The designers of the new VOLVO ECR58 model decided to combine all solutions proven in the industry into one. The 6-tonne ECR58 mini excavator reaches its full potential.
Volvo Construction Machinery ensures that the ECR58 cab is “the best in the market for operator in terms of comfort levels.” The cabin is properly soundproofed, it also has a number of useful storage compartments, as well as access to a 12 V socket and a USB port. The front window can be fully opened and the side window can be moved to improve visibility from all sides. Volvo ECR58 also has an easy-to-use 5-inch color display. The VOLVO ECR58 mini excavator is an incredible comfort for the operator. While the machine is “even more compact”, the cabin does not lose its size. On the contrary – it is very spacious. This model features a simplified control panel and convenient control.
Safe multitasking
The new model of the mini excavator from VOLVO has a wide range of attachments tailored specifically to the construction of this machine. These include hammers, spoons, thumbs or the new Tilt Quick Coupler. The operation of hydraulic attachments is possible thanks to the elements of proportional control that can be operated with fingers. With the new modes, it’s also easy to change flow settings. When the operator presses the work mode button, he will be taken to a menu where he can adapt the mini excavator to the mounted equipment. It is worth mentioning that operators can create up to 20 tool profiles in the library, including setting a wide set of parameters.
Intelligent operation functions
The VOLVO Ec58 mini excavator offers, above all, excellent stability, tear-out and breakout force, as well as excellent lifting capacity. They favor a short work cycle, even for the most difficult tasks. According to Volvo Construction Machines – “a number of intelligent functions work together to (…) reduce fuel consumption”. The machine has an ECO mode and automatic engine idling. As a result, fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 10%, and automatic switching eliminates unnecessary consumption.
The automatic engine shutdown feature means that not worked hours are not recorded. This not only reduces machine maintenance costs, but also affects its resale value. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the designers removed some maintenance and doubled some of the service intervals.
