Effortless Efficiency

Volvo’s new EC160E, and EC180E provide a range of new features to ensure efficiency is a key priority when delivering functions. By carefully considering every duty and component, a machine has been produced that incorporates maximum uptime while also reducing fuel consumption and cycle times – all while delivering elite performance.

Volvo engine

Volvo engine

Featuring proven advanced technology, and built on decades of experience, Volvo’s robust D4 Stage IV engine boasts more power - while reducing both fuel consumption and emissions to deliver superior quality, reliability and durability.

Increased power

Increased power

The increased engine power combined with the increased pump input power creates a highly responsive combined operation and travel. It also produces faster cycle times and low fuel consumption which leads to higher productivity.

Boom float function

Boom float function

With the boom float function, the pump power for boom lowering can be saved or used for other functions, reducing the cycle time. Also, the grading operation can be made easier.

Main Control Valve and Software

Main Control Valve and Software

This valve is compatible with software in the machine – building on the already superior controllability by providing a smooth and easy operation. It is also compatible with Volvo’s ECO mode – this provides electronic pump control to enhance fuel efficiency.

New HMI

Making hard work easy

The EC160E and EC180E have been ergonomically designed for convenience and ease of use, allowing the operator to take control in comfort. The spacious cab design, controls and features are the industry first choice, while aimed at increasing productivity by ensuring the machine takes the strain and not the operator.

Side view camera

Side view camera

As well as the rear view camera, there is now a side view camera option to cover the visual blind spot. Both views are displayed on the colour monitor, creating a safer working environment, protecting the operator and personnel on the ground.

Short-cut key

Short-cut key

For added convenience, functions such as windshield wipers, cameras, auto-mute or power max function can all be assigned a short-cut button on the joystick. This allows the operator to select a function during the application without disruption.

Bluetooth®

Bluetooth®

To aid operator convenience and support better productivity, you can now connect a Bluetooth device to the machine enabling the handsfree function.

Seatbelt warning alarm

Seatbelt warning alarm

If the seatbelt is not buckled when the ignition key is turned, an alarm is triggered in intervals along with a continuous visual alert. This emphasises our priority for operator safety.

Built to last
Built to last All detail – no matter how small - is overlooked. Silicone caulking is used to prevent rust, waterproof harnesses and connections have been installed - as well as heavy-duty door hinges and bolted-on protection for the framework lights.

From Strong to Stronger

The EC160E, EC180E not only encompasses state-of-the-art design but Volvo also recognises that for technology to be truly innovative, top priorities need to be durability, quality and reliability for every function. This is why care has been taken to ensure every aspect of the machine is built to last while operating at the highest level of productivity.

ROPS

ROPS

The cab features ROPS – this reinforced steel structure ensures the operator is protected in the unlikely event of the machine rolling over, while it also meets the ISO standards for safety.

Boom and Arm

Boom and Arm

The robust design includes internal plates positioned to support pressure points during the range of applications. This helps disperse the stress from high-pressure areas of the boom and arm, to ensure maximum productivity time after time, during the most demanding applications.

Lower frame

Lower frame

The intelligently designed X-shape lower frame enables even weight distribution increasing stability and durability - preventing damage from rock and debris.

Undercarriage

Undercarriage

The idlers, track links, upper and bottom rollers are built to withstand all elements and terrain, to create improved long-lasting durability and support maximum uptime.
