The Volvo ECR145CL belongs to the Volvo Hydraulic Excavator series. The engine delivers 108.5 hp (68.6 kW), has 4 cylinders, with a displacement of 4,031.2 cm³. Torque is 480 Nm. Rated speed is 2,000 rpm. The unladen weight is 14,959.5 kg. Ground clearance is 432.8 mm. The tank holds 220.3 litres. Maximum torque is reached at 1,600 rpm. The pump delivers 234.7 l/min. The hydraulic tank holds 210.1 litres. Working pressure is 343.4 bar. The cooling system holds 21.6 litres. The oil fill is 15.5 litres. The electrical system runs on 24 V. The engine fitted is the D4E EAE3. The Volvo Hydraulic Excavator series covers 53 models. Rated output within it ranges from 99.4 to 534.3 hp; the ECR145CL sits at the bottom of that range with 108.5 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the EC140LCM below it with 108 hp and the EC140E above it with 122.4 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 13,370 to 181,000 kg; here the ECR145CL sits at the bottom of that range with 14,959.5 kg. 8903 Volvo models across 145 series are on record.

Volvo EC Excavators: What the Letters C, D and E in the Model Names Actually Mean, Plus Rubber Track Pads as an Option for the Crawler Tracks

At Volvo, EC denotes a crawler excavator ("Excavator, Crawler"). The "Volvo Hydraulic Excavator" bucket holds 53 models from the EC140E to the EC340, spanning 68 to 392 kW — the number after EC marks the size class, with lower numbers for lighter machines and higher ones for heavier machines.

The trailing letter marks the generation: the C-Series (including EC160C, EC210C, EC240C) was built into the early 2010s, the D-Series (including EC220D) followed as an efficiency-focused generation, and the current E-Series (including EC160E, EC220E) builds on the D-Series technology with further gains in fuel consumption and operator comfort.

The range's spread shows in displacement (3,900 to 16,100 cm³, 4 to 6 cylinders) and torque (390 to 2,570 Nm) — from compact to heavy crawler excavators.

Crawler excavators of this size can optionally be fitted with bolt-on rubber pads over the steel tracks, which protect road surfaces and paving when moving between sites; in continuous work on rock or rubble, though, these pads wear noticeably faster than bare steel tracks.

When buying used, generation matters as much as hours on the clock: parts, software and emissions stage differ between the C-, D- and E-Series even when the base designation (e.g. EC220) stays the same.

In short: number = size, trailing letter = generation — together they form the complete model designation.

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.
