The EC560 is set to join Volvo CE’s modernised excavator series shortly, bridging a gap between existing size classes. The 56-tonner combines the operator-centric design of the new generation — including a completely reimagined cab and Human Machine Interface (HMI) — with the robust durability required for mass excavation and material transport, Volvo says.
“We’re excited to give Conexpo attendees the very first look at our EC560,” said Sejong Ko, product manager for large excavators at Volvo 萝莉原创 Equipment. “This model is a direct response to customer demand for a machine that offers the size and strength for heavy production work along with the finesse, fuel efficiency and comfort of our next-gen platform. It’s a great example of how we’re growing this series to meet every challenge our customers face.”
While full details will be released closer to its launch, the EC560 excavator targets top-tier performance in its weight class with a 4.6 cubic metre bucket and 3% more digging force, 10% more swing torque and a heavier counterweight, Ko said.
