uptime and keep maintenance to a minimum to reduce operating costs. Volvo’s tried and tested components have proven to be reliable even in the toughest applications, delivering maximum uptime. The reinforced heavy-duty boom and arm are built from high strength tensile steel to increase reliability, even in severe ap- plications. Steel strips are welded under the arm to further increase protection. The reinforced upper and lower frames are built to withstand tougher conditions for improved durability and reliability. The strengthened idler frame, track links and bottom rollers are designed and built for constant impact. Built-in heavy-duty plates provide additional protection to the under- side of the machine to prevent damage from rocks and debris. Grouped filters and an electric distribution box are easily accessed via the wide-opening compartment doors and walkways. Greasing points can be accessed in one machine po- sition.

To ensure increased productivity and profit- ability, the EC750D works in harmony with a range of durable Volvo buckets and at- tachments. The machine can be fitted with Volvo’s heavy-duty bucket, built using wear resistant plates, which excels at digging compact materials including loose rock, hard clay and gravel – perfect for quarrying and mining applications. The machine can be equipped with a pass- word-protected attachment management system, allowing for storage of up to 20 different attachments. The system allows the operator to pre-set hydraulic flow and pressure inside the cab through the moni- tor, which ensures the use of various attach- ments for increased versatility. A wide range of Genuine Volvo wear parts are offered with the machine to protect the entire bucket, in- cluding teeth, adapter, segments, side cutter and shroud. “The predecessor to the EC750D – the EC700CL – has proved to be an extremely popular machine due to its reliability, high

production capabilities and low fuel burn. We have over 140 of these units in the field,” says Dave Vaughan, Sales and Marketing Director for Babcock Equipment. “We are ex- tremely excited about the introduction of the EC750D. Digging force has been improved by 9 % compared to the EC700, and with a weight increase of 4 %, engine output in- creased by 11 % and productivity increased by a massive 14 %, the EC750D is sure to be an absolute winner.”
