Whether general construction, trenching, or even quarrying – the EC260 is a versatile machine built for hard work across a wide range of applications. With enhanced machine access, superior visibility, increased service intervals and improved fuel efficiency, this excavator delivers all the safety, comfort, reliability and performance you would expect from a Volvo machine.
In the Volvo excavators an electro-hydraulic system reduces your fuel consumption dramatically. It is done by regulating engine speed and hydraulic flow rate based on the task at hand. This ensures that only the necessary amount of energy is used, leading to improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
The Volvo excavator helps you get more done for less. It’s a simple equation but one that delivers big results on the jobsite, and to your bottom line. The advanced technology reduces operator fatigue and increases efficiency by automating boom and bucket movements, enabling precise digging with minimal input. The result is faster and smoother work with more accuracy and shorter cycle times.
Nothing is better for reducing downtime than no downtime at all. Volvo excavators boast some of the longest service intervals in the industry, with 1000-hour engine oil, hydraulic oil and fuel filter changes to mention a few. More synchronized service intervals (all 1000-hour multiples) further increase uptime and reduce costs. Here are four more service highlights:
