Compact Equipment
Compact
excavator
The Volvo
EC35C compact excavator features a conventional excavator design for
exceptional stability with minimal superstructure swing. The ECR48C has
a short radius superstructure that turns inside the width of its tracks.
It can also be equipped with an optional counterweight to maximize use
of longer arms or heavy attachments. Both machines are powered by
new-generation Volvo diesel engines. Simultaneous control of swing and
boom offset movement enables faster, precise performance. Blade float
allows for quick and easy backfilling, leveling and finish work. The
joystick control lever is equipped with an electronically proportional
roller, allowing the operator to accurately adjust hydraulic flow as
needed to the attachments.
