New Volvo ECR355 Excavator: A Prime Mover for High-Performance Excavator Attachments

Volvo Construction Equipment has expanded its next-generation lineup with the introduction of the ECR355, a 35-metric-ton short tailswing excavator now available in North America. Designed for efficiency and power in confined spaces, this machine presents a formidable platform for a wide range of applications.

Powered by a 253-horsepower engine, the ECR355 incorporates a new electro-hydraulic system that improves fuel efficiency by 7% over previous models. This system is critical for attachment performance, delivering the smooth and precise control required for operating tools like hydraulic breakers and grapples. The excavator also features a significant 7% increase in lifting capacity, now at 26,631 pounds, and 4% more tractive force, ensuring it can handle demanding tasks and heavy attachments with ease.

Operator productivity is enhanced through a redesigned, spacious cab that offers superior comfort and visibility. Key features like Volvo Active Control and Dig Assist applications further streamline operations, reducing operator fatigue and improving grading accuracy. From a maintenance perspective, the ECR355 stands out with some of the industry's longest service intervals, including 1,000-hour engine oil changes, which maximizes uptime and reduces operational costs.

A capable excavator like the ECR355 requires equally robust attachments to maximize its potential. To equip your new machine with a high-performance hydraulic breaker tailored to its specifications, contact SLYM Machinery for a professional consultation and quote.
