Technical Description

The Volvo EW180B is a wheeled mobile excavator featuring a turbocharged Volvo D6D EFE2 six-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 347.9 cu in, delivering a gross power of 160 hp (119 kW) and net power of 150 hp (112 kW) at 1900 rpm. It produces a net torque of 489.1 lb-ft at 1450 rpm, designed specifically for excavator use to optimize fuel efficiency and low emissions. The hydraulic system employs an axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 12.5 gpm and a relief valve pressure of 5221.4 psi, supporting smooth and powerful hydraulic functions. It features four boom and stick configurations with maximum cutting heights ranging from 29.9 to 32.9 ft and maximum digging depths spanning 18.8 to 19.4 ft. The maximum reach along ground extends up to 30.2 ft, and maximum vertical wall digging depth ranges between 13.8 and 14.2 ft depending on the option chosen. The excavator’s shipping height varies from 10.1 to 10.9 ft, with shipping lengths around 28.6 to 28.9 ft. It has a maximum bucket capacity of 1.5 cubic yards and a minimum capacity of 0.6 cubic yards, with a reference bucket capacity of 1.1 cubic yards. Operational dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.3 ft, overall width of 8.4 ft (extending to 13 ft with outriggers down), and a tail swing radius of 8.1 ft. The wheelbase measures 8.6 ft using 10.00-20 tires. The transmission is a powershift type with two forward and two reverse gears, enabling a top travel speed of 21.8 mph (34 kph). The swing mechanism operates at a speed of 9.5 rpm, and the oscillating axle angle is ±18 degrees. Fuel capacity is 79.3 gallons, hydraulic system fluid capacity is 84.6 gallons, and engine oil capacity is 6.7 gallons, ensuring extended operational endurance. The total operating weight is approximately 42,329 lbs (19,200 kg), making it suitable for versatile construction and excavation tasks requiring mobility combined with strong digging capabilities.
