Volvo’s largest wheeled excavator model to date, the EW230C offers superior stability in heavier lift operations such as pipe laying and hard digging thanks to a new, more robust platform. Its design ensures that the rear axle weight, when fitted with a standard counterweight, remains below 12 tonnes – making it approved for road travel between sites.
The EW230C is powered by a Volvo D6E EHE3 diesel engine, developing 125 kW/168hp net at 1,900 rpm, delivering power where it is needed and giving it an enviable lift capacity. A choice of 5.7m (18.7ft) mono or optional articulated two-piece boom is available, while Volvo’s automatic lubrication system not only ensures correct lubrication but also reduces lubricant use by 50%.
