The Volvo 480DL Excavator is a powerhouse built for India's most demanding mining and heavy-duty applications. Fully compliant with DGMS regulations, it features advanced fire safety and an Automatic Leveling and Slope System (ALSS) for unparalleled performance, safety, and productivity.

 The Volvo EC480DL is more than just a large crawler excavator; it's a testament to safety, efficiency, and raw power. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of mining, quarrying, and mass excavation, this machine is equipped to handle the toughest jobs while prioritizing the well-being of its operator and the site. This model is meticulously configured with essential features to meet DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety) compliance, making it the ideal choice for mining operations across India.

Key Features & DGMS-Compliant Safety:

• Exceptional Power and Productivity: The EC480DL is driven by a powerful Volvo engine, delivering superior digging force and fast cycle times. Its advanced hydraulic system, combined with Volvo's unique ECO mode, ensures maximum performance with best-in-class fuel efficiency, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
