Features & Benefits

Discover the unmatched performance and efficiency of the EWR170 with increased reach, increased lifting capacity and the shortest rear swing radius in its class.

Lift more, reach further

The already renowned performance of the EWR170 is taken to a new level thanks to an increased lifting capacity over the front of the machine, made possible by the larger diameter of the lift cylinders. Combine this with a newly designed longer 2-piece boom which delivers an increased reach, and the EWR170 is ready to deliver top results.

Best in class

Featuring the shortest rear swing radius in its class, combined with a reduction in front swing radius by more than 0.5m, the EWR170 is the perfect machine for working in urban environments and tight job sites. The optimized design offers exceptional manoeuvrability when working in confined spaces.

More power, more possibilities

The powerful 115kW engine gives the EWR170 all the power needed to take on tough tasks in heavy-duty applications. The powerful engine contributes to faster cycle times, increased digging force and the ability to handle larger attachments with ease. Swing torque is also increased by 10%, compared to the previous generation, enabling effortless and more controlled machine movements, helping to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your operations.

Customizable work equipment

Choose the right work equipment for your operation with a choice of 2.0m, 2.5m and 3.1m arm lengths depending on your requirements. The undercarriage is also completely customisable with a choice of outrigger, blade or no equipment on both the front and rear of the machine. An optional 2.75m wide axle provides further flexibility – enabling enhanced stability when lifting over the side – according to your unique demands

Versatile and high-performance attachments

A wide range of Volvo Attachments, including buckets and breakers, are designed to work in perfect harmony with the versatile EWR170 to deliver maximum performance across a wide range of tasks and applications. When working with hydraulic attachments, the X1 and X3 auxiliary lines have been increased in size for less pressure losses; X3 flow has also been increased from 70 to 120 litres/minute, providing the necessary pressure to operate a Steelwrist® tiltrotator . A third auxiliary line (X4) is available as an option.

A combination of intelligent features, durable design, easy servicing and fuel-efficient technology in the EWR170 helps to keep uptime to a maximum, while lowering operating costs.

Your profitability partner

The Volvo EWR170 is built for efficiency, featuring advanced engine technology and intelligent hydraulics that reduce fuel consumption while maintaining top performance. Features including auto-idle and automatic engine shutdown further enhance efficiency. An optional extra fuel tank in the undercarriage supports a longer working range between refills for increased uptime.

Designed for uptime

From its robust frame to high quality components, every element of the Volvo EWR170 is engineered for durability, ensuring longevity and minimal downtime. When it comes to servicing, daily maintenance tasks are quick and hassle-free, with grouped greasing points, ground-level access to essential service areas and optional hydraulic oil quick fill, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.

Efficiency and advanced hydraulics

The advanced electro-hydraulic load sensing system ensures hydraulic power is delivered only when needed, providing precise control, smooth operation and enhanced productivity whatever the task at hand. The result is superior machine responsiveness, maximum performance and optimum efficiency.

Lockout / Tagout maintenance switch

Ensure safety and compliance with the Lockout/Tagout feature. The solution enables the technician to isolate the machine while working on it, preventing accidental start-up during maintenance operations.

Step inside the most comfortable cab on the market. The EWR170 is designed to keep operators comfortable, productive and working at their best.

The ultimate operator environment

Every detail of the Volvo EWR170 cab has been redesigned with operator comfort and convenience in mind, with superior visibility, low noise levels and ergonomic controls ensuring operators stay comfortable and focused throughout the workday. Combine this with easy-to-use joystick controls, outstanding storage options, wireless phone charging, USB connections, automatic in-cab lights and a range of options such as an air compressor for cleaning, and right-hand sunshade. This is truly an operator environment like no other.

New operator interface

All essential information is conveniently displayed on a single 12.8” touchscreen, integrated into the right-hand console, always clearly in view and accessible as the operator moves. The interactive, integrated display offers easy control over essential functions such as media, camera settings, climate control and machine status.

Customisable options and settings

A choice of factory-fit options, for example A9, L8, simple L8 joysticks, means the EWR170 can be customised to the exact preference and specification of operators. Once in the cab, customisable settings, such electronically adjustable heated side mirrors on both sides, allow the operator to set the machine up for optimum safety and performance ahead of their working shift.

Optional four-wheel steering

Take the manoeuvrability and versatility of the EWR170 even further with the new optional four-wheel steering. An industry first for this class of the machine, four-wheel steering dramatically reduces the turning radius of the machine; perfect for navigating tight spaces.

Sitting comfortably

Operators stay comfortably productive in the new and improved seat with a choice of four levels of seat, featuring air suspension, cooling/heating, and 2 or 3-point seatbelt. A choice of newly designed armrests, which contain fewer switches and controls and no longer touch the tilting console, further improve in-cab ergonomics and boost operator comfort.

Comfort Cabin Stairs

The Volvo patented electronically retractable ladder swings down from a recess in the side of the machine to provide safe and easy entry and exit to cab. For additional safety, the machine cannot swing or move while the ladder is in the down position.

Outstanding visibility

With an optimized cab design, operators benefit from industry-leading all-around visibility, reducing blind spots and enhancing job site safety. An integrated rear-view camera and right-hand side camera further improves visibility. The optional Volvo Smart View with new and improved High-Definition view provides operators with a 360-degree real-time view of the machine's surroundings.

LED work lights

A choice of powerful machine lights improve visibility for those in the machine and on-site when working in low light conditions, including new LED lights seamlessly integrated into the counterweight for optimal illumination and safety. A range of additional lighting options and beacons exist to enable the machine to be configured to meet the specific lighting requirements of your applications.

Anchor points for transportation

Four new conveniently located anchor points on the machine – 2 at the front and 2 at the back – allow the machine to be easily and securely restrained, facilitating safe and easy transportation on the back of a low loader or similar transport.
