Latest from Babcock is the 21-tonne (t) Volvo EC210DL crawler excavator, which plugs the gap between the existing Volvo EC200D and EC220D models in the 20-t plus market segment. A major talking point is the machine’s ability to work with a range of attachments, making it the ultimate tool carrier and a go-to machine for different tasks on any site.
