The Volvo ECR355EL is a compact-radius crawler excavator in Volvo's excavator lineup, designed for work in confined job sites where reduced tail swing is important. It is commonly used in construction, utility, site preparation, and earthmoving applications. The ECR355EL features a diesel engine, hydraulic excavator controls, and a tracked undercarriage for stability and traction on uneven ground. Its short rear swing radius supports operation near walls, traffic, and other obstacles. As an excavator, it is configured for digging, trenching, loading, grading, and material handling with compatible buckets and attachments.
