Volvo Group Korea Launches Main Equipment for High-Rise Demolition in Korea

'EC750EHR' Capable of Working at 36m Height

Construction machinery company Volvo Group Korea announced on the 12th that it has launched the demolition equipment 'EC750EHR' in the domestic market. The EC750EHR is the latest flagship product designed based on Volvo Construction Equipment's know-how and experience. It can reach a height of up to 36m and can be equipped with a work tool weighing up to 3600kg. The first unit was delivered to a domestic customer on the 6th, marking its launch.

The EC750EHR can be used in various sites such as high-rise and mid-rise demolition work and underground operations. Specifically, it supports ▲a working radius ranging from up to 36m above ground to 10m underground ▲a maximum work tool weight of 3600kg ▲Volvo's patented hydraulic boom connection device ▲a wide and stable high-strength hydraulic extendable undercarriage. Volvo Group Korea explained that the product was developed to enhance user convenience and productivity tailored to domestic site conditions.

As equipment for high-reach (HR) use, the EC750EHR maintains a safety radius during the demolition of high-rise buildings and allows flexible settings according to the work purpose and height. By connecting two types of 3-stage HR boom/arm on the base boom and a mid-reach demolition extension boom, four types of work are possible. It is also characterized by the ability for a single operator to quickly and conveniently set the equipment boom arm within 1 to 2 hours.

Worker safety at demolition sites was also prioritized. Equipment stability was enhanced through a 100-ton class size hydraulic extendable undercarriage with reinforced size and durability. Additionally, a high-weight counterweight is mounted on the upper structure, and a frame-type protective guard (FOG) that protects the operator from falling objects is installed. The 30° tilting cab, which makes it easy to work while looking upwards, and the UHR work camera provide a clear work view during high-rise building demolition.

Volvo Group Korea held a ceremony on the 6th in Chilgok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, to commemorate the delivery of the first domestic EC750EHR unit. The first domestic unit was delivered to Naeil Construction Co., Ltd., which carries out structural demolition work, asbestos removal, and pile driving work.

Jaetak Lim, Vice President and Head of Domestic Sales and Service at Volvo Construction Equipment Korea, said, “We are pleased to launch the Volvo Construction Equipment flagship demolition excavator EC750EHR in the domestic market. We will strive to ensure that Volvo’s high-reach work equipment, including the first EC750EHR unit, delivers the core values of customer success and safety at domestic sites.”
