We offer hydraulic services for Volvo construction equipment. We are also a distributor of genuine OEM replacement parts for Bosch Rexroth pumps and motors used on Volvo machinery, including its 14-ton excavators. We also offer final drive repair and swing motor repair for excavators.
One popular application for these Volvo excavators is to dig trenches. In the past, trench protection during excavation has been a leading cause of worksite citations.
Issues with Excavation Safety
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for ensuring safe, healthy working conditions for employees. To do this, OSHA sets standards for training, outreach, education, and assistance. OSHA is also responsible for inspecting worksites. When OSHA finds a violation, it issues a citation.
In 2019, excavation violations were the sixth most common violation, according to OSHA. The leading cause of these violations was a failure to provide adequate trench protection.
Volvo’s Solution for Improving Excavation Site Safety
Volvo has released an innovative new pipelaying boom kit that lets you convert a 14-ton Volvo excavator into a rotating pipelayer. According to Volvo, be attached in about an hour. The boom can handle 7,300 pounds and pipes up to 20” in diameter.
Volvo developed the boom because of feedback it received from customers. The feedback made it clear operators had concerns about lowering pipe into trenches using a standard excavator. The boom is designed to work with Volvo’s patented rotating superstructure. This allows for additional maneuverability and it is not necessary to frequently reposition the tracks.
Additional Features for the Volvo EC140EL and ECR145E Crawler Excavators
The boom kit for the Volvo EC140EL and ECR145E crawler excavators is designed to reach a height of up to 24 feet and a depth of 50 feet. With its 5-foot tail-swing radius, the ECR145E can be used to lay pipe in urban areas. This means you can lay pipe on a two-lane city street with one lane closed to traffic.
Benefits of the Volvo Pipe Laying Boom Kit
Volvo’s Load Moment Indicator and pipe laying boom offer a host of advantages over side booms. One of the most notable involves a lower profile, which makes for better visibility of the end load and enhances safety. Overall, the kit makes Volvo’s 14-ton excavators safer with a lower operating cost.
