OverviewWith a strong and robust undercarriage, the EC400 is a perfect partner in quarries and on construction sites across the globe. Thanks to its solid structure it can handle tough conditions like those in a quarry while offering improved fuel efficiency compared to previous models. Easier to service and with a comfortable modern cab, it meets the requirements of both owner and operator.
Key features & benefits- New electro-hydraulic system with enhanced main control valve (MCV) for precise, smooth movements and reduced fuel consumption.
- Engine-pump optimisation: engine speed can be reduced (to ~1600 rpm) with maintained performance to lower fuel use.
- Auto power boost: temporary hydraulic boost when predefined conditions are met for short periods of extra power.
- Outstanding cooling performance: smart cooling system with electric and hydraulic fans that adjust to engine coolant temperature and hydraulic workload to minimise energy use and prevent overheating.
- Volvo Active Control and Dig Assist: machine guidance, on-board weighing and intelligent systems to increase precision, speed and productivity while reducing operator fatigue.
- Boom/Swing priority functions and advanced joystick/electrical controls for faster, more ergonomic operation and improved cycle times.
- Attachments portfolio: wide range of Volvo attachments available for buckets, breakers, quick couplers and more to extend machine versatility (availability market dependent).
- Improved serviceability: long synchronized service intervals, grouped filters, ground-level access options, swing-out condenser and quick-drain ports for easier inspections and maintenance.
- Operator comfort and HMI: modern HMI, improved HVAC, reduced noise, storage options, connectivity (USB / wireless charging options) and optional camera/visibility features.
