EW220E Volvo Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2019 - 2026)

Match and attach

Customize your machine with a range of purpose-built quality attachments, for improved cycle times and increased fuel efficiency.

Perform with precision

Efficient and versatile, the EW180E and EW220E offer continuous productivity and all the proven Volvo technology you’d expect from the E-Series wheeled excavator. Get ready to work with the powerful machines, offering precise movements to help you maintain total control and performance.

Power up, fuel down

Get the bigger jobs done better and faster. Equipped with a powerful Volvo engine, delivering higher torque at lower rpm, the E-Series offers superior performance. To reduce fuel consumption, ECO mode turns on automatically. This is enhanced by auto idle and auto engine shut down, which engage after a pre-set amount of time, also helping to reduce machine wear.

The right configuration for the job

Carry out a variety of tasks with optional configurations. The machines are offered with a hitch, so you can pull trailers weighing 3 tons, or up to 8 tons with additional dry run brakes. You can fit the trailer hook onto the outriggers or parallel blade, to optimize machine versatility. And, with a wide range of high quality tires, available in both single and twin, you’re ready to tackle all types of ground conditions.

Strength and durability

The EW180E and EW220E are built with protected components and a strong frame structure, for sustained uptime and increased machine life. The specially designed undercarriage offers high clearance when driving over hard ground, while the robust axles – equipped with automatic or operator controlled front axle oscillation – offer strength in demanding applications.

Automatic digging brake

Maximize uptime with the optional automatic digging brake, first introduced by Volvo. The service brake and oscillation lock automatically engage when the machine’s speed is at zero, so you can get straight to work once you stop.

Undercarriage

Drive train: A variable axle piston motor in combination with a power shift gearbox supplies 3 speeds. The gearbox distributes then the energy via propeller shafts to the axles. Framework: All-welded robust torsion box frame. Wheels: Alternative single and twin wheels available. Front axle: Robust excavator axle with automatic or operator controlled front axle oscillation lock. Undercarriage available with all possible combinations of bolted outriggers and / or parallel blade.

Do more

Unlock the full potential of your E-Series wheeled excavator with optional auxiliary lines to power up your attachments. The breaker/shear function (X1) uses the main hydraulic system to provide optimum flow when operating attachments requiring one or two-way flow, while the tilt/rotate function (X3) delivers an appropriate two-way flow.

Brake System

Service brake: servo-hydraulically manouvered self-adjusting wet multi-discs with two separate brake circuits. Parking brake: electro-hydraulic wet disc in gear housing, spring applied and pressure released. Digging brake: service brake with mechanical lock system. Security system: the 2-circuit travel brakes are supplied with two accumulators in the event of failure in the service brake system.

On or off road

Whether you require a wheeled excavator for on or off road operations, Volvo flexible design ensures you’re always ready for action. The EW220E is available from the factory as either road homologated or off-road version – the off-road design boasting a heavier counterweight.

Comfortable and convenient

Conveniently designed to make life easier on the jobsite, the E-Series wheeled excavators are equipped with the latest features to increase operator comfort and productivity. Take on the most demanding working environments from the comfort of the spacious Volvo cab, boasting all-around visibility and ergonomically-positioned controls for enhanced controllability.

Comfort Drive Control

New for the Volvo wheeled excavator range, Comfort Drive Control gives the operator the opportunity to control the machine using only the joystick, up to 20km/h.

Operator convenience

Take all your tools to the jobsite in just one trip, with the homologation approved trailer hitch. Carrying up to 120kg, the optional drawer type toolbox has been designed with interchangeable box dividers and stoppers to prevent sliding during operation. Fill your excavator with ease from ground level using the electric fuel filler pump, delivering 50 liters of fuel per minute.

Operators choice

Enjoy a comfortable ride in the low-noise Volvo cab. The ergonomically-positioned interface – including the joysticks, keypad and LCD monitor – helps you stay alert and focused. As an option, the EW220E can be ordered from factory without the steering column, to boost further visibility (not homologated for road use).

Enhanced Controllability

The E-Series wheel excavators offers an array of functions at your fingertips. You can now control the entire machine from the joysticks, including the tiltrotator, blade and outriggers. For easy operation and maximum productivity, the digital colour display newly combines machine and tiltrotator information.

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 solenoids valves are shielded to prevent damage. The master switch is standard.

Safe from the inside out

Stay safe when operating in tough environments in the ROPS certified Volvo cab, and increase visibility using the rear view and side view cameras – which come as standard. In addition, you can select the optional Volvo Smart View to enjoy a bird’s-eye-view of the operation in real-time. Find your way easily around the outside of cab, guided by the bright orange handrails.

Superior Serviceability

It's easy to keep your machines up and running with simple serviceability. Find greasing points grouped together and filters placed behind wide-opening engine doors, to provide ground-level access to daily service checkpoints. Meanwhile, the pivoting AC condenser is fixed with two flexible latches, improving access to the mesh and radiators for cleaning, increasing component life.

Reach further, lift more

Boost your working ability with the new heavy-duty two-piece boom and arm, designed to stretch further, dig deeper and reach higher. In an industry that’s always evolving, with growing business demands, the EW180E and EW220E excavators offer a total reach of over 10 meters and increased lifting capacity.
