Your top performerWe always look to the best and keepgoing back, because we know the bestalways delivers. Look to the Volvo EC25and EC30, and meet your new topperformer. Climb in the spacious cab, lookaround and get a visual command of theentire jobsite with excellent visibility andclear line of sight down to the bucket.Dig in with the powerful Volvo bucket andget the performance you demand with alarge range of movement that rotates over200°. It’s the type of bucket performanceyou would expect from a full-sizeexcavator and it guarantees a good entryangle and square excavations at alldepths. Because many of today’s jobsitesare narrow and congested, you’llappreciate the hydraulic offset of theboom, which reduces the overalldimensions of the excavator and makes itpossible to work alongside a wall, buildingor roadside.

An efficient use of your resources Get the job done and save some of yourvaluable resources - like time and fuel.The Volvo engine offers provenperformance, superior fuel efficiency andpower for fast cycle times that will get youmoving on to the next profitable job. Withstrong bucket breakout and digging depthdeep enough to get the job done, theEC25 and EC30 are the perfect fit for thejob. The powerful load-sensing hydraulicsystem uses the best technologyavailable. It’s not only easy to operate,it also gives you powerful, smoothoperation and a total independence of allmovements. The hydraulic load-sensingcircuit enables the use of two or morehydraulic functions without loss of poweror movement. Get ready for increasedproductivity, because it’s never beeneasier to get more done.

Make quick work of multiple jobs With compact equipment, you want theflexibility to tackle a wide range of jobswith speed and ease for maximum profits.Volvo EC25 and EC30 CompactExcavators help you do more with theexclusive Volvo quick coupling attachmentbracket. Move from job to job, switchingbuckets and attachments with ease - allfrom the operator’s cab. The next time thejob calls for a variety of tasks, you won’tneed an entire fleet of machines.The Volvo quick coupling attachmentbracket gets the job done fast.

DEMANDING PERFORMANCE - ON DEMAND.

• Wide range of available attachments.

• Quick coupler for fast, easy changes.

• Large range of movement: over 200°.

• Rear impact protectedcounterweight.

• Optimum load-sensing efficiency.

• Easy-to-use smooth, precisioncontrols.

On the jobsite, there’s a lot going on. In a Volvo EC25or EC30, you’re in total control, with your attentionkeenly focused on the task. You’re surrounded incomfortable features and quality, sturdy componentsbuilt to last. The day is long, but you are ready - justlike your machine.

Comfort that brings out your bestOpen the cab door and experience thespacious Volvo cab. The vast, flat floorprovides plenty of legroom, even for talloperators. There’s also ample space fortools and personal items. The transportlevers are equipped with pedals forsimultaneous control of the earthmovingequipment and of forward movement. Thehydraulic attachment control pedalis positioned to the right for easy access,folding away when not in use.

It’s all right hereInside, everything you need is perfectlyplaced - right in front of you - in sight andat easy reach. The instrument panel withgrouped control gauges keepsyou informed of all key machine functions.The power-assisted controls offer thequick and smooth, precise operation youdemand - particularly when performingdelicate, detail work. With ergonomicallydesigned armrests, the forearms restcomfortably to keep you fresher and moreproductive. The short responsive joysticksavoid excessive operating movements,reduce fatigue and offer precise control.

Built for big performanceThe design is compact, but theperformance is bigger than you mightexpect. Just like larger Volvo Excavators,the Volvo EC25 and EC30 CompactExcavators are built to last, with durableframes and components. The direct swingcrown wheel is driven directly bya hydraulic motor. This provides no wear,no play in the crown wheel drive and nomaintenance costs. The long-lengthdurable tracks offer exceptional stability,greater safety and reduced groundpressure.

Built for today’s jobsitesDurability means long life and greateruptime. The sturdy top chassis featuresa double-yoke pivot that doubles thebearing surface on the chassis, enablingthe fitting of a longer pin. with less wearand reduced pin to bearing play. The X-shaped undercarriage offersa better load distribution on the sidemembers for more rigidity and sturdiness.The top part of the side members slope toprevent debris collection and to facilitateeasy cleaning. For safe operation ontoday’s narrow jobsites, the wrap-aroundshape of the counterweight providesexcellent protection against rear impacts.

• All-day comfort ergonomic armrests.

• Spacious and comfortable cab.

• Large floor area and plenty of legroom.

• Instrument panel keeps youinformed.

• No wear, no play swing =no maintenance.

• The long-length durable tracksoffers exceptional stability.

At Volvo, your safety is our priority. That’s why VolvoEC25 and EC30 Compact Excavators are built withsafety features that keep you working with completepeace of mind. To keep you productive - longer -Volvo Compact Excavators are built for ease ofservice and maximum uptime.

You’re in the safe zoneIt’s time to get to work, and Volvo makessure it’s safe from the first step. Climb intothe operator’s cab, gripping the safetyhandles and entering through the wideopening door. The cab floor and steps arenon-slip. When the left console is raised,all machine and travel controls are lockedin the neutral position to avoid risk ofaccident. Seated in the quiet cab,experience excellent 360° visibility thanksto large window surface areas that providea superior command of the entire jobsite.The rounded contour and very compactshape of the engine cover also providesgood visibility to the rear, particularlyon congested jobsites.

Protecting what’s important Today’s jobsites can be dangerous andunpredictable. That’s why Volvo helpsto ensure operator safety with durablestructures. The EC25 and EC30 featurecabs and canopies of a very high level ofsafety, guaranteed by the FOPS 1, ROPSand TOPS certifications and to keep yousafely planted in your seat, a seatbeltis standard equipment.

All access availabilityThe best way to achieve greaterproductivity and greater profitabilityis through dependable machines that areup and running. Volvo helps you avoidunplanned downtime with machines builtfor simple, easy maintenance. The key isaccessibility, and the EC25 and EC30provide perfect accessibility to thehydraulics and engine compartments.The control valves and all of the hydrauliccomponents are located in an easy accesshydraulics compartment located on theside of the machine. For the ultimatein engine access, you’ll appreciate a Volvoexclusive: the opening counterweight. ThisVolvo innovation not only offers excellentaccessibility of the engine compartment, italso provides total protection to the rear ofthe machine, due to the wrap-aroundshape of the counterweight.

Intelligent, by designFor less wear and less maintenance time,all of the hoses that supply the boom areloose fitted on the outside of the machine,without going into the pivot. This helpsprevent rubbing and wear, while making iteasy to replace the hoses if necessary. It’sjust another of the many ways Volvo offersMore care. Built in.

• Locking controls help prevent accidents.

• Complete hydraulic compartment access.

• X-shaped undercarriage.

• Loose fitting hoses resistdowntime.

• Long-life sturdy top chassis.

• Swinging counterweight for easyaccess.
