Features & Benefits

Fully equipped for breaker applications and supplied with a choice of breakers, with the EC500 Hammer you can get straight to work.

Packaged for performance

Get straight to work with EC500 Hammer, supplied with a choice of breakers, 200mm breaker tool and fully optimized pressure and flow settings within the Attachment Management System. The machine is equipped with an X1 auxiliary line and features a combine 2 pump flow as well as the extra cooling capacity needed to efficiently power hydraulic breakers. A heavy-duty counterweight, 100mm longer undercarriage and 600mm double grouser track shoes all combine to provide rock-solid machine stability.

Take on the tough stuff

Achieve optimum results even in the toughest working conditions thanks to the robust EC500 Hammer. Standard features including full track guard, 600mm double grouser track shoes, heavy-duty undercover, reinforced boom and arm, boom cylinder protection, FOPS and safety net mean the excavator is set-up to succeed when working in harsh breaker applications.

Enduring productivity

The machine is specifically designed to withstand the stresses and strains of breaker applications. Additional protection includes reinforced structures, pins and bushings, a rubber clamp for X1 and hydraulic piping, X1 return oil filter and increased diameter of the return lin.

Proven engine technology

The China IV compliant Volvo engine has been tried and tested throughout the world since 2014. With technology that has been tested, proven, and enhanced for almost 10 years, this is an engine which customers can rest assured will deliver outstanding levels of quality, reliability, and efficiency.

Do more for less

A range of features including electro-hydraulic system, ECO mode, auto-engine idle and auto-engine shutdown combine to deliver outstanding fuel efficiency. The intelligent new generation electro-hydraulic system provides on-demand flow and reduces internal losses in the hydraulic circuit, while the proven Volvo China IV compliant engine technology delivers impressively high torque at low rpm.

Keep uptime to a maximum thanks to convenient and straightforward service access.

Straightforward servicing

Quick and easy servicing helps keep uptime to a maximum, including grouped filters and greasing points. The single module cooler is also accessed from the ground level simply by opening the side door; with the radiator, charged air cooler and hydraulic oil cooler situated side-by-side. Operators and technicians can navigate the machine safely and easily thanks to anti-slip plates, handrails and guardrails.

Long service intervals

Reduce operating costs and boost uptime with long service intervals. 5,000 hour hydraulic oil and 2,500 hour hydraulic oil filter change intervals minimize disruption to your operation, helping you achieve uninterrupted productivity for longer.

Protected performance

Standard features including oil bath cleaner, oil filters, fuel filters and water separators help to keep the engine in top condition, securing long component life and performance which lasts. Engine durability and reliability is further enhanced by the intelligent delayed engine shutdown function, which turns the machine off when the turbo charger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature.

Long-lasting performance

A hydraulically-driven, electronically controlled cooling fan regulates the temperature of vital components, securing long-lasting performance. The fan will automatically activate only when required – minimizing noise and fuel consumption. The new, more reliable and durable, electric tandem pump provides more advanced control and improved efficiency.

Machine monitoring made easy

Maximize machine uptime and reduce repair costs with the new Pulse telematics system. Choose to keep track of your machine yourself – including location, condition, reports and more – or let us take care of it with Volvo Active Care. Our Volvo Uptime Center will provide 24/7 machine monitoring, supplying weekly reports and notifying you should preventive maintenance action be required.

With low noise, low vibration and best-in-class visibility – step inside the best cab on the market.

Industry-renowned cab

Step inside the best cab on the market. With low noise, low vibration and best-in-class visibility, operators will experience the ultimate in comfort and productivity. A convenient cab layout, air-suspended seat and ergonomic controls add to the unrivalled operator environment, all contributing towards an enhanced operator performance.

See it all

Operators benefit from all-around visibility thanks to the rear-view camera, further enhanced by the optional side-view camera or Volvo Smart View. The latter provides a real-time, overhead view of the machine, supporting a more confident machine rotation while working, especially in confined spaces.

The best mode for the job

Unique Volvo technology incorporates work modes within the throttle control, for optimum performance. When the operator selects a work mode – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power) – the rpm is already set for maximum efficiency.

Configured for convenience

Bluetooth connectivity and USB port will help operators feel right at home in the EC500 Hammer. For added convenience operators can choose a function to be easily controlled via a shortcut switch on the joystick.

Attachment Management System

The password protected attachment management system can store up to 20 different hydraulic attachments for ease of operation. The system lets you pre-set hydraulic flow, maximum pressure, one or two-way flow, push, toggle and/or proportional control through the in-cab monitor.
