Rise and shine, maggots!

I'm here to pump you up!

You...

Give me 20 push-ups now!

Let's go!

I'm proud of you, maggots.

Volvo Excavators – "Pump It Up" – Behind the scenes - Duration: 3:39.

Rise and shine, maggots. I'm here to pump you up!

At Volvo we're renowned for making good, long-living,

high-productive, powerful engines.

But on an excavator, all you need an engine to do

is drive hydraulic pumps and hydraulic motors.

So the secret sauce in what we do at Volvo

is marrying these two together.

You're sitting inside a 750. You feel like a king already.

And then when you actually pull this 10-ton block behind you,

you just go straight forward and you hardly feel that you're pulling it,

so that's a perfect feeling.

In this stunt you need to be very precise,

you need to get the edge of the bucket straight under the tire,

and that's not a problem because of the hydraulic system of this Volvo machine.

You are very precise.

Honestly, this was the easiest stunt of the day.

I was told by the operator it was an easy one,

but I would challenge him to do it

with any other system than the Volvo hydraulic system.

With this machine, this 20-ton size class, very popular in Volvo,

you can almost crack the shell of an egg without breaking the yolk.

Let's go!

From the beginning I was really nervous and also very scared,

but the more time I was up there, the pressure just fell off me.

Taking safety seriously, we had a mobile crane that had chains with slack,

so it didn't lift the machine, but, for safety, if something happened,

the crane would catch the machine.

We changed the combustion engine to an electrical machine.

We also changed the arm cylinder to a boom cylinder.

And we increased the hydraulic pressure.

I only needed to use the dipper arm and the bucket tilt,

so I was using the dipper arm to go up

and then I used the bucket tilt to change the angle

so I didn't fall off the beam.

So all the machines we have here

are equipped with the ECO mode Volvo patent.

ECO mode optimises the hydraulic system

to reduce the flow and pressure losses

and it gives better fuel efficiency.

One of the features you've seen today across the range of excavators

is the Volvo Care Cab.

This is the operator's office.

He can be spending up to ten hours a day in there.

We provide all the creature comforts,

ensuring he gets maximum productivity from himself and from the machine.

They're all equipped to handle any job site around the world

and any application.

I'm proud of you, maggots.
