The EC550E provides the levels of durability and performance more commonly expected from a 60-tonne machine, making it the perfect choice for heavy-duty digging, mass excavation and large site preparation. The EC550E provides the levels of durability and performance more commonly expected from a 60-tonne machine, making it the perfect choice for heavy-duty digging, mass excavation and large site preparation. Boasting superb operator comfort, outstanding levels of uptime, new generation electro-hydraulics, a 20% increase in productivity and 25% improvement in fuel efficiency – this machine raises the bar for what a 50-tonne machine can achieve.
The 50-tonne excavator truly punches above its weight, delivering the digging forces and lifting capacity more commonly found in a 60-tonne machine. Featuring the highest engine power in its class, the machine delivers superior swing torque and tractive force.
Take fuel efficiency to new levels in the EC550E. The next generation electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology produces up to a 25% improvement in fuel efficiency. Engine pump optimization, which lowers engine rpm while optimizing power, and optimized hydraulic piping and size routings, further contribute towards the incredible levels of fuel efficiency.
Operators can easily select and adjust a number of functions depending on personal preferences and the task at hand, including Boom/Swing and Boom/Travel priority which enables prioritization of one function over another. Operators can also easily adjust the boom down speed, ideal for precision tasks which require optimum control.
