Volvo CE Creates Demolition Giant with Its Largest High-Reach Excavator

The Volvo EC950 High Reach is a revolutionary new excavator designed specifically for high-stress demolition environments. Built to meet Volvo Ultra High Reach (UHR) stability criteria, this machine delivers stability even when operating with heavy attachments and extended reach. The durable undercarriage and purpose-built upper frame provide the strength and durability required for such demanding jobsites.

This is combined with a specially developed ring gear able to withstand enormous forces created by the machine's size. The EC950 High Reach features a comprehensive suite of demolition-specific features designed to improve operator comfort, enhance visibility, and increase jobsite safety. Real-time safety monitoring is delivered through the Volvo total moment indicator (TMI), while Volvo Smart View cameras with optional obstacle detection enhance safety for operators and site teams.

The high-visibility cab is fitted with polycarbonate windows and a frame-mounted falling object guard (FOG) to protect operators from falling debris. Additionally, features like undercover protection, full track guards, and boom and bucket cylinder protectors further safeguard critical machine components. CareTrack standard telematics and ActiveCare Direct advanced telematics provide real-time machine health data and predictive maintenance alerts to keep fleets productive and protected.

The cab is designed for comfort with an integrated heating and air conditioning system, a fully adjustable ergonomic seat, and hydraulic dampening mounts to reduce shock and noise levels. An integrated dust suppression and cleaning system also helps control airborne dust and keeps components clean during operation. With its impressive size and intelligent design, the EC950 High Reach enables customers to achieve outstanding results on the largest and most challenging demolition projects.
