Features & Benefits

The trailer hitch For maximum versatility and productivity, take all your tools to the jobsite in one trip.

A vision of versatility

Made in Germany, the Volvo EW180E 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.

Volvo e-series wheeled excavators: efficient and versatile

Carry all of your tools with you in one easy trip in the Volvo EW160E and EW180E wheeled excavators. Volvo's wheeled excavators are designed to optimize machine performance, featuring a variety of work modes and travel speeds as well as optional hydraulics function. Minimize travel time and enhance productivity on site with the trailer hitch for greater versatility and uptime.

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.

Cab Volvo’s industry-leading cab provides excellent visibility that is crucial for operator comfort, control and safety on your jobsite.

Operate in style

To ensure comfort and productivity, operating the EW180E 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.

Volvo e-series wheeled excavators: operate with ease

Engineered for ease of operation, the Volvo EW160E and EW180E wheeled excavators deliver the perfect combination of comfort and productivity. The climate controlled cab and ergonomically designed interface contribute to a happier and more effective work environment. With a reduction in the number of switches used, operating the excavators has never been easier.

HM

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 peaceof-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.

Boom Suspension System The Boom Suspension System improves operator comfort and allows for faster travel over bumpy roads or rough terrain.

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 EW180E wheeled excavator is equipped with the latest features to make an operator feel safe and in control of the machine at all times.

Volvo e-series wheeled excavators: control with confidence

We want you to feel confident when using the Volvo EW160E and EW180E wheeled excavators. That's why we've designed the machines with increased controllability and responsiveness in mind. Not only does this give the operator greater confidence, it also maximizes machine control and on site efficiency. Feel safe at all times with the new hydraulic system, allowing maximum utilization of available engine power regardless of the application, ensuring safer controlled movement. Get a bird's eye view of your movements with Smart View, offering a 360o view of real footage happening in real time.

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.

Stretched two-piece-boom The newly developed stretched two-piece boom enhances working ability and increases the total reach by approximately half a meter.

Flex your features

The EW180E 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.
