The EC20D from Volvo Construction Equipment is powered by a D0.9A Tier 4 Final engine, pushing 16.3 hp with increased fuel efficiency with an optional auto engine shutdown feature. An auto-idling system switches engine speed to idle if the machine’s controls are inactive for more than five seconds. It has a breakout force of 4,107 ft-lbs, with a tear-out force of 2,763 ft-lbs. Its max reach is 14 feet, with a max digging depth of 8.4 feet and a max dumping height of 9.2 feet. Maximum lifting capacity is rated at 1,195 pounds at ground level with the blade down. In-cab flow adjustment allows operators to match attachment speed to what the job necessitates. The cab has a wide door, and ample noise and vibration insulation. Visibility is enhanced thanks to the machine’s boom design, offset slightly to the left. A fingertip roller gives operators precise boom offset and attachment use. 828/650-2000; www.volvo.com/constructionequipment
