Buying brief: Volvo EW140 CN4
This Volvo EW140 CN4 is a wheeled digging excavator in the 13 to 20 t class, with an operating weight of 14,852 to 15,515 kg, a bucket capacity of 0.25 to 0.85 m3 and a rated power of 110 kW. It meets China IV emission requirements. Maximum dig depth is 4,757 mm. The machine suits utility work, road construction and general site excavation where travel between locations is frequent. The range of bucket sizes allows the buyer to match the attachment to the task, from trenching to bulk excavation, while the emission rating matters for use in regulated areas.
The wheeled undercarriage gives this class road travel and faster repositioning than a tracked machine of similar weight. On site, stability depends on tyre condition, axle locks and correct use of stabilisers. Buyers should weigh tyre type and wear, steering response, the travel lock and the attachments they plan to use. At around 15 t, the machine can handle lifting tasks, but capacity falls as reach increases, so the load chart should be checked. Ground conditions and slope also affect safe operation and should be assessed before work begins.
Inspection should start with the engine, checking for leaks, smoke and steady power. The hydraulic system needs a look at pump noise, hose condition and cylinder seals. Pins and bushes in the boom, arm and bucket linkage show wear through play and ovality. Wheel hubs, brakes and the steering axle are safety-critical on a wheeled machine. Check the main frame and articulation area for cracks or repairs.
The emission system on a China IV unit should also be checked for fault codes and correct operation during a trial. Shipping this size normally uses a container if dimensions allow after folding the boom, otherwise a flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk vessel. The choice depends on the unit's real dimensions, particularly height and width, and on the destination port's facilities and sailing schedules. Wheeled excavators are often driven onto RoRo vessels, while flat racks suit ports with limited container handling. Buyers should confirm lifting points and securing arrangements with the supplier before booking, as the loading method affects cost and risk.
