About our machine

Our Volvo EC18E (1.8T) Mini Digger is one of the most powerful machines of its size on the market, it’s functions operate independently of each other, which allow professionals and novices alike to get to grips with this machine very quickly and easily. This machine is a very popular choice with local builders, landscapers, developers, ground workers and even DIY enthusiasts.

The Volvo EC18E uses new dig-end geometry, providing extra reach, load-over height, and dig depth for class-leading excavation performance.

The large footprint area of the tracks offers exceptional stability without compromising access to confined areas. The digger arms can be accurately controlled, especially during precise lift and placing tasks.
