Volvo EC20 Compact Excavator

Feb. 7, 2011

New to North America and the smallest machine in its line, the EC20 compact excavator weighs 4,277 pounds with cab. It is powered by a 16.2-horsepower Volvo three-cylinder Tier 4 engine with auto engine shutdown feature. Sporting the Volvo Care Cab, it offers a spacious operating environment and new electro-proportional fingertip control on the joystick that allows swing and offset movement at the same time. Maximum dig depth is 8 feet 4 inches, and the unit’s tail swing is 7 percent less than its predecessor.
