gives the operator the opportunity to steer the machine using only the roller on the joystick, up to 20km/h (12mph) – a new feature for the Volvo wheeled excavator range. Specific to the EW220E and EW240E Material Handlers, the machines can be ordered from the factory without the steering column. This allows the operator to control the entire machine, including the tilt rotator and outriggers using only the joysticks.


E for efficiency


The EW240E Material Handler is both clever and fuel efficient in the way it operates. Auto idle, which reduces engine speed to idle when the controls are inactive for a pre- set amount of time, and auto engine shutdown, together help to reduce fuel consumption. Enhanced by ECO mode, which turns on automatically, the EW240E Material Handler is packed with features to increase fuel efficiency and reduce machine wear.


To keep the machine running, the EW240E Material Handler has been designed with ease of servicing in mind. On the entire E-series wheeled excavator range, greasing points are grouped together and filters are 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. ■
