Volvo mini excavators EC13 to EC60 and ECR25 to ECR88 – the Pel-Job heritage from Belley: the number as weight class, ECR for short tail, generations B to E, 11 to 45 kW
Volvo's mini excavators come from Belley in the French département of Ain, where the maker Pel-Job had built compact excavators since the 1960s; Volvo took over the company in 1995 and continued the models under its own name – the Mitsubishi L3E and S3L2 engines in many register rows are the Pel-Job heritage. The number in the name gives the weight class in hundreds of kilograms: EC15 about 1.5 t, EC20 2 t, EC35 3.5 t, EC60 6 t. EC stands for the standard excavator with overhanging tail, ECR for the short-tail excavator (Compact Radius), EW for the wheeled excavator; the letters B, C, D and E are generations from the 1990s to Stage V. Suffixes such as XR, XT and XTV mark early versions with a variable-width undercarriage that retracts to under one metre for doorways.

The register lists 28 versions with 11.2 to 45.2 kW from three- and four-cylinders of 950 to 2,620 cm³ – besides the Mitsubishi engines the Volvo D1.7 and D2.6 of the younger generations – at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,800 rpm, operating weights from 1,258 to 7,004 kg and lengths from 3,746 to 6,370 mm.
The variable undercarriage and the short tail are the features with which Belley served the rental market; the current models are still built there, and the electric ECR18 and ECR25 Electric came from the same plant in 2020.
On used machines, operating hours, play in boom and stick pins, the condition of undercarriage and rubber tracks, the function of the track-width adjustment on XT models and leak-free cylinders and swivel joint are what count.
