4 Reasons to buy EC37

Here are the four arguments for why the EC37 is the best fit if you are looking for a compact excavator that is easy to operate and has the stability of a larger machine.

Outstanding comfort

Ensuring the operator has a comfortable cab is key in order to reduce fatigue and effect productivity. The EC37 has the same cab as bigger machines such as the ECR50. It is considered one of the best cabs on the market because it is quiet, spacious and ergonomic. Please read more about it in detail here (link to the page about the cab)  .

Great controllability

The EC37 hydraulics make it much smoother to operate and offer superb combined operations. You can manage the hydraulic attachments with precision thanks to the proportional fingertip controls. The automotive style jogwheel and 5” color display enables intuitive navigation through the menus for further fine tuning, allowing the EC37 to be adapted to any job requirement.

Easy to use for new operators

Skilled operator shortage is a fact in most industries today. Therefore, the EC37 could be your perfect choice as even newly trained operators quickly learn to handle it. Because of its smooth controls, improved stability and the new style cab, which aims to help focus and lessen fatigue, it is easy to get the best performance out of the machine even for a new operator.

Stable operations

Working conditions are often challenging. The EC37 extended track lines enable it to handle most environments. The contact between the tracks and the ground is longer, meaning that machines have much better weight balance. The stability is immediately noticeable for the operator and will impact positively on your productivity.

Despite being a compact machine, EC37 has a spacious cab with features designed to reduce operators’ fatigue and increase comfort.

Compact machine, spacious cab

Operators are your biggest assets. A difficult or uncomfortable cab can affect their performance and ultimately the overall productivity. EC37 is equipped with a modern look and feel cab with the ambition to create a great working environment for operators.

Comfortable CAB

Not only does the cab offer a high level of comfort, but the machine itself follows the same modern exterior design as ECR50 and ECR58. The spacious cab is designed with several features to make operators feel less fatigued after a productive day’s work. You will enjoy reduced noise levels and a comfortable suspended seat with high back and head rest. Suspended right and left consoles and joysticks as well. A handy storage space allows operators to store a coolbox or documents while you work.

Smoother operation

Because of hydraulics the controls in EC37 are more precise, which makes it easier for operators to achieve what you are trying to do, leading to better machine performance. If there is more than one person operating the machine, you can set the controls up however fits each person the best and they will follow the autonomy of the operator.   The new style HMI allows easy access to the menu and a simple change the settings with a few clicks, to suit personal preferences.

Standard ROPS CAB

A ROPS cab comes as standard for the EC37. The tiltable console gives you more space to enter the cab and offers more operator comfort. Large mirrors help you operate safely in all conditions.

Highlighted features

EC37 is a compact excavator that has a lot to offer. Apart from being equipped with a modern cab for the ultimate operator experience and being easy to operate, we would like to highlight some other features of the machine.

Serviceability

Spend less time carrying out maintenance. A 50-hour greasing interval, easily accessed service points and wide-opening engine hood all help to keep uptime to a maximum. With auto engine shutdown, hours not worked are not recorded, keeping your machine efficient for longer while reducing maintenance costs. The patented multifunction hydraulic oil filter provides outstanding protection to the hydraulic system.

Dashboard

Changing between hydraulic attachments is easy. In EC37 you can pre-program the hydraulic settings best suited to all your attachments in just a few steps. You can then choose whether operators select pre-defined settings only or leave the option for operators to make final hydraulic adjustments from the cab.

Compact but powerful

The EC37 offers superior stability, breakout force, tear out force and lifting capacity. Experience fast cycle times, even when taking on tough applications and heavy loads. High system pressure delivers impressive tractive force when climbing gradients or traveling over rough terrain.

Volvo hydraulic thumb

The Volvo hydraulic thumb opens a whole-new-world of productivity in your compact excavator. The hydraulic thumb, which is an option, is matched for use on Volvo machines and the different attachments which they operate. It delivers the flexibility and control needed for optimum results across a wide range of applications such as lifting, piling, carrying, placing and loading. It can be fully retracted against the arm for full unobstructed use of the bucket or breaker. Thanks to the proportional roller on the top of the joystick you will get a smooth and easy finger tip control of the thumb.
