he new EC750D from Volvo Con-
struction Equipment (Volvo CE), avail-
able in southern Africa from Babcock,
combines a robust design with a powerful
engine for enhanced performance and a
lower total cost of ownership when working
in a range of heavy-duty applications.
The EC750D crawler excavator is built to de-
liver superior productivity and efficiency in
a variety of heavy construction applications,
particularly quarrying and mining. Equipped
with a new Volvo D16 Tier 3 engine, the
EC750D provides increased horsepower
and fuel efficiency in combination with a
robust design to ensure a low total cost of
ownership. The powerful engine works in
harmony with an improved, Volvo-designed
electro-hydraulic system, which uses intelli-
gent technology to control on-demand flow
and reduce internal losses in the hydraulic
circuit.
This machine incorporates Volvo’s unique
integrated work mode system, through
which operators can choose from a range of
modes for optimum performance. When the
operator selects the best work mode for the
task at hand – I (idle), F (fine), G (General), H
(Heavy) and P (Power) – the rpm is already
set for maximum efficiency. The machines
also include larger buckets for faster and
more efficient on-site production.
A comfortable, low noise cab with easy ac-
cess via a wide door opening has an adjust-
able seat that increases operator efficiency.
Volvo’s industry-leading cab has excellent
all-round visibility from large expanses of
front and side glass with slim cab pillars and
the spacious environment provides ample
storage and leg room.
The EC750D is equipped with efficient tech-
nology to ensure outstanding digging force
in any application. With improved stability,
tractive force and Volvo’s unique ECO mode,
this machine offers improved cycle times for
outstanding performance.
This excavator’s constant high system pres-
sure delivers greater digging force and re-
duces cycle times, particularly when work-
ing with hard and heavy materials. For more
power, better productivity and increased
manoeuvrability, the high system pressure
and durable track ensure impressive tractive
force when climbing gradients and travelling
over unstable ground. A wider track gauge
and heavier counterweight improve stability
even when working in challenging environ-
ments.
The Volvo hydraulic system leads to a pow-
erful combined pump flow to the bucket
for smooth operation, improved cycle time
and increased fuel efficiency. The optional
boom float delivers more control, minimizes
operation costs and maximizes uptime. In
addition, the ECO Mode optimises the hy-
draulic system to reduce flow and pressure
losses. It is automatically selected but can
be switched off via the keypad.
Built with durable Volvo components, a rein-
forced structure and undercover protection,
the EC750D has been designed to last. Ro-
