Volvo CE’s redesigned short-swing excavator upgrades precision and lifting capabilities

Higher performance in tight spaces

Built for versatility, the ECR355 offers a 7 percent increase in lifting capacity and 4 percent more tractive force, unlocking new possibilities for heavy lifting, grading, and loading in confined environments. 

Volvo’s Active Control system automates boom and bucket movements for up to 45 percent faster grading with less rework and fatigue. Integrated boundary limits and Dig Assist apps support 2D/3D machine control and in-field design, helping operators work faster, safer, and more accurately. Features like boundary limits, boom/swing priority functions, and a floating dozer blade ensure precision, speed, and safety.

Built for uptime 

Volvo excavators feature long service intervals, including 1,000-hour engine oil changes and 3,000-hour hydraulic oil changes. These synchronized intervals are aligned in 1,000-hour increments. The ECR355 is designed to stay working longer, with industry-leading service intervals and simplified maintenance access. Key components are grouped for easy reach, with ground-level refilling and quick-drain ports to minimize downtime. 

Volvo’ Smart View with People and Obstacle Detection uses 360-degree cameras and intelligent radar to enhance site safety. Meanwhile, CareTrack telematics and ActiveCare 24/7 provide real-time machine health data and predictive maintenance alerts which keeps fleets productive and protected.
