The electronic integration between the engine and transmission achieve premium drivetrain performance, resulting in smooth gearshift quality and consistent machine momentum. To reduce power losses on the powertrain, the load sensing hydraulics supply hydraulic flow when required.

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

Get the most out of your long-term investment with a low-cost solution. At Volvo, we’re committed to driving your operating costs down. That’s why we’ve designed our rigid dumpers to reduce fuel consumption and optimize machine availability. Drive your operating costs down with the D-Series rigid dumpers, your partner for all mining and quarrying applications.

DESIGNED FOR DISTANCE

Achieve unbeatable long-term value with uptime-enhancing components, such as the transmission retarder. The standard feature reduces the machine’s speed, eliminating any unnecessary use of the service brakes. As a result, the life of the primary braking system is extended, enhancing overall machine availability.

THE RIGHT WEIGHT

Go the extra mile with the rigid dumpers, featuring a centrally mounted transmission for optimum machine weight distribution. And with a low center of gravity, the well-balanced machines equally disperse all load impacts and structural stresses across the tires. The outcome is superb machine longevity and significantly reduced operating costs. Leave it to Volvo to find the right balance.

KEY TO A LOW COST OPERATION

Drive your operating costs down with component longevity. To ensure your machine maintains lasting performance, all components undergo rigorous testing under extreme working conditions. Do more in the long haul with proven components from Volvo, durably designed to withstand the test of time.

SELECTABLE SHIFT PATTERNS

Keep performance high and costs low with the integrated shift patterns. Choose the best mode for the task at hand by selecting from Power or Economy. Adapting to varying loads and jobsite conditions, the selectable shift pattern system delivers smooth, consistent gearshifts and low fuel consumption.

Propel your profits with the D-Series rigid dumpers, engineered to move material faster and more efficiently. Combining a competitive power-to-weight ratio, effective gearing, and optimum weight distribution, the heavy-duty dumpers cut cycle times.

MOVE MORE – FASTER

Count on Volvo to get the job done. The all-new D-Series rigid dumpers are born to perform. The optimally balanced machines haul more tonnes per hour thanks to the winning combination of power, class-leading tractive force, comfort and productivity-enhancing systems. Meet production targets faster and boost the profitability of your business with Volvo.

PROFITABLE PAYLOAD

Haul it all with the D-Series rigid dumpers from Volvo. The heavy-duty dumpers ensure optimum load retention and are fitted with an exhaust-headed body to minimize material carry-back. Thanks to its durable body, manufactured from high impact, abrasion-resistant steel, the D-Series rigid dumpers achieves maximum production per operating hour, so you can do more – and earn more.

NO FEAT TOO STEEP

No terrain is too deep or steep for the D-Series rigid dumpers, offering impressive tractive effort generated by the complete drivetrain design and configuration. By enhancing torque to the low-geared rear axle, the high capacity torque converter supplies high levels of rimpull so you can scale slopes effortlessly.

NO COMPROMISES ON COMFORT

At Volvo, we believe that a comfortable operator equals a happy operator. That’s why we’ve designed the Volvo cab with convenient and responsive features. The steering accumulator provides uniform steering regardless of engine speed. Customize your comfort with the HVAC feature and operate confidently using light controls that fall easy to hand.

SMART SYSTEMS

Take your productivity to the next level with a variety of smart systems, expertly designed to optimize job site efficiency, while minimizing your operational costs. To increase the productivity of your existing and future projects, utilize Volvo Site Simulation, which provides valuable information about your machinery, fleet choices and site configuration.

Stay safe in the FOPS-certified Volvo cab, fitted with the ROPS body canopy. But safety doesn’t stop there. Inside the cab, benefit from a host of visibility-enhancing details, including the operator seat – located on the left of the two-person cab – and Volvo Smart View. The standard feature combines three exterior-mounted camera views to create a bird’s eye view of the machine, displayed via the on-board monitor.

SAFE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Even though they’re built to work hard, all Volvo machines are packed full of features designed to make the job safer and easier – and the D-Series rigid dumpers are no exception. Safe from the inside out, the rigid dumpers come factory-fit with a ROPS-certified body canopy, superb visibility and unrestricted access to all essential service points. With safety built into every design aspect of the all-new rigid dumpers you can rest assured we’ve got you – and your crew – covered.

SAFETY AS STANDARD

Protect you and your crew thanks to a full spectrum of safety systems. Body hoist inhibitor, for example, ensures the transmission prevents upshifts, while engine overspeed protection automatically slows the machine down to within safe operating limits. Other features include the optional neutral coast inhibitor, which protects the dumper in downhill operations, as well as fail-safe braking and secondary steering systems.

SAFE AND RESPONSIVE BRAKING SYSTEM

Experience fast and safe hauling with the transmission or brake retarder. The standard feature gives you more control of your rigid dumper when traveling up or down steep gradients. When operating downhill or slowing down before crossroads, the system can be activated instantly, for excellent productivity and high levels of safety. Rain or shine, know no limits with the D-Series rigid dumpers.

TOTAL ACCESS

Whether operating or servicing your rigid dumper, gain safe, simple and straightforward entry to the machine using anti-slip steps and secure walkways. From the wide platform or ground level, safely complete essential planned maintenance. For added protection and peace of mind – particularly during servicing – use integral safety locks to isolate the machine system.

THE SOUND OF SAFETY

Stay informed of job site activity at all times thanks to a variety of visible and audible safety warnings, communicated via the operator dashboard. Essential machine warning alerts include engine faults, low pressure, temperature, and working outside of safe parameters.

Meet the demands of tough job sites with durable D-Series rigid dumpers, proven to provide long-lasting performance. The frame assembly incorporates a reserve of structural strength well beyond the industry’s requirements. Strong and robust, dumpers are engineered with uptime in mind, offering swift and easy maintenance access thanks to a simple and uncomplicated machine design.

DURABLE BY DESIGN

Count on the D-Series rigid dumpers to maintain peak performance thanks to a collection of durable components. No matter how harsh the terrain, the high-strength chassis is proven to absorb typical shocks and vibrations from road conditions and loading processes. Meanwhile, the hydraulics are protected to ensure they remain clean against environmental contamination.

ROBUST PROTECTION

Working in challenging conditions means that every component must be protected. With the engine protection derate system, you can say goodbye to unplanned machine downtime. In the event that the engine enters an unsafe operating parameter, the engine control system will send a signal, alerting the operator via a warning lamp on the display. If warnings are ignored, the engine will automatically enter a safe mode, derating on power to prevent further use. Other component protection features include height temperatures, throttle pedal outputs and low coolant level.
