Features & Benefits

From the outstanding body and drivetrain engineering through to optional On-Board Weighing system and complementary site services, the R60 rigid hauler is designed to take productivity to the next level.

Move more, earn more

Move more with every cycle in the high-capacity V-shaped body, which ensures optimal load retention and minimal material carry-back – further enhanced with the exhaust-heated option. For long lasting performance, the body is manufactured from high impact and high abrasion resistant steel. Enhance productivity with our 10-10-20 payload profile policy (please ask your local dealer for more detailed information).

Fast cycle times

Effortlessly take on steep gradients thanks to the drivetrain with high torque capabilities and high drive axle multiplication, delivering impressive tractive force and high levels of rimpull. A fast body tipping system further contributes to short cycle times.

Optimum match

The R60 rigid hauler is the perfect match for a 90-tonne excavator, helping to optimize fleet use. With the additional support of Volvo Site Simulation, your Volvo dealer can work with you to advise on the optimum fleet configuration and site set-up for your operation.

The perfect payload

Make sure you haul the optimum amount of material with the optional On-Board Weighing system, providing real-time payload insight via the on-board display. The system helps to eliminate both underloading for peak productivity, and overloading for reduced fuel consumption and machine wear.

The R60 rigid hauler has been designed to keep operators safe and working at their best, delivering outstanding levels of visibility, controllability and comfort.

Comfort and safety

Operators benefit from unrivalled visibility in the R60 cab. The left-positioned operator station provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding area and aids safe passing, while forward visibility is enhanced by the large windscreen. Take visibility to new heights with the optional Volvo Smart View, giving operators a 360° bird’s-eye-view of the work zone.

Always in control

The R60 features two standard retardation systems for enhanced downhill machine control. The transmission retarder limits wheel lock-up while the modulating rear brake retarder, with automatic apply function, helps to maintain a controlled engine speed. Other protective features include transmission overspeed protection, neutral coast inhibitor, fail-safe braking and secondary steering systems.

Total access

Gain straightforward entry to the ROPS/FOPS certified cab from both sides using anti-slip steps and secure walkways.

Smooth operation

Enjoy superior ride quality in the robust R60, equipped with responsive MacPherson strut with lower wishbone connection and viscous-mounted cab, minimizing the transfer of impact and vibrations from the ground to the operator. The responsive low-effort steering system and geometry, combined with the suspension, optimizes maneuverability by minimizing lean on tight corners.

Comfortably productive

A host of comfort enhancing features including climate control, ergonomically positioned displays, responsive fingertip controls and adjustable air-suspended seat and steering wheel combine to keep operators working at their best. With the Bluetooth enabled audio system operators can choose the soundtrack to their working day.

Move more using less fuel in the R60 rigid hauler, featuring Volvo Dynamic Shift Control, Eco mode and automatic engine idle shut down.

Big on efficiency

Keep fuel costs to a minimum in the Volvo R60 Rigid Hauler, designed for high fuel efficiency. With Volvo Dynamic Shift Control the gear selection automatically adapts to varying conditions, and with Eco mode the hauler will default to the most efficient gear shifting schedule. Auto engine idle shut down eliminates unnecessary fuel consumption and engine wear.

Balance and stability

Conquer challenging conditions with the optimally balanced R60. Offering a low center of gravity and even weight distribution the machine provides rock-solid stability, spreading the load impacts and structural stresses equally across the truck. The outcome is superb machine and tire longevity leading to significantly reduced operating costs.

Go the distance

Keep working without interruption in the heavy-duty R60, with 500hr service intervals helping to optimize uptime and reduce maintenance costs.

Long life components

The reliable R60 has been rigorously tested under extreme working conditions to meet the highest industry standards of component lifecycles. This includes a proven frame design and two retardation systems as standard which safeguard the primary brake life.

Robust, reliable and with an uncomplicated design, you can count on the R60 rigid hauler to keep your operation moving.

Access more uptime

All service points are conveniently grouped and within easy reach from the ground level or wide platform, helping to keep uptime to a maximum. To simplify mechanical servicing, the hauler features common-sized bearings. Inside the cab, access top-level diagnostic data using the operator-friendly dashboard for fast analysis and solutions.

Strength and durability

Durable by design, the R60 is built to last. The high strength, flexible chassis structure and responsive MacPherson strut with lower wishbone connection absorb potentially damaging shocks and vibrations that can occur during operation. Regardless of environmental conditions, you can depend on the hydraulic filtration system to protect against contamination, for optimum machine availability.
