This machine rewrites the rules while offering the best of both worlds – a short swing design for confined areas while delivering the productivity, ease of operation and safety of a ‘conventional’ excavator.

The third and largest model in the excavator range, it features best-in-class lifting capacity, stability, digging force and fine control, as well as boasting better weight distribution and increased swing torque. Its new hydraulic system features full electro hydraulic control.

As with the ECR145C and ECR235C, the compact body swings only fractionally outside its track width. With its latest generation, Tier III, fuel-efficient engine with Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology developing 195 hp (143 kW) the ECR305C has power to spare.
