EC20 XTV Volvo excavator specs & dimensions (2000 - 2003)

A sturdy top chassis
The double-yoke pivot multiplies the bearing area on the chassis by two, allowing a long pin to be fitted for better distribution of stress and therefore less wear and less slackening.

COMPACT EXCAVATOR Ultra performance
With two travel speeds to save time on site, the EC20 is available with two undercarriage versions: - a 1200 mm wide fixed undercarriage provides good side stability - a variable width undercarriage 1000 through 1350 mm so that this exceptionally powerful machine can access tight locations.
Fast travelling to save time
The EC20 is equipped with two travel speeds, including a fast speed to accelerate machine travel on the terrain.
Variable-width under- carriage : two machines in one
