Why Are 73% of Contractors Switching to Used Volvo Excavators in 2024?
If you’re still paying full price for heavy equipment, you’re leaving over $100,000 in potential profit on the table.
Let’s face it—buying new construction machinery has become a luxury few contractors can afford. A brand-new Volvo EC220E can cost up to $200,000, but today’s smart buyers are securing certified used models for just $78,500—with the same power, durability, and tech.
The global used equipment market exploded to $148.2 billion in 2023, and it’s no coincidence. As margins tighten and projects get more competitive, smart contractors are optimizing ROI through strategically sourced second-hand Volvo machines.
Used ≠ Risky — Not When It’s Zekun-Certified
Not all used Volvo excavators are equal. A poorly maintained EC220D can drain $20,000+ in surprise repairs, while a certified EC220E from Zekun Machinery delivers 10,000+ hours of dependable performance.

Why Volvo Excavators Dominate the Used Equipment Market
1. Durable by Design:
Volvo’s high-tensile steel frames and advanced hydraulic systems outlast competitors by 15–20%. Even at 8,000+ hours, a Volvo EC350E retains over 90% of its digging power.
2. Fuel-Saving Engineering:
Tier 4 Final engines and Eco Mode cut fuel consumption by up to 18%.
Example:
• Volvo EC240B: 6.5 gal/hour
• CAT 320: 8.1 gal/hour
3. Built-In Smart Technology:
Volvo’s onboard features like auto-grade, load sensors, and GPS diagnostics come standard—saving up to $15,000 in aftermarket add-ons.
