Volvo EC380E is a heavy hitter


The EC380E crawler excavator from Volvo Construction Equipment features a powerful Stage IV engine, combing superior efficiency, productivity and durability for maximum profitability in quarry and mass excavation applications.


Volvo Construction Equipment’s heavy-duty EC380E crawler excavator is an exceptionally productive machine that lowers operating costs through reduced fuel consumption and simple maintenance requirements. Powered by a proven Stage IV-compliant Volvo D13 engine, the EC380E delivers high digging and breakout forces alongside reduced emissions and a 9% improvement in fuel efficiency over the outgoing D model.


The EC380E’s hydraulics are perfectly matched to the engine and are controlled by an advanced system which provides on-demand flow and reduces power losses within the circuit. Volvo’s unique ECO mode contributes up to 9% of the machine’s total im- proved efficiency – without any loss of performance


in most operating conditions. As well as improving fuel efficiency, this increases controllability for more precise performance. Otherwise, Volvo’s integrated work mode system offers the operator a choice of five work modes according to the task in hand – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) or P (Power max) – for optimum efficiency and machine performance. When the controls have been inactive for a pre-set amount of time, the excavator can be programmed to automatically reduce engine speed or even shut down to further reduce fuel consumption and noise. Operators can keep track of both current and average fuel consumption via a simple gauge in the cab.


User-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interfaces)


It’s a fact that operators work more efficiently when they’re given the best tools for the job. That’s why on top of being a superior production machine, the EC380E has been designed for ease and simplicity of operation. All human machine interfaces – including the joysticks, keypad and LCD monitor – are ergonomically designed and positioned for optimum comfort and control. The number of switches has been significantly reduced in comparison to previous models, while the eight-inch colour LCD screen, displaying machine status information vital for maximizing productivity and uptime, is easy to read in any light. To ensure operator safety, a seatbelt warning alarm sounds if the operator seatbelt is not fastened when the ignition key is turned. Handrails and full-size guide-rails facilitate safe entry and exit of the cab, while easy-clean anti-slip plates help the operator gain a sure footing.


Maximum uptime


The Volvo EC380E crawler excavator has been designed not only for ease of operation but also for simple maintenance. This ensures maximum uptime and minimum expenditure on parts and servicing. The EC380E’s strong three-piece undercarriage and high tensile steel X-shaped frame have been reinforced to ensure a long service life, while additional superstructure cover plates prevent damage to
