VOLVO EW160D CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Volvo EW160D is a robust wheeled excavator powered by a 6-cylinder Volvo D6H engine delivering a maximum of 154 hp (115 kW) at 1900 rpm and a peak torque of 559.1 lb-ft at 1500 rpm. It has an operating weight of approximately 37,715 lbs and features multiple boom and arm configurations, including options with boom lengths of about 16.5 ft and arm lengths ranging from 20 ft to 31 ft, providing versatile reach capabilities for diverse excavation tasks. The machine’s maximum digging reach extends up to 31.7 ft, with maximum digging depths reaching 20.6 ft depending on the boom-stick option chosen. Max cutting height can achieve up to 31.1 ft, while the maximum dumping height reaches 21.6 ft. The hydraulic system operates at an implement pressure of 4930 psi with a main pump flow rate of 67.7 gpm, complemented by a low noise servo pump and a pilot circuit at 490 psi to ensure smooth and efficient operation. This system powers multifunctional arm movements and additional hydraulic tools such as a hammer function. The excavator has a minimum front slew radius of approximately 10.4 ft and a tail swing radius around 7.1 ft, facilitating maneuverability in confined spaces. It achieves travel speeds up to 22 mph on-road and 5 mph off-road, with a swing mechanism providing a speed of 10 rpm and torque of 37.2 lb-ft. Dimensionally, the EW160D has an overall width of 108.3 in, ground clearance of 1.2 ft, and a wheelbase of 8.6 ft. Critical fluid capacities include a 66.1-gallon fuel tank, 32.5 gallons for the hydraulic tank, and 8.8 gallons of engine coolant. Safety and operator comfort features like a pressurized and heated cab, air conditioning, camera system, and multi-adjustable seat are also standard. This combination of power, reach, hydraulic precision, and operator-centric design makes the Volvo EW160D highly effective for medium to heavy wheeled excavation tasks.
