Features & Benefits

Boost the profitability of your operation with the EC380 Heavy Duty. The new generation crawler excavator delivers the perfect combination of more productivity and more fuel efficiency, meaning you can do more – for less.

Move more for less

8% more productivity

Get more work done thanks to an increase of up to 8% in productivity compared to the previous generation. Engine power has been increased by 12%, resulting in faster swing speeds for short cycle times. Make every load count and move more tons per hour with the large capacity bucket and heavy counterweight.

25% more fuel efficiency

A range of features combine in the new generation EC380 Heavy Duty to deliver up to a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency. The intelligent new generation electro-hydraulic system (positive) provides on-demand flow and reduces internal losses in the hydraulic circuit, while ECO mode further contributes to outstanding fuel efficiency. Fuel efficiency can then be increased up to 20% more with the Hybrid machine variant.

Hybrid

Featuring unique hydraulic hybrid Volvo technology, the EC380 Heavy Duty Hybrid excavator utilizes the boom down motion to charge the accumulator, with the stored energy used to drive the assist motor which powers the engine system. The result is up to 20% increase in fuel efficiency while delivering all the power and performance you would expect from a conventional EC380 Heavy Duty.

Dig Assist

Unlock the full potential of your machine’s productivity with Dig Assist, powered by the 10” Volvo Co-Pilot display. Gain access to a set of smart apps, including 2D, In-Field Design, 3D software packages and On-Board Weighing, designed to optimize the digging process.

The EC380 Heavy Duty is designed to help operators perform at their best. Boasting the most comfortable cab in the industry, along with a range of features for an enhanced operator experience, the excavator delivers all the comfort and safety you would expect from a Volvo machine.

Industry leading cab

Step inside the best cab on the market. With low noise, low vibration and best-in-class visibility, operators will experience the ultimate in comfort and productivity inside the industry-renowned Volvo Care Cab. A convenient cab layout, air-suspended seat and ergonomic controls add to the unrivalled operator environment, all contributing towards an enhanced operator performance.

Safety inside and out

The EC380 Heavy Duty is designed with safety in mind. The ROPS-certified cab features a rear-view camera and optional side-view camera for an improved all-around view. Extra LED lights on the front of the cab and optional rotating beacon help to enhance visibility for those inside and outside the machine.

See it all

Operators can work in complete confidence thanks to optional Volvo Smart View. The system uses front, rear and side cameras to provide a real-time, overhead view of the machine during operation on the colour monitor. The result is safer machine rotation while working, especially in confined spaces.

The best mode for the job

Unique Volvo technology incorporates work modes within the throttle control, for optimum performance. When the operator selects a work mode – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power) – the rpm is already set for maximum efficiency.

Configured for convenience

Bluetooth connectivity and USB port will help operators feel right at home in the EC380 Heavy Duty. For added convenience operators can choose a function to be easily controlled via a shortcut switch on the joystick.
