Volvo ECR40D overview

Engine / Driveline and transmission

Optimized efficiency
For lower costs, increased productivity and maximum uptime, a range of efficient features combined in the ECR4 mode ECO lets you choose the right machine setting for your particular job for impressive fuel efficiency. Rugged design and quality digging equipment ensures durability and long-term machine value. Auto emptying and engine shutdown reduce noise disturbance, fuel consumption, maintenance cost & slow down depreciation on your machine.
Automatic travel speed
Automatic two-speed travel allows the operator to drive the machine continuously at high speed. Speed is automatically reduced when traction is needed.
ECO mode
By simply pressing a button, the unique Volvo ECO mode reduces fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Automatic engine idle plus optional engine shutdown
This feature automatically shuts the engine down into idle mode and then off to reduce fuel consumption and cut engine operating hours when the machine is no longer active for a selectable pre-set amount of time.

Hydraulics

Built ready
Get the most out of your machine. The ECR40D fits perfectly with Volvo attachments, allowing you to change hydraulic settings directly and easily from the keypad. For increased versatility and uptime, Volvo has a durable range of attachments so that you can access further applications and effectively complete a variety of tasks.
Quick Couplers
The mechanical and hydraulic pin grapple quick couplers enable the attachments to be changed quickly and efficiently. A wide range of further attachments can be used for greater flexibility through the design of the hydraulic pin grapple.
Advanced attachment solutions
The machine is compatible with a range of hydraulic attachments, including thumbs, breaker and tiltable digging bucket for advanced and specialized applications. Do not hesitate to turn to your local Volvo dealer; also benefit from leading expertise and advanced attachment solutions.
Built ready
Volvo's durable attachments have been specifically built to provide maximum productivity and a long service life combined with the Volvo machines.
Customer Solutions
Volvo offers the right solutions throughout your machine's life cycle to reduce total cost of ownership.

Tyres / Tracks

Short swing radius
Designed and built in the tightest of spaces, this compact excavator can be used on more jobsites while reducing the risk of damage to the machine and its surroundings. Short swing radius design and boom cylinder position left make the ECR40D the first choice for working in confined areas. Slinging and offset movements are controlled simultaneously to allow easy and fast positioning of the machine.
In-track boom swing
The swing post and cylinder stay within the tracks when in a offset position, thus avoiding the risk of damage to your machine while working alongside obstacles.
