Features & Benefits

The EC650 is the perfect partner for wide-body 70-tonne trucks, reducing the number of required passes and dramatically improving cycle times.

Dig fast, load more

The EC650 shortens cycle times, with high digging forces and lifting capacity and coming with a range of optimum-sized buckets. Featuring impressive engine power, this excavator delivers superior swing torque and speed for high productivity.

Built for the toughest tasks

The perfect choice for handling heavy loads in the toughest applications, the EC650 features a durable undercarriage with a long lower frame, a strong upper frame, and reinforced digging equipment with large pin size. The optional wider retractable lower frame provides further stability and higher ground clearance.

Cut fuel costs thanks to the electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology, a pioneering innovation from Volvo.

Independent metering valve technology

The most advanced hydraulic system in the industry, the electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology (IMVT) produces an up to 22% improvement in fuel efficiency. It also provides intelligent electronic control with more control variable, compared to a conventional mechanically coupled hydraulic system. The result is maximum control and efficiency, according to the specific application at hand. Engine pump optimization, which lowers engine rpm while maximizing power, and enhanced hydraulic piping and size routings, further contribute towards incredible levels of fuel efficiency.

Step inside the best cab on the market, equipped with a 14 air vent climate control system and ergonomic seat with adjustment settings.

Comfort, control, safety

Whether working inside or on the machine, you can be sure that the highest levels of control, comfort and safety have been considered in every design detail of the EC650.

Best-in-class visibility

Operators benefit from outstanding visibility thanks to the rearview camera and LED lighting positioned throughout the machine. Furthermore, the optional Volvo Smart View system gives operators a 360° birds-eye-view of the machine and working area.

Work with confidence

A host of features combine to help operators work with confidence, including a travel alarm, which alerts those around the machine when it is moving. Furthermore, a swing lock switch restricts the swing function while the machine is moving, and the hydraulic cut-off lever disables machine controls when lowered. Finally, an accumulator secures smooth boom lowering in case of emergency.

Ultimate control on the job

Welcome to the ultimate in operator control and convenience. The revolutionary new generation electro-hydraulics with Independant Metering Valve Technology enables a range of intelligent functions including Boom/Swing and Boom/Travel priority, adjustable boom down speed, as well as boom and arm bouncing reduction.

Straightforward servicing

Servicing is made quick and easy by grouped filters and a battery cut-off switch, which ensures complete disengagement of the equipment. Features such as high visibility guardrails and handrails, 3-point right-hand access to the upper structure, bolted anti-slip plates and optional walkway ensure the highest levels of convenience when handling the machine.

Hydraulic pilot lines have been removed in the EC650, reducing the number of couplings required, for increased machine reliability. Electric connectors which exceed Ingress Protection 6K9K water-proofed standards also contribute to long component life.

Up to the challenge

The EC650 is ready to rise to the challenge across the most demanding conditions, with a number of features and services which contribute to outstanding reliability, reduced maintenance requirements and maximum uptime.

Engine protection

Keep the engine clean and performing at its best – especially when working in dusty conditions – with the oil bath pre-cleaner. What is more, the delayed engine shutdown helps to keep the turbocharger in top condition by turning the engine off only after the turbocharger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature.

Take on the tropics

Handle the heat with the tropical cooling system, designed to regulate hydraulic oil temperature when working in tropical conditions.

PSR telematics system: easy machine monitoring

PSR allows you to manage your fleet more efficiently and maximize productivity via real time tracking, full machine running status, geo/time fence management, machine utilization reports and maintenance alerts and messages – all accessed through PULSE or the Volvo Construction Equipment app.
