uptime and keep maintenance to a minimum
to reduce operating costs. Volvo’s tried
and tested components have proven to be
reliable even in the toughest applications,
delivering maximum uptime.
The reinforced heavy-duty boom and arm
are built from high strength tensile steel
to increase reliability, even in severe ap-
plications. Steel strips are welded under
the arm to further increase protection.
The reinforced upper and lower frames
are built to withstand tougher conditions
for improved durability and reliability. The
strengthened idler frame, track links and
bottom rollers are designed and built for
constant impact. Built-in heavy-duty plates
provide additional protection to the under-
side of the machine to prevent damage
from rocks and debris.
Grouped filters and an electric distribution
box are easily accessed via the wide-opening
compartment doors and walkways. Greasing
points can be accessed in one machine po-
sition.
To ensure increased productivity and profit-
ability, the EC750D works in harmony with
a range of durable Volvo buckets and at-
tachments. The machine can be fitted with
Volvo’s heavy-duty bucket, built using wear
resistant plates, which excels at digging
compact materials including loose rock, hard
clay and gravel – perfect for quarrying and
mining applications.
The machine can be equipped with a pass-
word-protected attachment management
system, allowing for storage of up to 20
different attachments. The system allows
the operator to pre-set hydraulic flow and
pressure inside the cab through the moni-
tor, which ensures the use of various attach-
ments for increased versatility. A wide range
of Genuine Volvo wear parts are offered with
the machine to protect the entire bucket, in-
cluding teeth, adapter, segments, side cutter
and shroud.
“The predecessor to the EC750D – the
EC700CL – has proved to be an extremely
popular machine due to its reliability, high
production capabilities and low fuel burn. We
have over 140 of these units in the field,”
says Dave Vaughan, Sales and Marketing
Director for Babcock Equipment. “We are ex-
tremely excited about the introduction of the
EC750D. Digging force has been improved
by 9 % compared to the EC700, and with
a weight increase of 4 %, engine output in-
creased by 11 % and productivity increased
by a massive 14 %, the EC750D is sure to be
an absolute winner.”
