry environments over extended operational periods. The Volvo 480 excavator price in India ranges from Rs. 1.8 to Rs. 2.3 crore. It is an ideal choice for mining contractors and large quarry operators aiming for maximum output at lower costs per tonne.
