IN COMMAND. IT’SYOUR TURN.The short radius Volvo ECR48C is here and it will turnmore than heads with its performance, leading fuelefficiency and profit capability. Demanding jobs, tightjobsites. We’re ready. Reliability, power, legendarycomfort and the standard in safety.It’s your turn to get it all.The confidence to safely workfasterThe ECR48C has a short radiussuperstructure that turns inside the widthof the tracks. Quickly and confidentlywork next to walls, structures and busyroadways. You also get improved stability,for more performance when using longattachments or lifting heavy loads.The side-position engine and theoptional rear counterweights offerexcellent balance and distribution.Smooth maneuverabilityHandle a wide range of jobs – and doeach with ease and speed. Slew andoffset can now be multi-functioned inone natural motion. Float blade allowsthe operator to backfill, level and contourfor finish grading. Just push forward onthe blade lever for the right amount ofconsistent blade down force. The VolvoECR48C has new tracks with a shorterpitch. This permits travel speeds up to 10percent faster and reduces vibration forbest-in-class comfort. The VolvoECR48C also features two-speed travel,automatically shifting from high to lowspeed according to travel load.The power and the capacity to domoreExcavators dig, lift, load, crane and trench.The Volvo ECR48C performs at thehighest level with the power, efficiencyand force you need. It starts with anadvanced new generation Volvo engine.It’s proven and it delivers power, long lifeand profit-enhancing leading fuelefficiency. It’s also a quiet worker,producing low emissions and meetingTier 2/Stage 3 environmental standards.When it comes to hydraulics, thepatented Volvo mono pump systemdelivers every time. It uses one systemfor all hydraulics, providing smooth,precise control along with optimal power.The right equipmentGet more done with a 5-ton bucketinterface that utilizes buckets compatiblewith the Volvo EC45 Pro, EC55B pro andthe ECR58 plus. The optional pin-onattachment bracket features a safe,improved design that increases versatilityby also utilizing buckets in face/shovelmode. Other options include a hydraulicangle blade and the Volvo thumb thatmakes picking up large/bulky objectseasy. An optional second double-actingattachment circuit, controlled with afingertip electro-proportional control,provides easy and efficient command ofhydraulic attachments, such as tiltrotators.• Powerful, fuel-efficient Volvo engine• Short turn radius adds confidence2• Get a handle on it with the Volvo thumb

• Spacious, comfortable Volvo cab• Large, easy-clean one-piece floor• Designed for all-around visibility5

GREATER ACCESS TO MORE UPTIME.Volvo wants to help you do more work. That means lessdowntime, more safety, easier service access andreliability through quality parts and components. It’s theVolvo way, and it’s built into everything we do. Add it allup and you get the trusted Volvo ECR48C – along withmore profit.• Short, contoured rear for visibilityYour access to serviceabilityGet to work fast each day with easy,ground level service access. Servicepoints are clustered together under theside position, easy-open engine hood.Check the engine oil level, fuel system,air filter and coolant level. Clean the oilcooler and radiator quickly and easily.A large fuel filler neck allows you to fill upfrom the fuel station pump or portablefuel cell.Safe at workWork in confidence and peace of mind inVolvo ECR48C cab and canopies –standard with FOPS 1 (falling object),ROPS (roll over) and TOPS (tip over)protection. Inside the cab work securelyseated with a retractable seat belt thatfits operators of all sizes. To prevent theload from slipping or dropping due tohose failure, optional safety valves can beinstalled on the boom and dippercylinders. To safely reduce noise,emissions and fuel consumption, anoptional automatic idling system isavailable. When engaged, the systemreturns the engine to idle if no controlsare operated for more than five seconds.Simply touch any control, and the enginereturns to high idle.Volvo quality through and throughQuality, durability and long life starts withthe cast steel x-shaped undercarriage –a design employed on many largerexcavators. It offers sturdy operation,better load distribution on the sidemembers and high performance.The cab door remains protected in theopen position by a secure lockingsystem. The door does not stick outsidethe width of the undercarriage.And to keep boom lights protected,optional metal shrouds add durability fordifficult conditions.Long-term residual valueResidual value is an important factorwhen considering a machine. The VolvoECR48C is loaded with quality andfeatures that improve long-term value.There’s new cab styling with roundedcontours, a short distance behind theoperator’s seat and a forward-leaningview of the work area. This offersexcellent visibility and a modern style thatenhances value. High-quality pivot points(pins, bushings and borings) provideminimal slip or play for the life of themachine. And to help protect againstvandalism, an engine-key lockable panelprotects the fuel port and toolbox.• Easy fuel fill from the pump or can• Sturdy, rigid X-shaped undercarriage6• Service points are clustered together

• Full range of genuine Volvo service parts• Complete, easy service access7

Volvo Construction Equipment is different. It’s designed, builtand supported in a different way. That difference comes from anengineering heritage of over 170 years. A heritage of thinkingfirst about the people who actually use the machines. Abouthow to help them be safer, more comfortable, more productive.About the environment we all share. The result of that thinkingis a growing range of machines and a global support networkdedicated to helping you do more. People around the world areproud to use Volvo. And we’re proud of what makes Volvodifferent – More care. Built in.All products are not available in all markets. Under our policy of continuous improvement, we reserve the right to change specificationsand design without prior notice.
