Features & Benefits

Maximum productivity, maximum efficiency; the EC650 delivers fast cycle times, improved digging performance and up to 22% more fuel efficiency.

Get the job done, efficiently

Maximum productivity, maximum efficiency; the EC650 delivers fast cycle times, improved digging performance and up to 22% more fuel efficiency.

Dig more, load more

The EC650 is the perfect partner for a 40-45-tonne tipper truck, filling the body in just 6 passes and dramatically improving cycle times. Digging performance is increased with increased cylinder size, auto power boost and 2-pump flow bucket circuit for improved hydraulic power and speed available to the bucket. This is combined with outstanding lifting capacity, impressive engine power, superior swing torque and speed, and a new larger bucket capacity – all contributing to the outstanding productivity of the EC650.

Outstanding fuel efficiency

Benefit from outstanding fuel efficiency, [MV2.1][NP2.2]thanks to the new electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology, another pioneering innovation from Volvo. The most advanced hydraulic system in the industry, the electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology (IMVT) delivers intelligent electronic control and more variable flow than conventional mechanically coupled hydraulic systems. The result is maximum efficiency and control, fine-tuned to match the demands of the task at hand.

Efficient technology

A host of other features contribute to the outstanding fuel efficiency of the EC650, including engine pump optimization, which lowers engine rpm while maximizing power, and enhanced hydraulic piping and size routings.

Be sure of the highest levels of control, comfort and safety for those working inside and outside of the machine.

Comfort, control and safety

Be sure of the highest levels of control, comfort and safety for those working inside and outside of the machine.

Work in comfort

Step inside the best cab on the market, equipped with a 14-air vent climate control system and ergonomic seat with adjustment settings.

Best-in-class visibility

Operators benefit from outstanding visibility thanks to the rearview camera and LED lighting positioned throughout the machine. What’s more, the optional Volvo Smart View system gives operators a 360° birds-eye-view for an enhanced view of both the machine and its surroundings.

Operator confidence and peace of mind

Operators can work confidently and with peace of mind thanks to a host of features including a travel alarm which alerts those around the machine when it is moving. A swing lock switch disables the swing function during travel, while the hydraulic cut-off lever stops machine controls when lowered. In emergencies, an accumulator ensures smooth, safe boom lowering.

Ultimate control

The EC650 boasts the ultimate in operator control and convenience. Experience total control with the next-generation electro-hydraulic system featuring Independent Metering Valve Technology. Operators benefit from intelligent functions like Boom/Swing and Boom/Travel priority, adjustable boom down speed, and boom/arm bounce reduction – all designed for smoother, smarter performance.

Servicing in safety

Servicing is made quick, safe and easy by grouped filters and a battery cut-off switch, which ensures complete disengagement of the equipment. Features such as high visibility guardrails and handrails, 3-point right-hand access to the upper structure, bolted anti-slip plates and walkway ensure the highest levels of convenience when handling the machine.

With outstanding durability and robust design, the EC650 features a host of new and existing features, able to rise to the challenge of the most demanding conditions.

Up to the challenge

Built to thrive in the most demanding conditions, the durable undercarriage is reinforced to a level more commonly found in a 70-tonne machine. Long lower frame, strong upper frame and reinforced digging equipment with large pin size further make the EC650 the perfect choice for handling heavy loads in the toughest applications. A wider retractable lower frame provides further stability and higher ground clearance.

Reliability you can count on

The EC650 is designed to boost reliability, reduce maintenance and maximize uptime. Hydraulic pilot lines have been removed in the EC650, reducing the number of couplings required, for increased machine reliability. Electric connectors which exceed Ingress Protection 6K9K water-proofed standards also contribute to long component life.

Engine protection

Keep the engine clean and performing at its best – especially when working in dusty conditions – with the oil bath pre-cleaner. The delayed engine shutdown also helps to keep the turbocharger in top condition by only turning the engine off once the turbocharger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature.

Handle the heat

The tropic cooling system is designed to regulate hydraulic oil temperature when working in extreme heat, ensuring optimum machine reliability and performance even in the hottest environments.

CareTrack telematics

With CareTrack, the Volvo telematics system, you can get remote access to essential information regarding the location and operating hours of your machine. Powerful data including real time tracking, full machine running status, geo/time fence management, machine utilization reports and maintenance alerts and messages help you stay informed, make better decisions and stay ahead of unscheduled downtime.
