Features and benefits for EW160E
A vision of versatility
Made in Germany, the Volvo EW160E wheeled excavator is an efficient and versatile machine that can make your life easier on the job site as well as increase productivity. Take all your tools with you in one trip and avoid any unnecessary travelling.
Work modes
The E-Series Wheeled Excavators feature four work modes combined with three travel speeds. In total 12 different combinations to be chosen to provide optimum performance and improved fuel efficiency.
Breaker/shear (X1) and tilt/rotate (X3) management
Increase your wheeled excavator versatility with optional hydraulics functions X1 breaker/shear and X3 tilt/rotate. X1 function utilizes the main system hydraulic flow to operate attachments requiring one or two way flow whereas X3 function provides an appropriate two way flow for tilting or rotating attachments.
Drawer type tool box
This newly developed and unique concept has been tested to carry up to 120kg. Due to the smooth sliding action, it’s much easier for the operator to pull out chains using the machine or other equipment manually without having to bend over or strain their body. Because it acts as a slide-out drawer, items are more visible so you can check and adjust your toolbox content much easier. A mechanical stopper has been added to prevent it from sliding out of the machine and the box dividers can be adjusted into five different positions.
Operate in style
To ensure comfort and productivity, operating the EW160E has been designed with easy operation in mind. The cab, HMI and luxuries like climate control all contribute to a happier and more comfortable operator for increased uptime.
HMI
All machine interfaces – including the joysticks, keypad and LCD monitor – are ergonomically positioned and designed for optimum control and efficiency. For operator convenience and ease of use, the number of switches has been significantly reduced.
ROPS
The Volvo cab features Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) safety certification, which provides more operator safety and peace-of-mind when operating in tough environments. It also provides greater ergonomic comfort leading to reduced fatigue and increased productivity.
In cab fluid check
As soon as you start up your machine it checks all fluid levels on board, including engine oil and hydraulic fluid. The machine’s electronic display will tell the operator if any fluids need attention, keeping the machine running at its best and free from any unscheduled downtime.
Fuel filler pump
The fuel filler electric pump can deliver 50 liters of fuel per minute for easy and clean filling of the fuel tank from ground level. It is conveniently located next to the fuel tank.
Control with confidence
It’s not just being comfortable in the machine that is important – confidence while operating is also a key element in ensuring productivity. The EW160E wheeled excavator is equipped with the latest features to make an operator feel safe and in control of the machine at all times.
New hydraulic system
The improved hydraulic system allows maximum utilization of available engine power regardless of the application, increasing controllability and responsiveness of operations. This results in higher operator efficiency and safer controlled movement.
Volvo Smart View
Three cameras attached to different corners of the machine – the front, side and back – create a bird’s eye view of the machine operating from above. The cameras also provide individual views of the front, side and back of the machine so you can see all angles and ensure safe rotation. This intelligent and industry leading technology offers a 360o view of real footage happening in real time.
Tractive force
Built to last, Volvo’s durable wheeled excavator undercarriage is built for tough work. Travelling on inclines or difficult terrain is easy thanks to increased tractive force.
Flex your features
The EW160E wheeled excavator can be tailored to your precise specifications to suit any jobsite. With a whole range of flexible configurations you can change attachments easily and add on useful features.
Undercarriage – with or without trailer hook
Volvo’s built to last undercarriage is available with a trailer hook for added convenience. Volvo offers the machine with a hitch so you can pull trailers up to eight tonnes with dry run brakes and 3 tonnes without brakes.
Arm/grapple system
Expand your working scope with a wide range of boom and arm options. The different arm lengths can be chosen according to jobsite requirements and market legislation. The grapple manoeuvre connection allows the exchange of tools. Instead of going to the cylinder, the oil is redirected directly to the attachment which enables the operator to steer the attachment with the right hand joystick.
Tyres
Choose from a wide range of high quality tyres to best suit your jobsite, including single and twin tyres. Depending on ground conditions, Volvo offers 12 different configurations of tyres from eight different suppliers.
Fuelling reliable and efficient operations
For maximum efficiency and reliability, the EW160E features Volvo’s most powerful Stage IV engine. The machine has also been designed and rigorously tested to reduce fuel consumption and increase your productivity.
ECO mode
For increased fuel efficiency ECO mode turns on automatically, which reduces your fuel consumption while maintaining productivity.
Design and testing
The Volvo EW160E wheeled excavator has been designed and tested to ensure the highest standard of reliability and efficiency. Components, systems and technology work together to increase machine life and productivity.
Robust axles
The robust excavator axles with automatic or operator controlled front axle oscillation are highly durable and made to last for increased wear and component life.
Ground clearance
The undercarriage protects itself with high ground clearance and is strong enough to endure hard ground and tough surface conditions.
No downtime to waste
Specifically for waste handling applications, the EW160E can be equipped with excellent features to ensure maximum productivity and durability on site. This tough environment can be counteracted with a EW160E excavator.
Waste handling package
A combination of three features, including the cyclonic engine precleaner, screened ventilation covers with additional sealing around side doors and reversible cooling fans all make waste handling more comfortable for the operator.
Solid rubber tyres
The solid rubber tyres are designed to meet the most demanding requirements and are manufactured using the latest construction techniques, to offer the industry’s most durable, versatile and longlasting resilient tire.
Special grab arms
Special grab arms for attachments (such as sorting grapples) don’t require the use of a bucket cylinder. To operate these attachments, the bucket control function is used to open and close the grapple.
Wide axles – 2.75 m
For better side stability the EW160E is optionally equipped with 2.75 m axles. The blade will automatically be 2.75 m wide, but the outriggers, however, are the same with wide or standard axles.
