BIG PERFORMANCE Experience larger machine performance in a compact unit with Volvo Construction Equipment's ECR25D short-swing-radius compact excavator, which weighs just 2.5 tons but achieves a greater breakout force than the 2.8-ton ECR28 it replaces. With an 8,453-pound combined breakout and tear out force, the ECR25D is useful for a range of applications in confined areas. Powered by a Tier 4 Interim 20.9-horsepower engine, the machine offers a combination of performance and fuel efficiency, which is also enhanced by an optional auto-idling system that reduces engine speed after five seconds of inactivity. An advanced hydraulic system ensures digging performance, and a flow sharing main control valve delivers fast cycle times. To address operator comfort, Volvo outfitted the ECR25D with an ergonomic cab that includes a large access area, ensuring operators can get in and out without bumping the controls. Cab features include an adjustable seat, ergonomic armrests, large hydraulic travel pedals and operator-friendly controls. Slew and offset movements are controlled simultaneously with a proportional roller and joystick, and an automatic two-speed travel function allows downshifting when required. Safety is ensured via excellent visibility of the blade, attachment and tracks, and a three-point entry and roll-over protection system. CAPABLE CRAWLER CRANE Perform a variety of general lifting duties as well as specialty applications with Link-Belt's TCC750 telescopic crawler crane, launched at this year's ICUEE show in Louisville. Useful for foundation work, bridge building, rail construction, power transmission lines and the oil and gas sector, the crane can also include a hydraulically powered earth auger or work platform. Available in the second quarter of 2014, the 70- to 80-ton crane features a 2014 Tier 4 final engine package; a four-section, full-power formed boom that has a 121-foot max tip height; a quick reeve boom head; lightweight nylon head sheaves that reduce weight and a hammerhead boom nose that enables the operator to work at high boom angles. Link-Belt's "A" boom mode offers increased capacity for short radii, and the standard mode extends all four sections equally for extended reach. Safety features include upper guard rails and a rear-view and winch-view camera system. Sealed lower EW and hydraulically retractable side frames ensure quick transport with the tracks attached.
