Caterpillar 374 vs Volvo EC750E
The Caterpillar 374 and Volvo EC750E are almost identical in operating weight (about 73,900 and 74,400 kg).
The Volvo EC750E has about 7% more engine power (385 kW (516 hp) vs 361 kW (484 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
