Technical Description

The Volvo ECR305CL is a mid-sized crawler excavator engineered for demanding construction and earthmoving applications. This compact 30-ton class machine delivers exceptional performance with a Tier 3-certified Volvo D6E EAE3 turbocharged diesel engine producing 205 gross horsepower and 192 net horsepower at 1800 rpm. The engine displaces 433 cubic inches and features advanced combustion technology for superior fuel efficiency and low-end torque characteristics. Measuring 32 feet 8 inches in length with an operating width of 11 feet 9 inches and height of 11 feet 3 inches, the ECR305CL maintains a compact 6.1-foot tail swing radius, enabling operation in confined jobsites. Operating weight ranges from 33,800 to 37,000 kilograms (74,230 to 82,320 pounds) depending on configuration and track width options. The excavator provides a maximum digging reach of 10,635 millimeters with a maximum digging depth of 6,960 millimeters, delivering impressive breakout force of 173 kilonewtons in boost mode. The hydraulic system utilizes dual variable displacement axial piston pumps with combined flow of 526 liters per minute and 103-gallon capacity, enabling responsive cycle times and exceptional lifting capacity of 11,000 kilograms at specified reach and height. Propelled by automatic two-speed travel motors with maximum drawbar pull of 58,430 pounds, the ECR305CL achieves speeds up to 2.8 miles per hour. An intelligent hydraulic system with operator-selectable flow and pressure optimization, combined with rugged undercarriage design and 1,865-millimeter tail swing radius, positions this machine as a class-leading performer for diverse earthmoving operations requiring stability, power, and maneuverability.
