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.

Clean and productive

Reduce the risk of damage to your machine, with new axle mounted mudguards. Designed with a large surface area following the wheel arch, the mudguards will help to keep your machine cleaner for longer.

Boost your productivity

Swing into action with superior performance and efficiency. The versatile EWR150E and EWR170E combine power, fuel efficiency, easy service and smart features for an all-round machine that’s in tune with your needs.

Developing products and services that raise productivity – we are confident we can lower costs and increase profits for industry experts. Part of the Volvo Group, we are passionate about innovative solutions to help you work smarter – not harder.

Power up, fuel down

Move more with less thanks to the powerful Volvo engine. To reduce fuel consumption, the machines are also equipped with auto idle and auto engine shut down functions. ECO mode turns on automatically to maintain productivity and increase fuel efficiency and the passive regeneration process automatically cleans the DPF filters without any impact on performance.

EWR150E – Choice of undercarriage

Concerned about machine weight? Select the 15.2 tonne welded undercarriage, with radial blade and EW140 class drivetrain for the lightest possible configuration. For heavy duty work, go with the bolted undercarriage with parallel blade, bolted outriggers and EW160-class drivetrain for a 17.9 tonnes - up to 19.4 machine with 30% higher drawbar pull.

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. 2 different undercarriages: 3. Welded radial blade only with EW140 drive train. 4. Bolted undercarriage with parallel blade with EW160 drivetrain and the option to add outriggers. Wheels: Alternative single and twin wheels available. Front axle: Robust excavator axle with automatic or operator controlled front axle oscillation lock.

Controllability

Take on any application with the improved load-sensing hydraulic system that allows maximum utilization of available engine power, increasing controllability and responsiveness.

Comfortable and convenient

Conveniently designed to make life easier on the jobsite, the EWR150E and EWR170E are equipped with the latest features to increase productivity. Take on the most demanding working environments from the comfort of the spacious Volvo Care Cab, boasting all-around visibility and ergonomically-positioned controls.

Comfort Drive Control

New for the Volvo wheeled excavator range, Comfort Drive Control gives the operator the opportunity to control the machine using the roller on the joystick, up to 20km/h. Enjoy easy operation with an array of functions at your fingertips. You can opt to integrate blade/outrigger controls in the left-hand joystick.

Operator convenience

Operate in comfort every day, with a number of features that contribute to a more productive environment. These include the drawer type tool box, trailer hitch, refuelling pump, in-cab fluid check, and Bluetooth. Customize the controls on the joystick, and create a short cut for easy operation of the wipers or mute function.

Perform with precision

Unlock the full potential of your machine’s productivity with Dig Assist, the intelligent and intuitive technology which allows the operator to quickly and easily manage all excavator functions from a single in-cab system. Powered by the high resolution in-cab Volvo Co-Pilot, and with 2D, In-Field Design and 3D software packages available, Dig Assist gives operators access to a range of tools to help them achieve unmatched control, accuracy and uptime.

Trailer towing hitch

For maximum versatility and productivity, take all your tools to the jobsite in one trip, thanks to the road-homologated trailer hitch (TüV).

Class-leading short swing machine

The EWR150E now has a bigger brother – the EWR170E – delivering everything and more that you would expect from an E-Series Volvo excavator. Work and perform in narrow and confined spaces with Volvo’s short swing radius wheeled machines, featuring one of the shortest tail swing on the market.

Short Swing Performance

Swing into action, and take on the jobs that a conventional excavator can’t, with improved lifting capacity, so you won’t have to compromise on reach, lifting or digging performance. The market leading tail swing of the EWR150E, at 1 720 mm, and the short tail swing of the EWR170E, at 1 790 mm make for efficient and safe work in confined spaces.

Automatic digging brake

Operate efficiently and minimize stopping time with the 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.

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.

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.

Brake system

Service brakes: servo-hydraulically manoeuvred self-adjusting wet multidiscs 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. Security system: The 2-circuit travel brakes are supplied with two accumulators in the event of failure in the service brake system.

Safer, from the inside and out

Find your way easily when entering and exiting the machine, thanks to bright steps and handrails. As an option, the welcome light can now be controlled remotely, to guide you in the darkness.

Volvo Smart View

Increase visibility using the rear view and side view cameras – which come as standard. Or select Volvo Smart View. This smart option offers a bird’s-eye-view of the machine in real-time, as well as enhanced visibility of all angles, to help you navigate through tough situations. Additionally, you can get access to a bird’s eye view of the operation in real-time, with Volvo Smart View – offered as a standalone screen or integrated into the machine’s display.

Longer hose life

To increase component life, the hose routing between the boom and arm has been redesigned. The new shorter hoses enhances durability, and reduces the chance of damage.

Boom float function

Operations are easier with the boom float function. The optional feature enables the operator to fully concentrate on the attachment without having to focus on the boom. Whether using a Volvo bucket, hammer or vibration plate, count on the boom float function to limit excessive forces – resulting in longer life for the machine and attachment.
