Regarding construction equipment, Volvo is a name that stands out from the crowd. With our latest sales campaign for 14-35 tonne excavators, CJD Equipment offers the powerful and versatile Volvo E-Series for purchases of a new excavator before 30 June 2024. These excavators are designed to take productivity and accuracy to the next level, making them the perfect choice for everyday earthmoving and civil construction jobs.
Fuel Efficiency and Clean Performance
One of the standout features of the Volvo E-Series excavators is their fuel efficiency and clean performance.
The Volvo ECR235E excavator is part of the E series and is equipped with a Stage V engine. Making them one of the most fuel-efficient and cleanest engines currently in use in Australia. This not only reduces operating costs but also minimises the environmental impact of these machines.
Hayden Grant, CJD Equipment’s National Product Manager for Volvo Construction Equipment, emphasises the fuel efficiency and clean performance of the E-Series, stating,
“The range is designed to work with effortless efficiency, with the reduced swing models in particular, offering improved safety for working in tight spaces.”
Short Swing Radius Models for Improved Safety
The Volvo E-Series short swing excavators, available in 14-ton (ECR145E), 23-ton (ECR235E), and 35-ton (ECR355E) models, are specifically designed for applications where the excavator needs to operate in tight spaces or near obstacles. These models feature a narrow body design with a centrally positioned boom, allowing the excavator to get extremely close to objects and reducing the risk of rear damage as it swings.
Grant explains the benefits of these reduced swing models, stating,
“These models are well-suited for applications where the excavator needs to operate on the side of the road or somewhere with many obstacles around. The swing radius is reduced in this range without compromising power, lift capacity, and balance.”
Volvo Dig Assist Technology for Enhanced Efficiency
The Volvo E-Series excavators are also available with the Volvo Productivity Services option of Dig Assist technology, which assists operators in achieving their full potential. This technology utilises the Volvo Co-Pilot in-cab interface to provide real-time insights into the work, ensuring the highest efficiency and productivity.
The ergonomically positioned touchscreen display of the Volvo Co-Pilot allows operators to manage all excavator functions quickly and simply from a single in-cab system. This includes selecting modes of operation, programming joystick buttons, and even Bluetooth connectivity. The intuitive control system minimises distractions and keeps the focus on the task at hand.
Grant highlights the benefits of Dig Assist, stating,
“Dig Assist offers exceptional control, whether you’re digging trenches, levelling sites, or grading slopes, and provides real-time data for a responsive and efficient operating experience. Once the pre-set operating limits are met, the Volvo Co-Pilot automatically alerts the operator through audio and visual signals.”
Three Options for Real-Time Guidance
Dig Assist offers three tech-assisted options to provide real-time guidance for operators and maximise efficiency. The standard 2D package simplifies the digging process for complex multidimensional sites. Operators can set target depth/s and draw 2D shape designs from the cabin, allowing excavation to begin quickly and accurately.
For site levelling and profiling slopes, the 2D option displays real-time data to clearly show when target depth/slope levels have been achieved, reducing the risk of under/over-excavation. The operator can visualise the bucket and the machine’s position with indicator guidelines on the screen.
Dig Assist can also be upgraded to the mid-range In-Field Design (IFD) option, which provides stronger excavation accuracy using GNSS and RTK navigation technology. Operators can input designs and work to satellite or laser positions, eliminating the need for surveyors to mark out the entire excavation site.
The 3D option incorporates TopCon and Trimble apps into the Co-Pilot interface for more complex and larger-scale projects, enabling a fully functional three-dimensional site solution. Design profiles can be imported from external sources, allowing for more accurate and efficient project execution.
