The EC18 Electric Volvo excavator now has a straight boom option with a 10% higher pin height than the standard boom configuration.
On the EC18 Electric excavator, the straight boom option offers a 13-foot working height and can be equipped with a range of attachments weighing up to 450 pounds.
“Electric compact excavators’ lack of emissions and reduced noise have made them popular options for indoor demolition,” said Tony den Hoed, director of demolition strategic accounts, in a statement. “Contractors told us that a straight boom on the EC18 Electric would give them the extra height needed to reach ceilings while still easily fitting through doorways.”
