EC235DNL Volvo excavator specs & Dimensions (2015 - 2016)

Tough Jobs for a Tough Machine

Volvo’s new EC235D excels in the most demanding terrain – from rocks to riverbeds and construction sites to demolition sites. This robust machine features increased total performance from an improved hydraulic system. Trust Volvo to put you in control.

Heavy-duty Undercarriage

Oversized heavy-duty undercarriage and excellent tractive force for improved durability and reliability in demanding terrain. Strong undercarriage increases machine lifetime.

Self-Sharpening Tooth System

Volvo perfects the excavator bucket's point of attack with a robust tooth system that delivers performance and long life. Cast and tempered from a high-strength alloy, Volvo teeth resist stresses and deliver optimum penetration in hard or abrasive material. An innovative design lessens internal wear between tooth and adapter — and makes it easy to change teeth.

D-Series Crawler Excavators

Introducing Volvo’s powerful, fuel efficient and environmentally responsible D-Series crawler excavators. Featuring Volvo’s unique, award-winning ECO mode, the D6 Stage IIIB/ Tier 4 Interim engine and improved hydraulics, these machines deliver reduced fuel consumption and cycle times resulting in up to 12% rise in fuel efficiency improvement as well as increased digging performance.

Volvo D6 Stage IIIB/ Tier 4 Interim engine

Volvo’s new fuel efficient engine features an active-type Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and a regeneration process to lower emissions. The unique method does not interrupt operation, performance or productivity.

ECO mode

Volvo’s unique, award-winning ECO mode features sophisticated electronic pump control technology which contributes to up to 5% of the machine’s total improved fuel efficiency without any loss of performance in most operating conditions.

Work modes

Operators can select the best work mode for the task at hand to ensure optimum performance and fuel efficiency. Choose the correct mode according to your working conditions for added versatility and increased performance.

Digging power and speed

Enhanced digging force and faster cycle times, particularly when working with hard materials, from increased engine power and improved hydraulics.

Engine

The latest generation, Volvo engine Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) emissions compliant diesel engine fully meets the demands of the latest, emissions regulations. The engine uses precise, highpressure fuel injectors, turbo charger and air-to-air intercooler, and electronic engine controls to optimize machine performance. Air Filter: 3-stage with precleaner. Automatic Idling System: Reduces engine speed to idle when the levers and pedals are not activated resulting in less fuel consumption and low cab noise levels.

Controllability

Smart hydraulic system enables smooth and highly responsive combined operation and travel. The system automatically prioritizes oil flow to the boom, arm or slew function according to requirements, resulting in faster cycle times.

Grading

Superb grading performance from improved hydraulic system. Effortlessly smooth surfaces with harmonized flow control and well-matched attachment speed.

Service intervals on I-ECU

A service mode is incorporated into the I-ECU color monitor to enable diagnostic checks. Four separate service intervals – the engine oil/filter, fuel filter/water separator, hydraulic oil and hydraulic oil filter – are displayed on the monitor.

Electrical system

High-capacity electrical system that is well protected. Waterproof double-lock harness plugs are used to secure corrosion-free connections. The main relays and solenoid valves are shielded to prevent damage. The master switch is standard. Contronics provides advanced monitoring of machine functions and important diagnostic information on the I-ECU.

Swing system

The swing system uses an axial piston motor, driving a planetary gearbox for maximum torque. An automatic holding brake and anti-rebound valve are standard.

Drive each track

Each track is powered by an automatic two-speed shift travel motor. The track brakes are multi-disc, spring-applied and hydraulic released. The travel motor, brake and planetary gears are well protected within the track frame.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system, also known as the 'Automatic Sensing Work Mode,' is designed for high-productivity, high-digging capacity, high-maneuvering precision and excellent fuel economy. The summation system, arm and swing priority along with boom, arm and bucket regeneration provides optimum performance. The following important functions are included in the system: Summation system: Combines the flow of both hydraulic pumps to ensure quick cycle times and high productivity. Arm priority: Gives priority to the arm operation for faster cycle times in leveling and for increased bucket filling when digging.

Designed to fit your needs

There is a lot riding on creating solutions that are suited to the particular needs of different industry applications. Innovation often involves high technology – but it doesn’t always have to. Some of our best ideas have been simple, based on a clear and deep understanding of our customers’ working lives.

Volvo Care Cab

All-round visibility and a premium operator environment are at the heart of Volvo’s cab design. The spacious cab, with ample storage and leg room, features an adjustable seat for excellent operator comfort, reduced whole body vibration and increased productivity. Step inside Volvo’s care cab and enjoy excellent all-round visibility. In this safe and comfortable environment operators will feel efficient and in control all day long. See more and do more with Volvo. Enjoy all-round visibility, easy to access controls and excellent air ventilation in Volvo’s spacious cab which meets ROPS safety standards.

Rubber/Silicone oil viscous mounts

Spring is added to the mounts to improve shock absorption and reduce vibration. Increased operator comfort means more productivity.

I-ECU monitor

Large color monitor provides excellent clarity in all light conditions. Using a control panel the operator and service technician can make quick visual and diagnostic checks, increasing uptime and productivity. The monitor also displays camera images – up to four at a time.

Automatic climate control system

Operators can set their ideal temperature with Volvo’s powerful climate control system. Industry leading air circulation and defrosting capability is delivered with 14 well-spaced vents for increased comfort and productivity.

Rear view camera

Rear view camera provides visibility via the color I-ECU monitor for increased safety. The camera sits on top of the counterweight to project the area behind the machine.

Anti-slip plates

Added operator and service mechanic safety from punched anti-slip plate which provides superb grip, especially in wet or icy conditions.

Cab

The operator's cab has easy access via a wide door opening. The cab is supported on hydraulic dampening mounts to reduce shock and vibration levels. These along with sound absorbing lining provide low noise levels. The cab has excellent all-round visibility. The front windshield can easily slide up into the ceiling, and the lower front glass can be removed and stored in the side door. Integrated air-conditioning and heating system: The pressurized and filtered cab air is supplied by an automatically-controlled fan. The air is distributed throughout the cab from 14 vents. Ergonomic operator's seat: The adjustable seat and joystick console move independently to accommodate the operator. The seat has nine different adjustments plus a seat belt for the operator's comfort and safety.

Grouped filters

Grouped, ground level filters in the pump compartment are accessible via one door for faster servicing and more machine uptime. This reduces the need for conducting maintenance at height, increasing safety.

Safe access

Safe and convenient access to service points from ground level for reduced maintenance time and more machine uptime. Volvo’s automatic stays prevent doors being blown closed and automatic locks ensure doors shut.
