Volvo Construction Equipment is launching new generation excavators for Oceania with the six new models combining “cutting-edge technology, robust design, and industry-leading efficiency to benefit various industrial applications”.
From agriculture and roadwork to general construction, trenching, and quarrying, the six Volvo CE excavator models are designed to provide reliability and performance in a variety of applications. The excavators draw from years of design and testing, bringing intelligent machine control and a proven legacy to Oceania.
Excavator product manager at Volvo CE Region International, Olle Watz, says each excavator integrates engine-pump optimisation technology, delivering up to 15% greater fuel-efficiency compared to previous models.
With enhanced production and reduced emissions, Watz notes that the excavators help provide greater cost savings while maintaining performance. A brand-new cab design has also been implemented to increase operator support.
“These new generation excavators can deliver premium quality and heavy-duty performance,” he says.
“They mark another way Volvo CE is continuing to understand and adapt to the unique needs of customers and end-users by providing superior, highly productive options.
“These machines have been developed with a focus on reliability and adaptability, ensuring they excel in varying conditions, offer best-in-class fuel efficiency, and deliver value to operators worldwide.”
Three of the excavators have capabilities to handle heavy loads and challenging terrains with ease. The others are higher-capacity machines built for the most demanding tasks.
Volvo CE says a newly designed ROPS-certified cab offers improved ergonomics, intuitive controls, and advanced human-machine interface (HMI) systems, providing operators with a comfortable, productive working environment, with enhanced visibility, reduced noise levels, and efficient HVAC systems.
All models are compatible with Volvo Dig Assist – an optional intelligent machine control system that improves excavation precision and productivity.
Operators can utilise tools such as real-time weighing, automated digging, and smart monitoring, which enhance efficiency, with Volvo Smart View producing 360° machine visibility. Additional features such as preset depth, height, and swing limits further enhance on-site safety.
All models in the series are powered by Volvo engines and advanced hydraulic systems, and are built to meet the evolving demands of the industrial landscape, Watz adds.
