48Ton Used Volvo EC480 Mining Excavator

The used Volvo EC480 excavator stands as a heavyweight champion in large-scale industrial operations, acclaimed for its rugged advantages and specialized applications that cater to high-intensity work demands.​

Exceptional heavy-duty durability is its hallmark. The entire structure—from the reinforced boom and arm to the extra-strong undercarriage—utilizes premium quenched and tempered steel, engineered to resist extreme stress in scenarios like hard-rock mining, deep foundation digging, and long-duration continuous operation. Even with years of heavy use, used units maintain structural integrity, minimizing costly downtime from wear or damage.​

Power and efficiency are game-changing. Equipped with a high-output turbocharged diesel engine, it delivers 35% more torque than the EC360, effortlessly handling tasks like breaking concrete or excavating compacted soil. Advanced energy-saving technology, including intelligent load sensing and adaptive ECO mode, reduces fuel consumption by 16-22% compared to rival heavy excavators, blending brute force with economic operation.​

Its uses are tailored for large-scale projects. In mining, it excels at ore extraction and overburden removal with its 2.5-3.0m³ bucket. For infrastructure construction, it tackles deep excavation (up to 9 meters) for bridges, tunnels, and high-rise foundations. It’s also indispensable for large-scale demolition and bulk material handling in ports or industrial yards, thanks to precise hydraulic controls and stable operation.​

Backed by Volvo’s global service and parts network, used EC480s offer reliable maintenance support, ensuring strong value retention. It’s the go-to choice for mining firms, large contractors, and industrial operators seeking heavy-duty performance.
