Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Volvo EC300 Excavator

The Volvo EC300 excavator price varies by dealer, region, machine configuration, bucket and optional equipment. Contact an authorised Volvo Construction Equipment dealer for current pricing.

The EC300F L with a 6.2 m HD boom, 3.05 m HD arm, 1,387 kg bucket, 6,200 kg counterweight and 600 mm triple grouser shoes has an operating weight of 30,730 kg and ground pressure of 59.3 kPa. With 800 mm shoes, the corresponding values are 32,050 kg and 46.4 kPa.

The EC300 is powered by the Volvo D8L, a 6-cylinder, 7.7 L, water-cooled, direct-injection turbocharged diesel engine with a charged-air cooler. Net power is 179 kW (243 HP) and gross power is 180 kW (245 HP) at 1,720 RPM. Maximum torque is 1,250 N-m at 1,300 RPM, and the engine meets T3 requirements.

With the 6.2 m boom and 3.05 m arm, the Volvo EC300 achieves a maximum digging depth of 7,350 mm, maximum ground-level reach of 10,520 mm and maximum cutting height of 9,990 mm.

The Volvo EC300 uses an electro-hydraulic system with an enhanced Main Control Valve. Electronic sensors interpret operator inputs and regulate engine speed and hydraulic flow according to demand. Two variable-displacement axial-piston pumps provide 276 L/min each, contributing to up to 10% improved fuel efficiency.

An 8-inch HD display is standard. The 12.8-inch Full HD Volvo Co-Pilot second display is optional, as are Dig Assist functions including 2D, 3D machine control, In-Field Design and On-Board Weighing. Volvo Smart View is also optional.
