FULLY-LOADED FOR MORE.

The ALL-NEW Kubota SVL75-3 is a track loader that combines loads of reliability, capability and comfort in a compact package. It features reliable simultaneous hydraulic performance to outwork tough challenges. Modern telematics, auto downshifting, and a rearview camera make operation a breeze. With a loader like this, you get it done from one job to the next.

Volvo Construction Equipment has introduced a new straight-boom demolition machine as well as a unique Lifting Mode for its high-reach machines. Lifting Mode eliminates the need for contractors to rent an expensive crane service to assemble the excavator on site.

Lifting Mode for Multi Demolition Boom is an industry first, Volvo CE says. High-reach demolition excavators can act as safe carriers for loading and unloading machine components, eliminating the expense of bringing another machine on site.

“Total cost of ownership is reduced by eliminating the need for a mobile crane or second excavator, and flexibility is increased thanks to the time savings,” says Tony den Hoed, key account director, demolition equipment, at Volvo CE.

Lifting Mode is available factory-fitted on Volvo’s three highreach excavators, the EC380E HR, EC480E HR, and EC750E HR. All are compatible with various extensions and booms for flexibility across applications.

The excavator idles down when Lifting Mode is activated from the cab as hydraulic pressure and engine speed are controlled by the machine software. Bystanders are alerted to lift activity by a rotating alert beacon that is part of the package. A certified lifting accessory fits the patented modular joint design from the multi-demolition boom and connects to the lower pin of the boom. The modular joint allows for easy swaps to highreach or digging booms.

With Lifting Mode, the excavator can be used to offload trailers on arrival and reload when packing out of the site. Components like counterweights, digging booms, high reach booms, and others are moved using the excavator itself, saving time and reducing carbon emissions.

The EC300E Straight Boom is the second straight-boom excavator in Volvo’s lineup, alongside the EC380E Straight Boom. Instead of the traditional boom-and-stick approach that is used on excavators targeted for digging, this machine has a 23-footlong straight boom and purpose-built arm.

An extra-long straight boom means the EC300E Straight Boom gains significant height and reach advantages compared to the standard machine it is based on.

Designed for rugged job sites, the EC300E Straight Boom features a heavy-duty plate steel reinforced frame with bolt-head protection. Heavy-duty undercover protection, a belly guard, and a full track guard are also available. A slew ring cover and heavy-duty side doors with screens and shutters offer added protection, and additional features improve safety for the bucket and boom cylinders.

The cab is protected by a frame-mounted falling objects guard while still providing strong visibility to the work site. The roof window and front one-piece glass are made from impact-resistant material.

Demolition needs are addressed by several standard features on the EC300E Straight Boom. X1 and X3 auxiliary piping, a quick fit and oil drain line, and water lines connected to a dust suppression system that can work in either auto or manual mode, are included. The heavy counterweight provides balance and is removable for transport.
