The Volvo EW60E compact wheeled excavato is equipped with a Volvo Tier 4 Final engine and adjustable hydraulic flow. The EW60E has 12 percent more horsepower than prior series models while delivering a 10 percent improvement in fuel efficiency due to a smaller displacement engine with turbo charger.
The standard offset boom allows the operator to adjust to applications that require working in confined areas. The offset boom also provides the operator with a clear view to the bucket, designed to improve accuracy when working in areas with congested utilities. The operator can also adjust the speed of the offset boom through the control panel, enabling precise movements.
Four-wheel drive and a top speed of 18.6 mph guarantee excellent mobility and speed on and off road. The front axle can also be hydraulically locked for additional stability on uneven terrain. The dozer blade at the rear of the machine provides additional stability.
The EW60E features the latest generation Volvo cab with 10 percent more space than prior compact versions, including more room behind the seat. Storage space includes a phone tray, two power sockets, a cup holder and three other large storage areas.
A thinner pillar, larger glazed area and enlarged wiper blade all are designed to improve visibility. The optional rearview camera is viewable through a 7-inch color LCD display.
For easy, intuitive operation, the keypad design groups all controls on the right-hand side, and the LCD screen displays all machine information for access to functions through simplified menus. The hot keys allow the operator to directly access pre-set functions for added convenience. The improved proportional joystick is designed for better grip and ease of control.
The EW60E is equipped with a number of features designed for ease of service, including ground-level service access and convenient greasing points . Service intervals can easily be monitored via the in-cab screen, which displays maintenance reminders.
The new Volvo engine and improved hydraulics work together to maximize fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. With the standard auto-idle feature — a unique offering from Volvo — the engine stops automatically after a preselected idle time.
The EW60E comes standard with Volvo CareTrack telematics and Volvo MATRIS (Machine Tracking Information System) software. Together, the technologies allow the fleet manager to remotely monitor a wide range of machine diagnostics in real time, as well as machine utilization data over longer periods of time.
The EW60E can be equipped with a wide range of durable attachments that are suitable for anything from utilities and building to agriculture, landscaping and forestry. These attachments can be changed using either a mechanical or hydraulic quick coupler. Bucket options include everything from general-purpose buckets to thumb buckets and specialized ditching buckets. The EW60E is also compatible with Volvo hydraulic breakers.
