The ECR18E from Volvo Construction Equipment features an ultra-short swing radius, making it super agile and safer when working in confined urban applications.

Receiving its worldwide premiere at the Intermat exhibition in Paris in April, Volvo CE is pulling the covers off its latest compact excavator. The ECR18E is a 1.8 tonne class machine that can squeeze into the tightest of spaces, and thanks to its ultra-short tail design – the shortest radius in the Volvo range – it can work close to obstacles without colliding with them.

The new model complements the Volvo offer, which so far comprises seven short swing radius models, ranging from 1.8 to 9.5 tonnes. The machine will be available worldwide from the end of 2018 and despite its short-tail design, remains highly stable all round. Featuring a variable undercarriage, the ECR18E can retract to less than 1 meter wide to enter confined areas – or expand to some more surefooted 1.35 meters.
