Operator environment and comfort for a more effective work environment

Volvo haulers offer a world-class operators environment. The foundation is the ergonomically designed cab with low sound levels, as well as the proven and simple yet comfortable front suspension. Rough operating conditions do not affect the operators concentration and have no effect on the operators performance during long shifts. Steering and braking have good reactions to the operator, similar to the steering feel of a truck. Passive safety The new, well-designed cab is an award winner. It is built using highstrength steel and meets ROPS/FOPS standards. Operator awareness is enhanced with features such as indication of raised dump body, unbuckled seat belt and open door. The instructors seat is located so that the instructor has access to important controls (within easy reach). The operators position is high for optimal visibility, yet protected by the front plate of the dump body. Active safety Volvos self-compensating, hydro-mechanical steering system gives an accurate feel for the road similar to the steering feel of a truck.

The steering is stable at high speeds and powerful when operating in offroad conditions. The heavy-duty design of the system ensures consistent steering performance for the entire life of the machine. These features make the Volvo steering system superior to all other systems on the market. The rounded and sloped hood improves visibility for the operator. Great cab to work in Its easy to access the cab. Correctly sized and positioned cab steps and a wide door opening without a threshold. The cab is sound-insulated, spacious and pleasant with a well-designed, modern and practical interior. The cab features a centrally located operators seat and large glass areas. In combination with well-placed cab pillars and large rear-view mirrors, it offers exceptional visibility all around the machine. Excellent visibility means less operator fatigue, higher productivity and a safe work area. Well-placed and user-friendly controls, ergonomic operators seat, tilt-telescopic steering wheel and an effective climate control system all contribute to maintaining high operator efficiency and long-term high productivity.

Clear information The user-friendly operators communication system provides simple and easy-to-understand information. The system registers and saves operating information during the work cycle. All information is displayed in order of importance. The reliable communication system helps to make maximum production possible, even in severe operating conditions. Practical interior The cabs interior is characterized by excellent practical and ergonomic solutions, and its easy to keep clean. When lowered, the instructors seat becomes a table, next to a convenient 24 volt outlet. There is plenty of storage space for a lunchbox or cooler. To keep the floor clear, the hauler is equipped with several storage compartments, inside and outside the cab. Optional equipment If you want to enhance the operators environment further, there is a wide range of optional equipment, from sun visors and air conditioning to a rear vision system.

Drivetrain well-matched for maximum performance

Volvos articulated haulers are equipped with a well-matched drivetrain for optimal use of engine power, torque and rimpull. Correctly matched and Volvo-designed drivetrain components, specifically developed for hauler applications, provide outstanding performance, high productivity, low fuel consumption and ensure long machine life. With Volvos haulers, you can set the benchmark for the highest average speeds on a wide range of work sites and applications. Our proven hauler transmission is unique. Its developed and purpose-built to give maximum performance. Electronic engine control Volvo haulers are equipped with turbo-charged high-performance lowemission diesel engines, featuring electronically controlled injection and intercooler. Cooling is thermostat controlled, with a variable speed fan that only runs when theres a cooling demand, which means optimal use of power and lower fuel consumption. The engine is electronically controlled by the machines advanced electronic system. Downtime for service is minimized and uptime is maximized for high productivity. Optimal shifting quality Volvos automatic planetary transmission, Powertronic, gives high shifting quality. The transmission has been designed so that shifting takes place at the right time to optimize rimpull and fuel economy and to extend drivetrain life. The dropbox is also optimized for the hauler concept, giving high ground clearance under the hitch. Transmission cooling is controlled by need. Power when and where its needed Volvos haulers offer superior flexibility. On good haul roads, you can select 6x4 drive, which reduces tire wear and fuel consumption since fewer drive components are engaged. Only Volvo gives operators the option of selecting 6x4 drive. When operating in rough conditions, you can select 6x6 drive and 100% differential locks on one or all

axles. Volvos drive combinations and 100% differential locks have been fieldproven for years and are extremely reliable. The operator can engage and disengage different drive combinations on the move. This is a distinct and important advantage, especially when ground conditions change, as they often do, between the haul road and the dumping site. We also equip our haulers with various tire options for different applications.

Brakes and retarder increase productivity and reduce costs

Volvo haulers have service brakes on all wheels, and are not dependent on drivetrain components during braking. A40D is equipped with fully sealed, oil-cooled wet disc brakes, while the other hauler models are equipped with dry disc brakes. Fully sealed wet brakes are available as optional equipment for the A35D. The brake system has two separate circuits. If the pressure in both circuits should fail at the same time, the automatic emergency brake function is activated through application of the parking brake. User-friendly retardation system All Volvo haulers have a hydraulic retarder integrated in the transmission. The retarders quick response and good sustained braking action makes it easier for the operator to run the hauler with optimum average speed throughout the cycle, at the same time reducing wear on the service brakes. The foot-operated system is a user-friendly and effective alternative, allowing the operator to keep both hands on the steering wheel. In the A35D and A40D, the retarder works together with a Volvopatented engine brake: VEB (Volvo Engine Brake). The A25D and A30D are equipped with an exhaust retarder. Unique Load & Dump brake The new generation of Volvos articulated haulers feature the new and
time

Volvo-patented load and dump brake. With a simple press of a button, the transmission is shifted to neutral and all load unit service brakes are activated. The brakes are released automatically when the gearshift control lever is moved past the neutral position once again.

Frames and suspension Ensure superior stability and maneuverability

The steering, drivetrain, frame components and the machines centers of gravity are designed to work together. The combination allows our haulers to operate with high stability and control at high average speeds, even on long and difficult haul routes. The high ground clearance, the robust steel construction of the underbody and skid plates, as well as excellent bogie movement mean that our haulers can handle the roughest and hardest-to-reach loading and dumping sites. The frame design of the previous hauler generation has been improved with bearings of new design that minimize or eliminate lubrication needs. Heavy-duty suspension All axles have a maintenance-free three-point suspension. Three-point suspension makes it possible for each axle to move independently in rough operating conditions, which gives less stress on the frame, optimal ground contact and rimpull while the body remains level. The well-functioning, reliable and proven design with rubber springs and shock absorbers provide very good operator comfort. Volvos proven bogie system, wellknown for its reliability and long suspension stroke, is at work under the load unit. The bogie system is centered around a heavy-duty bogie member rubber bushing. Rugged frame The underside of the machine has no fragile plastic parts or exposed joints. Its made of steel right through. All components are well-protected either above or in the frame construction.

The reliable three-point suspension consists of heavy duty components. A durable design that gives a comfortable smooth ride.

Body and dump system For faster dumping

The Volvo haulers exceptional capacities for steering, maneuvering and mobility make it easy to get the hauler into the right position for loading. Its easy to load the body. Its shape promotes even distribution of the load regardless of loading tool. The load body is a rugged flat plate design made of impact-resistant high-strength steel. The front has a spill guard that effectively protects the frame joint components from material spills. The load body chute has the right length and angle to prevent spills, for example, when hauling uphill. The dumping system has all the needed power, even for dumping up a steep slope.

High-efficiency dumping When dumping, the shape of the load body promotes release of the load and ensures that it ejects far beyond the rear wheels. The machines high ground clearance, high placement of the dump hinge and the shape of the load body make it possible to run the machine forward with the body up, without displacing the dumped material or contact with the dump edge when dumping over an edge. The need for dozers on the dumping site is minimized. The new dumping hydraulics with higher pressure and greater oil flow have reduced dumping times. The two powerful double-acting hoist cylinders quickly lift and lower a full load with optimal control. Optional equipment The load body can be adapted to different materials with optional equipment such as tailgates, body side extensions, body heating and extra front spill guard.

Service and maintenance For higher availability

The new haulers have stepped into the future, where the demand for minimized service and reduced service downtime is becoming more important. When you operate Volvo haulers, the daily service requirements are reduced by using monitored oil and fluid level checks as well as new advanced types of bearings. We have succeeded in reducing the service needs to a low level. Coordination advantages At pace with the ever-increasing environmental requirements, electronics are making their way into the machines and weve used that to the greatest extent. By coordinating electronic development for the machines, we have attained several advantages: Volvo has one system, whereas others are forced to handle and maintain several different systems. Volvos system can read off various machine data, which allows direct analyses of machine operation and quick diagnostics. Performance of Volvo haulers is optimized due to communication between components. Since other Volvo CE products and Volvo trucks also use these systems, component coordination and experience are great advantages. Easy access for service high serviceability Volvo haulers feature new and practical solutions, like the easily accessed filters and better accessibility around the engine. These are just a couple of all the improvements weve introduced to make the Volvo D-series the worlds most service-friendly hauler! Required service points have good access, and servicing is easy from conveniently located service platforms or from the ground level. Slip-resistant material around the cab and handrails along the cab roof facilitate work, such as washing windshields and side windows. Spare parts and service contracts Volvo is the frontrunner when it comes to worldwide service. One of
18

the great challenges we face is training mechanics and supporting them with an organization for quick distribution of spare parts. At Volvo, we put considerable effort and work into coordinating components between the different machine types, all to minimize the amount of parts. We also offer special tools as well as service and support contracts.
