About · Volvo EC220

Overview

The Volvo EC220 is a 22-tonne class hydraulic excavator produced since 2015, positioned in the mid-size segment of the construction equipment market. It delivers 173 hp and a bucket capacity of 1.2 m3, placing it in a weight and power bracket suited to demanding civil and groundworks applications. The machine reflects Volvo's established lineage in European excavator production and remains in current production.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

The EC220 class is well suited to earthmoving, foundation work, utility trenching, and bulk material handling on medium to large construction sites. Machines of this size are also regularly deployed in quarry stripping, road building, and demolition support roles. The 22-tonne operating weight and 1.2 m3 bucket capacity give contractors sufficient productivity for high-cycle digging without the infrastructure demands of larger equipment.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should commission a full pre-purchase inspection covering undercarriage wear, hydraulic hose and cylinder condition, and boom or arm crack checks at high-stress weld points. Service history continuity is a primary value indicator for machines of this class, and buyers should verify filter and fluid records against the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Inspection of the slew ring, track tension, and final drives is standard practice for 22-tonne excavators. Where possible, a one-hour dynamic test should be conducted to assess hydraulic response, swing bearing play, and travel motor performance before committing to purchase.

Current market

Price position

In the European used market, the EC220 carries an average asking price of EUR 82,903, with a typical transaction range running from EUR 75,900 to EUR 92,500. This positions the model competitively against comparable alternatives in the 20-tonne class, including the JCB JS220 and Hitachi ZX210, both of which occupy similar price territory for equivalent specification and age. Buyers should expect pricing within the upper part of the range for low-hour, recent-year examples in full working order.
