EW230C Wheeled Excavator Introduction

EW230C Wheeled Excavator

Volvo's largest wheeled excavator model to date, the EW230C offers superior stability in heavier lift operations such as pipe laying and hard digging thanks to a new, more robust platform. Its design ensures that the rear axle weight, when fitted with a standard counterweight, remains below 12 tonnes - making it approved for road travel between sites.

The EW230C is powered by a Volvo D6E EHE3 diesel engine, developing 125 kW/168hp net at 1,900 rpm, delivering power where it is needed and giving it an enviable lift capacity. A choice of 5.7m (18.7ft) mono or optional articulated two-piece boom is available, while Volvo's automatic lubrication system not only ensures correct lubrication but also reduces lubricant use by 50%.
