The 2023 Volvo EC290 at 2000 hours: What You Are Buying

Offered here is the 2023 Volvo EC290 at 2000 hours, a 29 Tons unit that has passed the HMP unit-specific inspection before listing. The file includes the hour-meter evidence, where available for the hour reading and date-stamped photos of every checked item. Buyers can view the machine live on video after your enquiry is reviewed and receive a written CIF quote for Nigeria, Kenya or the wider region within the same window.

Power Unit and Drivetrain Details

The Volvo EC290 is driven by the Volvo D7E developing 153 kW (205 HP). The power unit is listed against the OEM serial records, and the Tier 3 / China Stage III rating is documented in the file. The Full Hydrostatic layout is standard for the class, and the meter's 2000 hours reading is cross-checked by ECU scan during the audit. The inspection report logs the engine pressures and temperatures at running temperature.

Digging Performance: Depth, Reach and Breakout

The Volvo EC290 digs to 4.68 m and reaches 7.24 m at ground level, with 68 kN of bucket digging force on a hydraulic system running at 34.3 MPa. The 1.45 m³ bucket suits the standard production profile, and the swing speed of 11.5 rpm keeps cycle times short when trucks are staged close to the face. The hydraulic circuit is function-tested across the full range during the inspection, and the readings are attached to the report.

Track Running Gear: Shoes, Length and Pressure

Track figures for the Volvo EC290: 450 mm shoes, 3.65 m track length and 32 kPa ground pressure. The inspection records the undercarriage condition as Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes), with wear measurements photographed and dated. Track tension was set during the audit, and the rollers and idlers were checked for seal condition. The 29 Tons machine carries its mass on this running gear.
