Volvo EC200E vs EC220E:
Which excavator is right for me? Volvo Construction Equipment offers two crawler excavator models in the 20-25 tonne class – the EC200E and the EC220E. Making the right choice between them will ensure the minimum total cost of ownership and maxi- mum profitability.
Both the Volvo EC200E and EC220E crawler excavators are high- quality machines with comfortable cabs and easy serviceability that would make a welcome addition to any construction fleet. However, there are notable differences – particularly in power and capacity.
Jörg Breuer, Product Manager for crawler excavators at
Volvo CE, says; “In some cases, the EC220E may be overspecified for the task in hand, in which case a customer would be paying for more than they actually need.”

With an operating weight of 23.1 tonnes (machine with standard specification), the Volvo EC220E is a heavy-duty machine suitable for all manner of applications from building, utility and heavy infrastructure work, to mining, demolition and recycling. At
21.6.tonees (machine with standard specification), the EC200E is a lighter machine, but that does not mean it cannot work successfully in a quarry or demolition site, too. “It all depends on the specific tasks and number of operating hours the machine has to complete on the job site – as well as whether you are getting paid by the hour or for the entire project,” Breuer explains.
