Volvo CE Elevates Demolition Strength with Improved High Reach Excavators
New generation High Reach excavators are being introduced by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) to bring customers into the future and raise the bar on strength, productivity and operator comfort across demolition applications. The new EC400 High Reach and EC500 High Reach excavators respectively replace the previous generation EC380EHR and EC480EHR models – now with a fresh design and equipped with the latest innovations to pack a punch against the competition. “We are committed to producing the ultimate in heavy-duty demolition machinery. These new models have been designed to efficiently respond to customer needs, which we found out after talking to many customers and operators all over the world – and because we make our own machines from start to finish, every detail has been carefully considered and improved to ensure the best possible performance,” said Martijn Donkersloot, product manager for Demolition Equipment at Volvo CE. Benefitting from the new generation update, these machines enjoy a 15% fuel efficiency improvement due to engine pump optimization, better ground level access and longer service intervals, more precise controls and a quieter working environment. And thanks to the Smart View with optional Obstacle Detection, the working environment is safer for operators and other on-site workers too. On top of the modern advantages provided by the new generation design, these enhanced models boast several innovative engineering updates specific to High Reach excavators. These include a prolonged working range brought about by an extension boom concept, which offers greater variation in which the equipment is put to work, and by the machines’ structure and hydraulic system, which have been optimized to carry heavy attachments.
The tailor-made Demolition Assist tool provides visual and audible alerts on working range and stability information for demolition configurations, while an HD integrated front view camera display ensures maximized productivity and operator comfort. With Demolition Assist, Volvo CE has future-proofed the machine for possible new functionalities that our decommissioning customers might need in the future. In addition, the purpose-built cab offers optimum visibility, perfect for high reach demolition work, while the scratch-resistant, one-piece, P5A classified, front window and the reinforced roof window are both easily cleaned with an optimized wiper system for each. The machine is also ergonomically improved due to increased functionality in the control levers, like for example the optional Comfort Drive Control, tilting function for the cab and all kinds of smart switches. As well as these improvements, customers can continue to expect the same great advantages provided by the previous models. Volvo high reach excavators are built to ensure maximum safety in all demolition applications. A sturdy frame and cab offer the ultimate protection against falling debris, while a high visibility cab and carefully placed cameras ensure excellent stability and safety.

The hydraulic lines have also been optimized for demolition, through the increase in size of the X1 return line, which reduces the back pressure of the attachment, and a dedicated drain line for the attachment to improve oil leak rates from the rotating motor-attachment.
