The Volvo ECR355E short swing radius excavator brings an entirely new size class to the Volvo excavator lineup — offering power and production in a short swing design capable of working in more confined spaces.
Powered by a 241-hp (180 kW) Volvo D8 Tier IV Final engine that combines high torque and low rpm, the ECR355E delivers an 18 percent increase in horsepower and 28 percent increase in torque over the preceding model it replaces, the Volvo ECR305C.
The advanced electro-hydraulic system works with the powerful Volvo engine, resulting in a 10 percent increase in fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and faster, smoother operation.
"The ECR355E fills a need in the market for a powerful 35-ton machine in a short swing design capable of heavy, high-production work in tight areas that would otherwise require a smaller, less productive machine," said Sejong Ko, excavator product manager at Volvo Construction Equipment. "Packed with optional features for added versatility, as well as all of our E-Series updates, the ECR355E is perfect for everything from heavy infrastructure and utility work to demolition and road building."
The ECR355E features all the E-Series updates, as well as a range of new options for increased versatility.
The ECR355E is equipped with an X-frame undercarriage built with forged steel top rollers, and rugged boom and arms for sustainable uptime and longevity. Wide-opening compartment doors allow unobstructed ground-level access to essential maintenance points, including pump pressure taps, filters and the cooling package. With logically grouped greasing manifolds and anti-slip plates, operators can get back to work quickly and safely. The reversible cooling fan regulates the temperature of vital components and adjusts automatically according to its cooling demand — reducing fuel consumption and noise.
In addition to enhanced hydraulics that add increased fuel efficiency, the ECR355E is equipped with ECO mode, auto idle and auto engine shutdown features, as well integrated work modes that allow the operator to dial in the exact amount of power and controllability for the task at hand. The ECR355E's fuel economy is backed by a fuel efficiency guarantee; if the model's fuel consumption and productivity do not meet model-rated efficiency levels, Volvo will reimburse a portion of the additional fuel.
The Volvo ECR355E is supported by a range of services and support programs such as the Volvo Lifetime Frame and Structure Warranty, which covers the frame, boom and arm for the entirety of the initial period of ownership. The ECR355E is eligible for ActiveCare Direct, the Volvo service that provides 24/7/365 active machine monitoring and fleet utilization reporting directly from Volvo. ActiveCare Direct is free for one year with select new machine purchases, including the ECR355E.
