The right excavator can make or break a project’s success, which is why Volvo’s mid-range line-up of excavators blends advanced technology with practical design features.
Volvo’s E-Series line-up of mid-range excavators have been designed to meet specific operational requirements to help quarries meet deadlines and minimise costs.
The E-Series range, made up of the ECR145E (14t), ECR235E (23t), and ECR355E (35t) models, features a narrow body and centrally positioned boom, providing high levels of precision in tight spaces.
This allows quarry operators to tackle tasks ranging from precise trenching to heavy-duty excavation with no drop in performance. The excavators can work at full power and lift capacity, even in tight spaces.
Powering these machines is Volvo’s latest D8 engine, which delivers up to 10 per cent lower fuel consumption than previous generations.
Fuel represents the one of the largest operational costs for quarries, often exceeding labour, maintenance, and insurance expenses. By implementing Volvo’s advanced fuel management system, operators can reduce idle time to around 25 per cent.
Volvo’s excavators are also engineered with maintenance efficiency in mind, with grouped filtration and greasing points near ground level, wide-opening compartment doors for easy access, and built-in service interval display for monitoring critical components.
Advanced technology
The Volvo Active Control system, included in the E-Series excavators, streamlines processes by automating boom and bucket movements. Password protection lets operators store settings for up to 20 different attachments.
Operators can also adjust hydraulic flow and pressure right from the cab.
Dig Assist and CareTrack telematics provide immediate monitoring and automated controls that make daily operations easier.
Volvo Smart View provides an immediate, 360° overhead view of the machine, with side and rear cameras displayed on a colour monitor.
Operator safety and comfort
A machine can only be as productive as the person operating it, which is why Volvo has highlighted operator wellbeing in the design of the E-Series excavators.
The Volvo Care Cab has been designed to minimise noise levels, vibration, and provide excellent visibility through large glass panels and slim cab pillars. It also includes an advanced circulation system with 14 vents, multi-adjustable seats with up to 12 different positions, ergonomic armrests and joystick console mounted on the same suspension to absorb shocks better, and customisable control patterns and joystick responsiveness.
Safety is also a vital part of operator comfort, which is why the cab structure meets roll over protective structure certification standards – keeping operators safe in challenging conditions.
