With auto engine shutdown, hours not worked are not recorded, keeping your machine efficient for longer while reducing maintenance costs. The patented multifunction hydraulic oil filter provides outstanding protection to the hydraulic system.
Dashboard
Changing between hydraulic attachments is easy. In ECR40 you can pre-program the hydraulic settings best suited to all your attachments in just a few steps. You can then choose whether operators select pre-defined settings only or leave the option for operators to make final hydraulic adjustments from the cab.
Compact but powerful
The ECR40 offers superior stability, breakout force, tear out force and lifting capacity. Experience fast cycle times, even when taking on tough applications and heavy loads. High system pressure delivers impressive tractive force when climbing gradients or traveling over rough terrain.
Volvo hydraulic thumb
The Volvo hydraulic thumb opens a whole-new-world of productivity in your compact excavator. The hydraulic thumb, which is an option, is matched for use on Volvo machines and the different attachments which they operate. It delivers the flexibility and control needed for optimum results across a wide range of applications such as lifting, piling, carrying, placing and loading. It can be fully retracted against the arm for full unobstructed use of the bucket or breaker.
