Light work of tough jobs
A small machine packed with big features, the EC20E is designed to promote low operating costs. Built for durability and easy to service, this compact excavator will make light work of tough jobs.
EC20E
Small machine, big performance
Take performance to a new level, with a 13% increase in traction force and 6 878 lbs of combined digging forces. Add in the smooth combination of movements which make grading jobs easier, as well as the ability to work close to the blade, and completing tasks on site has never been quicker.
Small but tough
The unique high-profile counterweight design is made from three strong pieces of cast iron which wrap around the rear of the machine, protecting all vital components. All-around steel panels, recessed 0.4” from the counterweight, offer further protection.
Safety first
Safety is built-in to the machine with a ROPS/TOPS/FOPS/ cab and canopy, a large entrance including high visibility step, and an orange seatbelt as standard for easy checks by site managers.
The operator’s choice
The roomy and uncluttered cab is designed to keep operators comfortable and productive, while its flat floor makes it easy to keep clean. Superior visibility, simple layout of the controls, fingertip control and large travel pedals contribute towards the great ease of operation.
Best-in-class serviceability
Complete maintenance tasks with speed thanks to the hinged fuel tank which enables an impressive ease of access to the engine compartment, and easy to locate daily check points. A 50-hour greasing interval further contributes towards the best-in-class serviceability of this machine.
The ultimate all-rounder
Go where other machines cannot thanks to the compact design of the EC20E. Easy to operate and easy to transport, this 2t excavator is the perfect choice when a compact machine is right for your application.
EC20E
Compact by design
With a variable undercarriage that retracts to less than 39” and expands up to 53”, combined with a reduced machine height to less than 92”, you can count on the compact excavator to deliver superior performance when working in confined spaces. The machine design ensures that the right frame corner, swing post and cylinder stay within the tracks, resulting in maximum visibility and a reduced risk of machine damage when working alongside obstacles.
Transport with ease
Transportation of the machine is safe and secure, thanks to its light weight and convenient design. With automatic slew lock and four easily accessed large tie-down points on the upper frame, the machine can be safely transported on a small trailer with up to three buckets and a hydraulic breaker, while maintaining a total transport weight close to 2t.
Versatile performance
Take on many jobs with one machine thanks to a full range of purpose-built attachments, and change attachments quickly with the Volvo quick coupler. For further flexibility, the auxiliary hydraulic flows can be independently adjusted in each direction, ensuring optimal speed and control whatever hydraulic attachment you are working with. A second auxiliary line is also available as an option.
Perfect control
Experience precise, smooth and effortless command of the boom offset and auxiliary hydraulic flows with proportional fingertip controls. The easy-to-use joystick allows you to fine-tune the maximum hydraulic flow of any attachment to ensure ideal speed and power for any task.
