Performance
Tough jobs demand a machine that can dig into the job at hand and keep coming back for more. The model EC55B Pro has one of the highest breakout and tear-out forces in its class. And because it’s easy to service, you’ll be assured that it will always be ready to dig into your work.
Start your engines
The model EC55B Pro features a proven 16-valve, 37 kW Volvo engine for power, performance and low fuel consumption. And the machine is built to dig, offering impressive bucket dig forces.
Precise, smooth movement
The dipper motion is extremely fast for more productive cycle times. The optional long dipper arm provides even greater performance. In addition, the Total Power Control Hydraulic System provides total independence of movement for smooth, productive work cycles.
Power where you need it
The EC55B Pro features a larger size lift cylinder and increased hydraulic system pressure for greater lifting capacity and increased productivity.
The high quality hydraulic system stands up to severe, long cycle testing with reliability for the daily assault of your work. Increased hydraulic pressure in the auxiliary line adds greater attachment performance, faster cycle times and better operating economy.
A versatile approach
There’s a standard double-acting circuit for use with hydraulic equipment such as breakers and augers. The exclusive Volvo quick release coupling makes it easy to change buckets or attachments without leaving the cab
· Powerful 16-valve STEP 2/TIER 2 Volvo engine.
· Two-stage air filtration system eliminates need for pre-air cleaner and helps increase engine life.
· Larger lift cylinder for a greater lift capacity.

Economy

Like all Volvo machines, the EC55B Pro is robustly built, even for the most punishing conditions.
A sturdy, rigid design
The center of the undercarriage is X-shaped for better load distribution and sturdier operation in extreme conditions. The undercarriage is also very long for incredible stability, performance and comfort.
The blade cylinder and the connections are well protected. The anti-vibration tracks provide smooth travel even at higher speeds. The counterweight is rounded and wraps around the sides to protect the engine cover, which is set back from the counterweight to protect it even more.
We're strong and stable
The EC55B Pro offers an enhanced conventional design for greater digging performance. The larger, longer counterweight provides increased balance and lift capacity. The combination of increased hydraulic pressure and a heavier counterweight increases slope swing for fast cycle times during slope work.
For increased reliability and a higher resale value, boom support strength has been increased through a large 80 mm pin diameter and an additional bushing. This provides extra surface contact and greater shock absorption. 
In addition, the instrument panel has a monitoring system that shuts off the engine in case of a major problem.
· X-shaped undercarriage.
· Double-yoke pivot increases strength and reduces wear.
· Two-stage air filtration system eliminates need for pre-air cleaner and helps increase engine life.
