Overview
The EC300 Straight Boom is a demolition variant of a Volvo crawler excavator fitted with a 7-metre straight boom that increases reach by 30% compared with standard configurations. It delivers improved jobsite visibility, outstanding stability and lifting performance, and reinforced protection against falling debris for safer demolition operations.

Key selling points

• Increased reach: 30% extended reach versus a standard crawler excavator, enabling tasks at greater distance from the machine.
• Stability and lifting capability: redesigned counterweight and machine configuration to enhance stability and lifting while keeping the machine transportable.
• Protection: engineered for demolition with guards and heavy-duty protection systems to reduce damage and downtime.

Features & Benefits

• From E to F – product improvements: Optimised water-spray nozzle positioning to capture dust earlier; larger X1 return line for faster attachment movements; availability of the Dig Assist suite (Boundary Limits, In-Field Design, On-Board Weighing); up to 14% improved fuel efficiency; approx. 10% increase in engine power; +1,000 hr service interval on hydraulic oil and return filter; redesigned cab for operator comfort; auto power boost; boom and arm bounce reduction; adjustable boom down speed and customizable boom/swing and boom/travel priority.
• Reach and stability: 7-metre straight boom with a dedicated arm and a heavier hydraulically removable counterweight for superior working stability and simplified transport; optional LED lighting on counterweight.
• Dust suppression system: Four nozzles on the arm produce a fine mist to encapsulate dust, driven by a 30 L/min hydraulic pump; selectable Auto or Manual modes (Auto sprays water only when the attachment operates); system can also be used for machine cleaning with a high-pressure water gun mounted behind the cab.
• High visibility, protected cab: Volvo Care Cab designed for visibility and safety with frame-mounted falling object guards, ISO 12117-2:2008 compliant ROPS, P5A grade single-piece front and roof window meeting EN356 standards; wide-opening front guard for cleaning; front and roof window washer and wiper.
