New Volvo excavators
Three brand new Volvo excavators were launched at a press event held at the Volvo excavator factory in Konz, Germany on 22 August.
ECR355E
This new E-Series excavator from Volvo Construction Equipment offers up to a 10% rise in fuel efficiency, a significant increase in digging and lifting forces, controllability and ultimate uptime to ensure the highest standard of productivity and performance.
Built on the proven E-Series design, the latest addition is powerful and precise, making the 35-tonne machine the ideal partner for pipelaying, trench-box installation and utility work.
At the heart of the heavy-duty machine is the robust Stage IV Final-compliant Volvo engine. Combining high torque and low rpm, the Volvo D8 engine delivers 180 kW (241 Hp) of power and an increase in fuel efficiency of up to 10%, helping customers to do more for less. The advanced electro-hydraulic system works in harmony with the powerful Volvo engine to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, as well as ensuring a faster and smoother operation. Also contributing to faster cycle times is the boom float function, which saves pump power when lowering the boom.
Short swing, big potential The Volvo ECR355E not only does more with less fuel but also with less effort. For example, the electro-hydraulic system offers a significant increase in both lifting capacity and digging force. With the ability to dig, swing and load more material, the ECR355E achieves greater productivity across a broader spectrum of applications and conditions.
From road construction to heavy infrastructure work, the ECR355E adapts to the job site, thanks to its sturdy design and a long list of standard and optional features. To better adapt to meet different job specifications, the Volvo ECR355E can be easily transported from site to site thanks to its compact size. The optional narrow and long undercarriage features can be selected to enhance machine mobility.
Do more – comfortably
In order to manoeuvre in and out of confined areas of the jobsite, the latest E-Series excavator raises the bar in controllability and operator comfort with a host of new features. Inside the low-noise Volvo cab, customized response modes in the joysticks ensure the machine does exactly what the operator intends.
From the industry-leading ROPS-certified Volvo cab, the operator experiences all-around visibility around the machine thanks to expansive windows and narrow pillars. The optional Volvo Smart View feature combines four exterior-mounted cameras to create a bird’s eye view of the machine, displayed on the monitor. The system allows the operator to observe all surrounding areas – an advantage when working in confined areas.
Up to the test
Beyond productivity and control, the heavy-duty machine is always available and ready to work. The ECR355E is equipped with an X-frame undercarriage with forged steel top rollers, and rugged boom and arms for sustainable uptime and longevity. Wide-opening compartment doors allow unobstructed ground- level access to essential maintenance points, including pump pressure taps, filters and the cooling package. And with logically-grouped greasing manifolds, anti-slip plates and plentiful handrails, operators can get back to work swiftly and safely.
For demolition and other heavy-duty applications, Volvo offers reinforcement and guarding packages to ensure Volvo machines are protected. Customers can choose from a wide range of options, including the boom and bucket cylinder guards, heavy-duty side doors, reinforced undercovers, slew ring protection and cab-mounted Falling Object Guarding (FOG) packages.
