The EC20C compact excavator from Volvo Construction Equipment is powered by a Tier-4-compliant 16.2-hp diesel engine and offers a new cab and digging equipment design. The operator can now use an electro-proportional fingertip control on the joystick for swing and offset movement at the same time, enabling the EC20C excavator to deliver faster and more precise performance while reducing operator fatigue. The attachment circuit and offset function foot controls have been replaced by the joystick button — providing operators with more leg and foot room over previous designs. Maximum hydraulic oil flow for the first auxiliary circuit can now be set to adjust the maximum speed of a tilting ditching bucket. The adjustment is made from the right-hand joystick using the proportional roller and maximum flow switch. The EC20C meets or exceeds TOPS, ROPS and OPG1 standards of protection. www.volvo.com/constructionequipment/na/en-us/BAHome.htm
