Volvo introduces trio of short-swing excavators

Volvo’s launches at bauma included three new excavators with a short swing radius. The ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D are designed to be in their element in small, enclosed areas or for working within a single highway lane.

The new short-swing models are designed for restricted sites
2394 Volvo’s launches at 688 Bauma included three new excavators with a short swing radius.

The ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D are designed to be in their element in small, enclosed areas or for working within a single highway lane.

They offer digging performance, breakout and tear-out forces and lifting capabilities that rival their larger counterparts, said Volvo.

The smallest model, the ECR25D, is particularly easy to take to where it is needed. It can be transported with up to three buckets and a hydraulic breaker on a small trailer and still weigh less than 3.5tonnes, including the trailer. Operating weights for the three models range from 2.49tonnes to 9.5tonnes.

The short front/rear radius is well suited to working within a single highway lane, minimising disruption to the flow of traffic, said Volvo. This feature can sometimes be a prequalification condition on contracts.

The ECR58D and ECR88D feature a narrow body design and centrally positioned boom. Their superstructure on these ECR models is so compact that its rear swings within its track shoe, and the ECR25D only exceeds track-width when equipped with an additional counterweight. This allows the excavator can get extremely close to objects without risk of collision with the rear of the machine as it swings.

The ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D are available with a mono-boom – or an optional two-piece boom on the ECR88D – several arm configurations and blade for greater flexibility.

    The ALLU Screener Crusher D-series is divided into two main categories: screening and crushing and fine screening, and it is presenting a “new screening concept for bucket-type fine screening.” The company says that with the totally new screening design, wet materials can also be screened down to a fine fragment size such as 15 or 25mm minus, with high productivity. With the new design vaulting or bridging between the screening discs can be minimised.

    A truck-mounted concrete pump with five distributor mast arms for the 40m category, the SYG 5320 THB 42 with RZ5 placing boom has low-mounted roll fold and Z-fold. The model’s sturdy self-supporting basic frame has supporting arms at the front which have dual telescoping capability. The support can be swung out hydraulically at the rear and pivoted directly on the basic frame. This manoeuvre transfers the forces from the load torque of the placing boom directly to the rear supports, ensuring stable working

    Bell has introduced a 4x4 version of its B30D articulated dump truck (ADT). The machine has the front chassis, cab and engine of the standard 6x6 but comes with a shortened rear chassis and a single axle. According to Neville Paynter, managing director of Bell UK, the machine’s short wheelbase reduces the turning circle by around 25%, making it ideal for use in underground mining and on narrow benches.
