Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) offered a look at its expanding next-generation excavator lineup at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026 with the debut of the Volvo EC560 excavator — an all-new model that can take on the biggest bucket in its size class.
Designed for the most demanding tasks in heavy infrastructure, quarry and aggregates and building applications, the 56-ton crawler excavator was on display in Las Vegas at the Volvo CE booth, giving attendees a preview of the machine before it becomes commercially available in early 2027.
"We're excited to give ConExpo attendees the very first look at our EC560," said Sejong Ko, product manager — large excavators of Volvo CE. "This model is a direct response to customer demand for a machine that offers the size and strength for heavy production work along with the finesse, fuel efficiency and comfort of our next-gen platform. It's a great example of how we're growing this series to meet every challenge our customers face."
Expanding Next-Gen Lineup
The EC560 is set to join Volvo CE's modernized excavator series, bridging the gap between existing size classes to offer customers a new level of productivity. It combines the operator-centric design of the new generation — including a completely reimagined cab and human machine interface (HMI) — with the durability required for mass excavation and material transport.
"Volvo CE's newest excavators offer up optimized electro-hydraulics that provide market-leading cycle time and production potential," said Ko. "While full details will be released closer to its launch, the EC560 excavator targets top-tier performance in its weight class with a massive 6 cu. yd. bucket and 3 percent more digging force, 10 percent more swing torque and a heavier counterweight."
