VOLVO EW160B CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Volvo EW160B is a versatile wheeled excavator designed for efficient operation across excavation, loading, and material handling tasks. Powered by a turbocharged Volvo D6D EJE2 six-cylinder diesel engine with 347.9 cu in displacement, it generates 148 hp (110 kW) gross power and 138 hp (103 kW) net power at 2000 rpm, delivering 438.9 lb-ft of torque at 1500 rpm. The machine features an advanced axial piston hydraulic system with 12.5 gpm flow capacity and 4641 psi relief valve pressure, optimizing response and digging performance. Operating weight is approximately 37,831 lbs, with a wheelbase of 8.6 ft and an 8.4 ft overall width (12.9 ft with outriggers down). Multiple boom/stick configurations provide flexibility in reach and digging capability, with maximum cutting heights from 29.6 to 32.2 ft, digging depths from 18.1 to 19.1 ft, loading heights up to 24 ft, and maximum reach along ground near 29.6 ft. Bucket capacities range from 0.3 to 1.1 cubic yards, suitable for varied excavation demands. The machine has a ground clearance of 1.1 ft, tail swing radius of 6.6 ft, and overall cab height around 10.3 ft. It offers a max travel speed of 21.8 mph via a powershift transmission with two forward and two reverse gears. Additional features include an 80-amp alternator, 66.1-gallon fuel capacity, 68.7-gallon hydraulic oil capacity, and an 18-degree oscillating axle for terrain adaptability. The swing mechanism operates at 9.5 rpm for efficient maneuvering. This combination of powerful engine, precise hydraulics, multiple boom options, and wheeled mobility makes the Volvo EW160B suitable for diverse construction, roadwork, and infrastructure projects requiring both digging power and rapid repositioning on site.
