Features and benefits for EC500 Electric
24/7 productivity
Lower your cost per ton with the EC500 Electric, designed for round-the-clock productivity. The Volvo excavator is powered via a cable connection, meaning it is ready to load, swing and dump 24/7. This makes the EC500 Electric the perfect solution for cost-effective and clean operations in applications which do not require the machine to move, such as river port material handling.
Powered to perform
Take uptime to a new level thanks to a continuous power connection, meaning there is no need to recharge or refuel. The well-protected power cable comes from the ground and connects to the machine under the superstructure, providing a safe, durable and convenient power connection.
Control and comfort
Operators benefit from a user-friendly dashboard and monitor, providing easy monitoring of factors such as motor speed and electric power consumption. Operator experience is enhanced further with a heated and suspended seat, and with outstanding visibility thanks to a flat machine hood, rear view camera and LED lights.
Faster cycle times
Take advantage of faster cycles times thanks to the immediate torque provided by electric power, outperforming its diesel counterparts. The result is more responsive hydraulics for improved operator comfort and productivity.
Serviceability
Lower your maintenance costs and give uptime a boost with the maintenance-free electric motor, benefitting from the absence of any engine-related components. When maintenance actions are required, they can be completed with speed and ease thanks to ground level access to the pump and cooling module/EDB. The newly designed electric control cabinet is positioned on the side of the upper frame, just one step away.
A cleaner choice, a smarter investment
A move to an electric machine can reduce energy-related costs by as much as 50%, thanks to the more cost-effective nature of electricity as a power source compared to fuel. What’s more, the electric motor is around 99% efficient and no energy is used when the machine is neither moving nor working, helping to additionally save on energy consumption and wear.
30% less maintenance
There are no engine-related consumables such as engine oil, filters and water separator, resulting in 30% less maintenance requirements for Volvo electric machines – dramatically reducing downtime and costs.
New business horizons
Open up new opportunities for your business with a low noise and zero-tailpipe emissions machine like the EC500 Electric. Noise sensitive areas, indoors and in low carbon zones – these are all places an electric machine can work, where a diesel alternative cannot. Electric powered solutions are also capable of working during unsociable hours thanks to their near silence.
A better way to work
Experience a better place to work, both in-cab and on site, due to the significant reduction in noise, vibration and heat, as well as the absence of exhaust fumes – helping operators and site workers to remain alert and productive throughout the working day. What’s more, a quieter jobsite supports clear and easy communication for improved teamwork and safety on site.
Configured your way
Rise to the specific challenges of your sector thanks to a range of machine options and attachments, including Fall Over Protective Structure (FOPS), One-piece safety net, Double grouser track shoes, Full track guard and Heavy Duty bucket.
