VOLVO EC250D CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Volvo EC250D is a medium crawler excavator engineered for high performance in digging and heavy-duty construction applications. It features a robust Volvo D8H six-cylinder, 7.7-liter turbocharged diesel engine delivering approximately 188 horsepower (138 kW) at 1800 rpm, ensuring efficient power and productivity with advanced emission compliance (Stage V/EU standards). The excavator’s operating weight ranges between 24,600 and 28,000 kg (54,200 to 61,700 lbs), providing stability and strength on diverse job sites. The EC250D offers a maximum digging depth of around 6.98 to 7.38 meters (22.0 to 24.2 feet) and a maximum reach along the ground of approximately 10.3 meters (33.8 feet), enabling efficient excavation reach and versatility. Its hydraulic system supports a maximum pump flow of about 263 liters per minute for precise and powerful operation, facilitating faster cycle times and greater digging forces, with breakout forces reaching up to 152 kN (normal) and 166 kN (boosted). The excavator supports bucket capacities ranging from 0.48 to 1.85 cubic meters, adaptable for various material volumes. It includes a track gauge of approximately 2590 mm and a triple grouser shoe width of 600 mm, providing solid ground contact and maneuverability. Designed for operator comfort and productivity, the EC250D’s cab offers superior visibility, ergonomic controls, and enhanced safety features. Fuel efficiency improvements of 7-10% compared to previous models reduce operational costs. The machine is suited for quarrying, road construction, site preparation, and demolition tasks, balancing power, precision, and efficiency in demanding environments. The boom float option allows smooth grading and easier breakout tool control, adding to operational versatility.
