EC55B Pro Volvo excavator specs & dimensions (2003 - 2009)

Power where you need it
The EC55B Pro features a larger lift cylinder and increased hydraulic system pressure for greater lifting force and higher productivity. The high quality hydraulic system is available up to heavy, long cycle tests with reliability for the daily attack of your work. Increased hydraulic pressure in the auxiliary line increases attachment performance, faster cycle times and better operating economy.
We're strong and stable
The EC55B Pro offers an improved conventional design for more digging performance. The larger, longer counterweight ensures increased balance and lifting force. The combination of increased hydraulic pressure and a heavier counterweight boosts slope swinging for fast cycle times during incline work. For higher reliability and greater resale value, boom support resistance has been enhanced by a large 80 mm pin diameter and an additional bushing.
