VOLVO ENGINE
Featuring proven advanced technology, and built on decades of experience, Volvo’s robust D4 Stage IV engine boasts more power - while reducing both fuel consumption and emissions to deliver superior quality, reliability and durability.
INCREASED POWER
The increased engine power combined with the increased pump input power creates a highly responsive combined operation and travel. It also produces faster cycle times and low fuel consumption which leads to higher productivity
BOOM FLOAT FUNCTION
With the boom float function, the pump power for boom lowering can be saved or used for other functions, reducing the cycle time. Also, the grading operation can be made easier.
MAIN CONTROL VALVE AND SOFTWARE
This valve is compatible with software in the machine – building on the already superior controllability by providing a smooth and easy operation. It is also compatible with Volvo’s ECO mode – this provides electronic pump control to enhance fuel efficiency.
NEW HMI
The EC160E and EC180E have been ergonomically designed for convenience and ease of use, allowing the operator to take control in comfort. The spacious cab design, controls and features are the industry first choice, while aimed at increasing productivity by ensuring the machine takes the strain and not the operator.
SIDE VIEW CAMERA
As well as the rear view camera, there is now a side view camera option to cover the visual blind spot. Both views are displayed on the colour monitor, creating a safer working environment, protecting the operator and personnel on the ground.
SHORT-CUT KEY
For added convenience, functions such as windshield wipers, cameras, auto-mute or power max function can all be assigned a short-cut button on the joystick. This allows the operator to select a function during the application without disruption.
SEATBELT WARNING ALARM
If the seatbelt is not buckled when the ignition key is turned, an alarm is triggered in intervals along with a continuous visual alert. This emphasises our priority for operator safety.
BUILT TO LAST
The EC160E, EC180E not only encompasses state-of-the-art design but Volvo also recognises that for technology to be truly innovative, top priorities need to be durability, quality and reliability for every function. This is why care has been taken to ensure every aspect of the machine is built to last while operating at the highest level of productivity.
ROPS
The cab features ROPS – this reinforced steel structure ensures the operator is protected in the unlikely event of the machine rolling over, while it also meets the ISO standards for safety.
BOOM AND ARM
The robust design includes internal plates positioned to support pressure points during the range of applications. This helps disperse the stress from high-pressure areas of the boom and arm, to ensure maximum productivity time after time, during the most demanding applications.
LOWER FRAME
The intelligently designed X-shape lower frame enables even weight distribution increasing stability and durability - preventing damage from rock and debris.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The idlers, track links, upper and bottom rollers are built to withstand all elements and terrain, to create improved long-lasting durability and support maximum uptime.
ULTIMATE TOOL CARRIER
To maximize customer productivity and profitability, the EC160E and EC180E have been designed to not only be compatible with a range of attachments, but to enhance their performance by easily and quickly switching to accommodate any needs.
ATTACHMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The password protected management system allows storage for up to 20 different attachments. It pre-sets and permits hydraulic flow and pressure to be adjusted within the cab, which ensures the use of various attachments for increased versatility.
EXTRA PIPING
An additional piping solution is available on the breaker and shear piping (X1), accommodating the use of tilt/rotator attachments.
SERVICE ACCESS
Maintaining a good level of inspection is important for the machine longevity, quicker servicing and maximum uptime – this is the reason Volvo has developed easily accessible maintenance points with added safety precautions.
GROUPED FILTERS
Filters are well grouped and easily accessible from the ground level. This facilitates the speed and ease of servicing.
SINGLE LAYER COOLING SYSTEM
The radiator, charged air cooler and hydraulic oil cooler are situated side-by-side on a single layer, to maximize efficiency, reduce blockages and aid cleaning. The system is easily accessed from ground level by simply opening the side door.
SERVICE INTERVAL ALERTS
LReal-time service alerts are displayed on the colour monitor to enable diagnostic checks. Separate service intervals include – the engine oil/ filter, fuel filter/water separator, hydraulic oil and hydraulic oil filter. This ensures peace of mind and maximum uptime.
