roller on the joystick, up to 20km/h (12mph) – a new feature for the Volvo wheeled excavator range. Specific to the EW220E wheeled excavator and the material handler variant, the steering column can be removed for additional comfort; the operator can then control the entire machine – including the tilt rotator, blade and outriggers – using only the joysticks.
In addition to the standard rear view and side view cameras, the EW220E can also be equipped with the option of Volvo Smart View, to help navigate in tough situations. This can be integrated into the machine’s display or as a standalone screen.
To make entering and exiting the machine easy and safe, handrails and steps are brightly coloured and a ‘welcome’ light – controlled remotely – can be fitted as an option, helping to guide operators in the dark.
Made to move
Fitted with a powerful Stage IV Volvo engine, which delivers high torque at low rpm, the EW220E offers superior performance. To reduce fuel consumption while maintaining productivity, ECO mode turns on automatically. This is enhanced by auto idle and auto engine shut down features
which engage after a pre-set amount of time, also helping to reduce machine wear.
The wheeled excavator has been designed and tested to the highest standards of efficiency and reliability. The durably designed undercarriage offers high clearance when driving over hard uneven ground, while robust axles – equipped with automatic or operator-controlled front axle oscillation – offer strength in demanding applications.
For smoother and more efficient operation, the EW220E can be fitted with the automatic digging brake, first introduced by Volvo over 10 years ago. The intelligent option automatically engages the service brake and locks the oscillation when the machine’s speed is at zero.
To keep the machine up and running, the EW220E has been designed with ease of servicing in mind. On the entire E-Series wheeled excavator range, greasing points have been grouped together and filters placed behind wide-opening engine doors, all accessible from ground level. With improved access to areas such as the radiators and mesh, maintenance is made easy, helping operators stay on track even when they are on wheels.
