Volvo EC550E Excavator

Shorten cycle times in the EC550E which delivers the digging forces and lifting capacity more commonly found in a 60-tonner. Featuring impressive engine power, this excavator delivers superior swing torque and speed.

The perfect choice for handling heavy loads in the toughest applications, the EC550E features an ultra-durable undercarriage with a long lower frame,?a strong upper frame, and reinforced digging equipment with large pin size. The optional wider retractable lower frame provides further stability and higher ground clearance.

Optimize fleet use by up to 35%. The EC550E is the perfect partner to wide-body 38-40t hauling equipment, reducing the number of required passes – dramatically improving cycle times. .

The latest pioneering innovation from Volvo, the next generation electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology (IMVT) is the most advanced hydraulic system in the industry. IMVT provides intelligent electronic control with more control variable, compared to a conventional mechanically coupled hydraulic system. The result is maximum controllability and efficiency according to the specific application at hand.

While reliable and efficient machines of course play a vital role in reducing costs, enhancing safety and maximizing productivity, it is ultimately the performance of the operator that really makes the difference.?We offer a range of training initiatives to help unlock the full capability of the Volvo?machines,?including?EcoOperator?Training – an advanced course for experienced operators?which focuses on a more profitable and environmentally considerate?operation.

Fuel is the industry’s number one operational cost and Fuel Efficiency Reports help to identify areas where efficiency improvements can be made, providing clear insights into the fuel performance of a fleet, site or individual machine. If you need further support putting insight into action, your Volvo dealer is on hand to help you develop a plan to deliver long-term efficiency gains.

Operators benefit from outstanding visibility thanks to the rearview camera and 10 LED lights positioned throughout the machine, including the rear. Furthermore, the optional Volvo Smart View system gives operators a 360° birds-eye-view of the machine and working area.

A host of features combine to help operators work with confidence, including the travel alarm which alerts those around the machine when it is moving. Furthermore, a swing lock switch restricts the swing function while the machine is moving, and the hydraulic cut-off lever disables machine controls when lowered. Finally, an accumulator secures smooth boom lowering in case of emergency.

Welcome to the ultimate in operator control and convenience. The revolutionary new generation electro-hydraulics with IMVT enable a range of intelligent functions including Boom/Swing and Boom/Travel priority, adjustable boom down speed, as well as boom and arm bouncing reduction.

Servicing is made quick and easy by grouped filters and a battery cut-off switch, which ensures complete disengagement of the equipment. Features such as high visibility guardrails and handrails, 3-point right-hand access to the upper structure, bolted anti-slip plates and optional walkway ensure the highest levels of convenience when negotiating the machine.

Hydraulic pilot lines have been removed in the EC550E, reducing the number of couplings required, for increased machine reliability. Electric connectors which exceed Ingress Protection 6K9K water-proofed standards also contribute to long component life.

Keep the engine clean and performing at its best – especially when working in dusty conditions – with the oil bath precleaner. What’s more, the delayed engine shutdown helps to keep the turbocharger in top condition by turning the engine off only after the turbocharger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature.

Handle the heat with the tropical cooling system, designed to regulate hydraulic oil temperature when working in tropical conditions.
