EC220D
XL 3200 III
250X3
Volvo Construction Equipment
Ranging from 14 to 28 metric tons, Volvo's EC140D,
EC160D and EC220D are up to 14 percent more fuel effi -
cient than their predecessors. An automatic two-speed shift
travel motor powers each track, which feature standard
greased and sealed track chains. Components are easily
serviced by opening a rear access door located behind the
cab of the EC140D and EC160D. The machine automati-
cally matches conditions to one of four work modes: I for
idle, F for fi ne, G for general and H for heavy.

LBX Link-Belt
Powered by a 177-horsepower Isuzu engine, the
55,000-pound LBX Link-Belt 250 X3 has a maximum dig
depth of 22 feet 8 inches and a 39,120-foot-pound bucket
dig force. The machine's Fuel Management System controls
consumption by lowering rpms during activities such as
boom lowering and swing. In combination with auto idle,
this system reduces fuel consumption by up to 10 percent.
In the cab, a 7-inch LED color monitor shows critical ma-
chine parameters; a rear-view camera is standard.

19,300 pounds, the machine can
handle both high production jobs
