About · Volvo EC380

Overview

The Volvo EC380 is a large crawler excavator in the 38-tonne operating class, producing 283 hp and fitted with a 1.9 m3 bucket capacity. It has been in continuous production since 2005, establishing a long service record across European and global markets. The machine sits in the upper tier of mid-to-large excavator categories, competing directly with comparable 37-to-40-tonne class equipment.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Excavators of this size and power output are typically deployed on heavy civil engineering projects, including road construction, large-scale earthmoving, pipeline installation, and quarry face work. The 1.9 m3 bucket capacity and 38226 kg operating weight make the machine well suited to bulk material handling and deep excavation tasks where smaller classes would be underpowered. Infrastructure contractors and mining support operations frequently rely on equipment in this weight range for high-cycle, high-volume production work.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Buyers evaluating a used EC380 should commission a full undercarriage inspection, as track components represent a significant cost centre on machines of this operating weight. Hydraulic system integrity, including pump output, cylinder seals, and hose condition, warrants close attention given the duty cycles typical for this class. Engine hours should be verified against service records, and buyers should confirm that scheduled maintenance, including oil analysis history, has been documented. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician familiar with Volvo heavy excavators is advisable before committing to any unit at the upper end of the price range.

Current market

Price position

In the European used market, the EC380 trades across a range from EUR 82500 to EUR 158400, with an average transaction price of EUR 124667. This spread reflects variation in age, hours, specification, and attachment configuration across available inventory. Principal competitors in this class include the Case CX370 and the Hitachi ZX400, both of which occupy comparable weight and power segments and provide alternative sourcing options when evaluating fleet acquisitions.
