Compact excavators from Volvo Construction Equipment offer big performance in a smaller size
The Volvo EC35C compact excavator features a conventional excavator design for exceptional stability with minimal superstructure swing. It has a cast-steel X-frame undercarriage for sturdy operation and improved load distribution and is powered by a low emission, water-cooled Volvo diesel engine, providing dependable performance and fuel efficiency.
The Volvo EC35C features a new forward-style cab with right-side mounted engine for enhanced service accessibility. Service points have also been placed together for fast daily maintenance. The machine is available with either a canopy or optional cab with heat and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Each cab offers exceptional leg and foot room.
High performance
Simultaneous control of swing and boom offset movement enables faster, more precise performance. Blade float allows for quick and easy backfilling, leveling and finish work. The joystick control lever is equipped with an electronically proportional roller, allowing the operator to accurately adjust hydraulic flow to the attachments as needed. The automatic two-speed travel system engages at high speeds, automatically shifting gears from high to low according to the travel load. A Volvo-patented mono-pump hydraulic system efficiently uses one system for all hydraulics, delivering precise control and ideal power. Available options include a hydraulic angle backfill blade, a hydraulic thumb and a second double-acting attachment circuit operated through fingertip control on the joystick.
Operating efficiency
The Volvo EC35C is equipped with a standard auto-idling system that lowers engine speed to idle if the operator does not use the controls for five seconds. This delivers lower fuel consumption, less on-site noise and long engine life.
Operator comfort
Each machine has a sliding side window, an opening lower front window and a gas strut-assisted front windshield that opens wide and secures overhead. A multi-adjustable high-back seat provides proper head, neck and back support. The seat and console joysticks are mounted on the same suspension for smooth operation on rough terrain. Isolation-mounted cabs reduce vibration.
Safety features
The cabs and canopies of the new Volvo excavators have standard ROPS, FOPS, and TOPS safety structures for their working environments. Visibility around the machines is panoramic due to expansive glass, narrow cab pillars and a compact rear design.
Serviceability
Easy-access covers on both machines give unobstructed access to routine service points. The instrument panel provides operators with at-a-glance monitoring of all key machine functions.
