The Volvo EC350DL excavator is a highly productive and effecient machine with lower fuel consumption and faster cycle times

Is it possible for a crawler excavator in the 35 t class to be highly productive and easy to move around new project sites? The answer is yes. The EC350DL from Volvo Construction Equipment delivers both, with the added advantage of low fuel consumption.

If you are a contractor looking for a highly productive and efficient machine that is easy to transport to mid-sized and large projects, the Volvo EC350DL excavator offers the performance and flexibility you need. 

The EC350DL can successfully take on a range of different tasks, from digging irrigation channels and loading highway tipper trucks in road construction to working with a hydraulic breaker or heavy-duty bucket in quarrying and mining.

In these applications, the EC350DL delivers high productivity compared to some competitor machines thanks to state-of-the-art technology. Volvo’s unique ECO mode, fuel-efficient D8 engine and optimised hydraulic system ensure high digging power and fast cycle times. 

Despite the decal indicating the numbers ‘350’, the true machine weight is 35-39 t. However,the EC350DL still offers the ease of transport and operating cost advantages that smaller machines typically provide. Its compact transport dimensions of 3.19 m maximum width and 11.27 m maximum length mean that it can easily fit on most low-bed trailers, which larger machines might not.

Do more work, emit less

Global warming is an issue that we all need to tackle, and you can reduce your impact and save money on fuel by choosing a Volvo EC350L over a competing model. Tests show the Volvo EC350DL excavator emits up to 45% less CO2 per ton of material moved than some competitor machines thanks to around 20% lower fuel consumption and significantly faster cycle times. By doing more work with less fuel, the Volvo EC350DL is a smart choice for both you and the environment.
