Features & Benefits

Revolutionizing hauling since 2007, here is how the fully hydraulic suspension for Volvo Articulated Haulers works.

Proven full suspension technology

The Volvo A45G FS Articulated Hauler features unique full suspension technology which delivers superior productivity, travel speed and cycle times when compared to other haulers – resulting in a significantly lower total cost of ownership.

Unique suspension

The front suspension provides superior operator comfort meanwhile, the rear suspension delivers greater comfort, for a smooth and productive ride.

Comfortable front suspension

The unique front suspension is equipped with a set of accumulators and adapts to both payload and ground conditions, delivering unbeatable operator comfort.

Active leveling sensors

Six level sensors actively monitor the frame movement in relation to the axles and signal the hydraulic system to adjust the suspension, optimizing stability during travel.

Robust accumulators and intuitive cross flow

The A45G FS haulers rear suspension is equipped with two high pressure accumulators for loaded operations and two low pressure accumulators for unloaded operations. The cross flow between the hydraulic cylinders stabilize both trailer and tractor, this allows for higher average speeds over poor ground structures.

By switching to full suspension, you might be able to decrease your total cost of ownership by 13%.

Put to the test

When working in tough terrain, the A45G FS delivers superior productivity and travel speed compared to conventional haulers. With fewer machines, delivering faster cycle times, the fleet total cost of ownership can be reduced by up to 13%.

Average cycle times

Due to the ability of the Full Suspension machine to drive faster over challenging terrain, cycle times are significantly reduced.

Hauler productivity

Faster cycle times result in a 25% increase of hauler production per operating hour.

Total fleet size

By using Full Suspension haulers, you are able to reduce fleet size to move the same amount of material.

Cost per tonne

Side-by-side study of an A45G compared to an A45G FS showed the A45G FS delivered a lower cost per tonne.

The Volvo A45G FS is the operator’s number one choice. Its superior comfort, ease of operation and safety appeals to operators and help maintain productivity all day, every day.

Control in comfort

A happy operator is a more productive operator and when many other machines are onsite, most operators prefer the Volvo. Even in the most adverse conditions, its comfortable cab and ease of operation keep operators alert and performing their best.

Total control

The Volvo A45G FS is packed with features to help operators get the most from the machine. Intelligent functions such as cruise control, downhill speed control and hill assist help control the machine with ease and efficiency, for enhanced safety and productivity in all conditions.

Ease of operation

The ergonomic, comfortable and easy-to-understand controls are designed to suit all operators. Additional automatic functions such as OptiShift – which enables fast and smooth directional changes – further enhance ease of operation.

Operator comfort

Feel comfortable and spend more time in the Volvo A45G FS. The centrally positioned operator, superior steering, excellent suspension, low noise levels, climate control, space and visibility reduce operator fatigue for more effective operations.

Safety first

Whether its operators, trainers, technicians or site workers – safety on site is of fundamental importance. In the A45G FS superior visibility and efficient lighting combine with features such as the brake test and dump support, helping to keep everyone working around the articulated hauler safe.

The easy-to-service A45G FS helps maximize uptime and keep maintenance costs to a minimum.

Driving uptime forward

Reduce your maintenance costs thanks to the Volvo A45G FS Articulated Hauler, featuring 250-hour greasing interval – the best in the industry – for maximum uptime.

50% less oil and filters

Volvo High Performance Filters and Engine Oil and offer 1000 hour engine service intervals. The result is 50% less filters and oil – reducing maintenance requirements as well as your environmental impact.

Halve your oil volume

When measured over the lifetime of the machine, the A45G FS requires less than half the fluid volume compared to competition, benefitting both the environment and your operating costs.

Simple servicing

Industry leading service access and essential maintenance points accessible from the ground make it quick and easy to service your Volvo A45G FS. The front grill swings down, opening a service platform with anti-slip steps and the electric hood opens to 90 degrees, allowing full access to the engine compartment.
