VOLVO COMPACT EXCAVATORS

EC25, EC30

More care. Built in.

DEMANDING PERFORMANCE - ON DEMAND.

The jobs are getting more demanding and the Volvo EC25 and EC30 Compact Excavators are ready. Experience smooth control, comfort and versatility. With ease of service, durability, and safety throughout, you get the ultimate in productivity and profitability for your tough demands.

Your top performer We always look to the best and keep going back, because we know the best always delivers. Look to the Volvo EC25 and EC30, and meet your new top performer. Climb in the spacious cab, look around and get a visual command of the entire jobsite with excellent visibility and clear line of sight down to the bucket. Dig in with the powerful Volvo bucket and get the performance you demand with a large range of movement that rotates over 200. Its the type of bucket performance you would expect from a full-size excavator and it guarantees a good entry angle and square excavations at all depths. Because many of todays jobsites are narrow and congested, youll appreciate the hydraulic offset of the boom, which reduces the overall dimensions of the excavator and makes it possible to work alongside a wall, building or roadside.

An efficient use of your resources Get the job done and save some of your valuable resources - like time and fuel. The Volvo engine offers proven performance, superior fuel efficiency and power for fast cycle times that will get you moving on to the next profitable job. With strong bucket breakout and digging depth deep enough to get the job done, the EC25 and EC30 are the perfect fit for the job. The powerful load-sensing hydraulic system uses the best technology available. Its not only easy to operate, it also gives you powerful, smooth operation and a total independence of all movements. The hydraulic load-sensing circuit enables the use of two or more hydraulic functions without loss of power or movement. Get ready for increased productivity, because its never been easier to get more done. Make quick work of multiple jobs With compact equipment, you want the flexibility to tackle a wide range of jobs with speed and ease for maximum profits. Volvo EC25 and EC30 Compact Excavators help you do more with the exclusive Volvo quick coupling attachment bracket. Move from job to job, switching buckets and attachments with ease - all from the operators cab. The next time the job calls for a variety of tasks, you wont need an entire fleet of machines. The Volvo quick coupling attachment bracket gets the job done fast.

Quick coupler for fast, easy changes.

Wide range of available attachments.

2 Large range of movement: over 200.

Rear impact protected counterweight. Optimum load-sensing efficiency. Easy-to-use smooth, precision controls.

THE COMFORTABLE SIDE OF DURABILITY.

On the jobsite, theres a lot going on. In a Volvo EC25 or EC30, youre in total control, with your attention keenly focused on the task. Youre surrounded in comfortable features and quality, sturdy components built to last. The day is long, but you are ready - just like your machine.

Comfort that brings out your best Open the cab door and experience the spacious Volvo cab. The vast, flat floor provides plenty of legroom, even for tall operators. Theres also ample space for tools and personal items. The transport levers are equipped with pedals for simultaneous control of the earthmoving equipment and of forward movement. The hydraulic attachment control pedal is positioned to the right for easy access, folding away when not in use. Its all right here Inside, everything you need is perfectly placed - right in front of you - in sight and at easy reach. The instrument panel with grouped control gauges keeps you informed of all key machine functions. The power-assisted controls offer the quick and smooth, precise operation you demand - particularly when performing delicate, detail work. With ergonomically designed armrests, the forearms rest comfortably to keep you fresher and more productive. The short responsive joysticks avoid excessive operating movements, reduce fatigue and offer precise control.

Built for big performance The design is compact, but the performance is bigger than you might expect. Just like larger Volvo Excavators, the Volvo EC25 and EC30 Compact Excavators are built to last, with durable frames and components. The direct swing crown wheel is driven directly by a hydraulic motor. This provides no wear, no play in the crown wheel drive and no maintenance costs. The long-length durable tracks offer exceptional stability, greater safety and reduced ground pressure. Built for todays jobsites Durability means long life and greater uptime. The sturdy top chassis features a double-yoke pivot that doubles the bearing surface on the chassis, enabling the fitting of a longer pin. with less wear and reduced pin to bearing play. The X-shaped undercarriage offers a better load distribution on the side members for more rigidity and sturdiness. The top part of the side members slope to prevent debris collection and to facilitate easy cleaning. For safe operation on todays narrow jobsites, the wrap-around shape of the counterweight provides excellent protection against rear impacts.

Spacious and comfortable cab.

All-day comfort ergonomic armrests.

4 Large floor area and plenty of legroom.

Instrument panel keeps you informed. No wear, no play swing = no maintenance. The long-length durable tracks offers exceptional stability.

SAFELY MAINTAIN YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

At Volvo, your safety is our priority. Thats why Volvo EC25 and EC30 Compact Excavators are built with safety features that keep you working with complete peace of mind. To keep you productive - longer Volvo Compact Excavators are built for ease of service and maximum uptime.
Youre in the safe zone Its time to get to work, and Volvo makes sure its safe from the first step. Climb into the operators cab, gripping the safety handles and entering through the wide opening door. The cab floor and steps are non-slip. When the left console is raised, all machine and travel controls are locked in the neutral position to avoid risk of accident. Seated in the quiet cab, experience excellent 360 visibility thanks to large window surface areas that provide a superior command of the entire jobsite. The rounded contour and very compact shape of the engine cover also provides good visibility to the rear, particularly on congested jobsites. Protecting whats important Todays jobsites can be dangerous and unpredictable. Thats why Volvo helps to ensure operator safety with durable structures. The EC25 and EC30 feature cabs and canopies of a very high level of safety, guaranteed by the FOPS 1, ROPS and TOPS certifications and to keep you safely planted in your seat, a seatbelt is standard equipment. All access availability The best way to achieve greater productivity and greater profitability is through dependable machines that are up and running. Volvo helps you avoid unplanned downtime with machines built for simple, easy maintenance. The key is accessibility, and the EC25 and EC30 provide perfect accessibility to the hydraulics and engine compartments. The control valves and all of the hydraulic components are located in an easy access hydraulics compartment located on the side of the machine. For the ultimate in engine access, youll appreciate a Volvo exclusive: the opening counterweight. This Volvo innovation not only offers excellent accessibility of the engine compartment, it also provides total protection to the rear of the machine, due to the wrap-around shape of the counterweight. Intelligent, by design For less wear and less maintenance time, all of the hoses that supply the boom are loose fitted on the outside of the machine, without going into the pivot. This helps prevent rubbing and wear, while making it easy to replace the hoses if necessary. Its just another of the many ways Volvo offers More care. Built in. Complete hydraulic compartment access.

Locking controls help prevent accidents.

6 X-shaped undercarriage.

Loose fitting hoses resist downtime. Long-life sturdy top chassis. Swinging counterweight for easy access.
