High Reach Demolition Equipment EC400 Straight Boom

From E to F: top news

Fans of Volvo straight boom excavators will notice a range of improvements compared to E-generation. Starting with the optimized positioning of water spraying nozzles, which have been moved toward the front of the arm to capture the dust at the earliest stage and boost visibility. The size of the X1 return line is bigger for faster attachment movements, increasing productivity. And the demolition excavator can now benefit from the Dig Assist suite of apps, including Boundary Limits, In-Field Design and On-Board Weighing. What’s more, the base machine receives the same upgrade as conventional F-generation excavator: up to 14% higher fuel efficiency, a 10% increase in engine power and +1,000hr service interval on hydraulic oil and return filter. It also boasts a new cab that makes for a more comfortable and productive operator environment. All thanks to features such as auto power boost, boom and arm bouncing reduction, plus the ability to adjust boom down speed or customize boom/swing and boom/travel priority.

Reach, stability, ease of transport

7-meter (23 feet for North America) straight boom and dedicated arm come fully equipped for top productivity. Completed by the addition of a heavier counterweight to boost stability yet remain easy to transport.

Dust suppression system

Four nozzles fitted on the arm create a fine mist which encapsulates the dust, powered by a 30 liters per minute hydraulic pump. Operators can select between Auto or Manual mode – with water only sprayed when the attachment is operating when in Auto mode. The system can also be used for cleaning the machine, with a high-pressure water gun mounted behind the cab.

High visibility, protected cab

The already industry renowned comfort of the Volvo Care Cab is further enhanced to bolster safety and visibility. Features include Frame-mounted Falling Object Guards, ISO 12117-2:2008 compliant Roll-Over Protective Structure, and P5A grade single-piece front and roof window, which meets EN356 standards. The wide opening front guard for easy cleaning, and standard washer and wiper on the front and roof windows, further add to a safe, comfortable and convenient operator experience.

Durable by design

Experience the ultimate in protection from damage and debris. Features including boom and bucket cylinder protection, full track guard, heavy-duty undercover and belly cover, Side Impact Protection Structure, reversible cooling fan and much more, help to secure uptime and long-term performance.

Remote control

The pre-mounted option – also available as a retrofit kit for machines already in the field – has been developed in cooperation with our authorized Special Application Solutions partner and enables the machine to be operated from a safe distance. And when remote control is not necessary, it’s easy to revert to normal operation in the comfortable Volvo cab.
