Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) continues its largest product rollout in 20 years with the new 25-ton short-swing ECR255 excavator, designed for maximum performance in confined work sites. Replacing the ECR235E, the ECR255 offers a 7% increase in lift capacity, an 80-horsepower engine boost, and a 10% reduction in fuel consumption compared with its predecessor.
Enhanced Operator Comfort
The ECR255 features a cab 20% larger than typical short-swing models, with reduced noise, improved ergonomics, and productivity-focused amenities. The Volvo Co-Pilot display is larger and higher-resolution, offering customizable machine settings. Operators also benefit from Bluetooth connectivity, wireless phone charging, and a dedicated heating/cooling compartment for food and drinks.
Performance and Efficiency
Powered by the Volvo D6L engine, compliant with European Stage V and U.S. Tier 4 Final emissions standards, the ECR255 delivers smoother, fuel-efficient operation with advanced electro-hydraulic controls. Features include smart cooling, engine speed regulation, auto-idling, automatic engine shutdown, and customizable work modes.
Advanced Technology Options
Volvo Smart View with obstacle detection provides a 360-degree view of the machine’s surroundings, distinguishing humans from objects for added safety. Operators can also take advantage of Volvo Active Control, which automates boom and bucket movements for faster, more accurate digging and grading, completing tasks up to 45% faster and reducing fatigue.
With its combination of power, precision, and operator comfort, the new ECR255 sets a new benchmark for short-swing excavators operating in confined environments.
