VOLVO TUNNEL EXCAVATORS

The current product range comprises 6 crawler tunnel excavators with an operating weight of 7 thru 80 tons as well as one wheeled tunnel excavator with an operating weight of 20 tons.

All tunnel excavator models are based on trusted and reliable Volvo basic machines and are equipped with diesel drive as standard; optionally, they are also available with an emission-free electric drive.

The compact excavators have a short tail-swing and operate with high efficiency; therefore, they are ideally suited for small to large tunnel cross-sections. Due to the modular built of the boom equipment, they can be adapted to different tunnel heights, giving them maximum flexibility.  

The high hydraulic output of the Volvo machines allows operation of efficient attachment tools, like hydraulic hammers, rock cutters, demolition shears, to name only a few, These can be changed quickly with quick-change devices. 

The excellent global Volvo dealer network ensures on-site service and spare parts supply of the machines 24/7 all year round.

LIST OF RECOMMENDATION FOR ATTACHEMENTTOOLS

You can find an overview of attachment tools and how they are allocated in size to our excavators; this is, however, only a recommendation. Upon request, attachments from other manufacturers that are compatible with the respective recommended weight and power ranges can be used as well.
