Volvo wheeled excavators EW50 to EW240 – the Åkerman heritage from Konz: EW for wheeled, EWR for short tail, generations B to E, 34 to 126 kW
Volvo's wheeled excavators have two roots: the small EW50, EW55 and EW70 come from the Belley plant that Volvo took over with Pel-Job in 1995, the medium and large EW140 to EW240 from the 1991 takeover of the Swedish excavator maker Åkerman of Eslöv, whose designs Volvo developed further; the large wheeled excavators have been built since the 2000s at the Konz plant near Trier, which Volvo gained with the wheel-loader maker Zettelmeyer. The type logic: EW stands for Excavator Wheeled, the number gives the weight class in hundreds of kilograms – EW160 about 16 t, EW240 about 24 t – EWR the short-tail version (Reduced radius) for the city, the letters B, C, D and E generations from the 1990s to Stage V.

The register lists 17 versions with 33.7 to 126 kW from four- and six-cylinders of 2,217 to 5,703 cm³ – Volvo D4J, D5D, D6D, D6E, D6H and D6J – at rated speeds of 1,800 to 2,500 rpm, operating weights from 5,240 to 19,480 kg, lengths from 7,641 to 9,382 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,750 mm.
Volvo's hallmarks are the oscillating axle with automatic lock when digging, the offset boom as standard and, on the E generation, the travel drive with powershift transmission for 35 km/h; the EWR models serve inner-city sewer and road work where the tail must not project into traffic.
On used machines, operating hours, play in slew ring and boom bearings, the condition of tyres, outrigger pads and oscillating axle, leak-free cylinders and swivel joint and the aftertreatment service history on D and E models are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
