Top of the class

The EWR130E wheeled excavator is designed to set new standards in the market when it comes to powerful machine performance in an unbeatably compact package. This multipurpose 12-13t machine can work in tight urban spaces, move quickly through infrastructure projects, and has a light enough footprint for landscaping. Wherever you are working, count on the EWR130E to help your project succeed.

Additional compactness

Enhance machine versatility with the in-line outriggers. This option allows the machine to be positioned and stabilized in the most compact of working areas.

The compact choice

Take on jobs that a conventional excavator cannot with the EWR130E. With a new boom and arm design, the machine features the shortest rear (1.55m) and front (1.81m) swing radius on the market, providing enhanced safety and comfort when working in confined spaces. A low machine height, combined with optimized tie-down points on the lower frame, makes easy work of machine transportation.

Designed by you, built by Volvo

At Volvo, we go the extra mile to make sure our customers are included throughout the entire engineering journey of our machines. On-site demonstrations and test drives are fundamentals to each milestone of the development. We give customers the opportunity to tailor their machine to the demands of their jobsites. Rigorously tested, the EWR130E is designed to achieve outstanding results in even the most demanding conditions.

Get hitched

With the TuV approved trailer hitch you can pull a trailer weighing 3 tons, or up to 8 tons with additional overrun brakes, perfect for transporting all required tools and equipment to the job site. The trailer hook can be fitted on the outriggers or parallel blade for optimized machine versatility.

Match and attach

Get the most out of your wheeled excavator with our range of purpose-built attachments, designed to work in perfect harmony with your machine. Form one solid and reliable unit that delivers improved cycle times and increased fuel efficiency, by customizing your machine with quality Volvo attachments, which match your needs.

Bring your tools

Perfect for transporting tools and lifting chains, an ergonomically positioned drawer-type toolbox conveniently slides out from the undercarriage. First introduced by Volvo, the toolbox can carry up to 120 kg. Box dividers, which can be adjusted into five different positions, help the operator stay organized.

Automatic digging brake

A Volvo first, the automatic digging brake lets you get straight to work once you stop. The service brake and oscillation lock automatically engage when the machine’s speed is at zero.

Brake system

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

Easy attachments setup

Easily program attachment pressure and flow, without the need of a service technician, thanks to the Attachment Management System. Our system can store the settings of up to 32 different attachments, helping to reduce downtime and keep costs to a minimum. A shortcut button on the console provides quick access to the attachments menu.

Hydraulic system

Load sensing hydraulic system with pressure compensated valves. Load independence of movements. Flow sharing feature, combined with a high flow pump (power regulation). The system gives superior manoeuvrability and fast movements, for optimal working result and economy. The following working modes are included in the system: Parking mode (P): Parking position for optimal safety. Travel mode (T): Engine speed is controlled by travel pedal stroke for low fuel consumption and noise. Working mode (W): Full working flow with adjustable engine rpm for normal working and best speed utilisation. Customer mode (C): Operator can set proper oil flow in accordance with job conditions. Power Boost: All digging and lifting forces are increased.

Operator convenience

The EWR130E boasts the same full-size cab as its larger counterparts, providing operators with a spacious and low-noise working environment. Ergonomic and easy-to-use controls include programmable buttons on the joystick, allowing operators to keep the most relevant functions at hand during the working day.

Drive in comfort

For easy operation and reduced operator fatigue, Comfort Drive Control gives operators the opportunity to steer the machine without needing to take their hands off the joystick, at speeds up to 20km/h. A single joystick can handle almost every operation – from wheel steering, to blade and outrigger control, windshield wiping and more.

Fully adjustable joystick

Find the perfect position of your L8 joystick thanks to a special ball joint allowing the joystick to be fully adjustable to any angle. Operators can adjust the angle to a neutral position in seconds, for enhanced operator comfort and reduced strain.

Versatile Performance

Swiftly and easily connect hydraulic attachments from the comfort and safety of the cab, with the Steelwrist® Auto Connect Quick Coupler.

Made to manoeuvre

Increase machine flexibility with a choice of steering modes, easily selected from the cab using the rotary switch. The optional 4-wheel steering system reduces the turning radius.

Swing system

The superstructure is slewed by the means of a radial piston motor without reduction gear. Automatic slew holding brake and anti-rebound valve are standard. Max. slew speed 8 r/min. Max. slew torque 42 kNm.

Clean and productive

When travelling at high speeds, the optional axle mounted mudguards will keep your machine cleaner for longer thanks to a large surface area following the wheel arch.

Volvo Smart View

Operators can work in complete confidence thanks to optional Volvo Smart View. The system uses front, rear and side cameras to provide a real-time, overhead view of the machine during operation on the colour monitor. The result is safer machine rotation while working, especially in confined spaces.

Divided blades

Additional divided blades create opportunities for the operator to level the machine in a wider variety of locations such as sidewalks and uneven ground.

Simple to Service

Keep your machine up and running with ease thanks to simple servicing. Grouped greasing points and filters are easily accessed behind wide-opening engine doors, providing ground-level access to daily service checkpoints. Furthermore, the pivoting AC condenser is fixed with a flexible latch, improving access to the radiators, for easy cleaning and increased component life.
