VOLVO EC700C CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Volvo EC700C is a heavy-duty crawler excavator engineered for demanding applications including mass excavation, production trenching, rock-face stripping, and quarry loading. This machine features a robust Volvo D16E EAE3 diesel engine delivering 346 kW (464 hp) gross power at 1,800 rpm, providing exceptional torque at low engine speeds for efficient material movement. The EC700C operates at an impressive 69,300 to 71,700 kg (154,350 lbs) with a bucket capacity ranging from 1.99 to 5.16 cubic meters, making it suitable for high-volume production work. The excavator's hydraulic system is intelligently designed with integrated work mode control, prioritizing boom, arm, and swing functions for responsive digging and precision handling. With a maximum digging reach of 13,170 mm (43.3 feet) and digging depth of 8,400 mm (27.6 feet), the EC700C achieves exceptional working range flexibility. The machine delivers breakout forces of 276 kN in normal mode and 301 kN in boost mode, with corresponding tear-out forces of 254 kN and 278 kN respectively. The Volvo V-ACT (Advanced Combustion Technology) engine provides outstanding fuel efficiency and prevents engine stalling through onboard computer load balancing. The undercarriage features a robust X-shaped frame with greased and sealed track chains, while the superstructure incorporates robotically-welded components for durability under extreme stress. Additional features include a maximum swing speed of 6.7 rpm, lifting capacity of 19,750 kg along the undercarriage, and a maximum drawbar pull of 453 kN, positioning this model as a reliable powerhouse for professional excavation operations.
