Features & Benefits

Hard work has never felt so easy from the spacious of the Volvo cab, featuring your choice of comfortable operator seat, as well as ergonomic controls. Perform basic configurations using the information panel, and keep an eye on the operation with the Contronic display.

Comfortably in control

Safety as standard

Safe from the inside out, the latest loaders feature anti-slip steps and strategically placed handrails for ease of access, plus an array of seatbelt options, such as the orange three-point seatbelt. The new attachment bracket uses a visual indicator to let you know the attachment is locked and ready to use.

See more, do more

Experience a clear view of the attachment and jobsite thanks to large expanses of glass, redesigned side mirrors, rear-view camera and optional front camera. The machines also feature orange handrails and steps to stand out against the jobsite, and LED lights, available in various packages.

Electro servo control as standard

The electro servo control comes as standard and enables a range of functions. With the automatic bucket leveling function the operator can automatically return the bucket to level from both dump and curl positions. Return-to-dig feature, end-stroke dampening and the option of max boom height are others. It allows you to set detent functions, bucket and boom positions, from inside the cab. You are also able to adjust the sensitivity of the levers according to your preference: Active, Normal or Soft.

Bucket leveling function

Take your productivity to the next level with the bucket leveling function, available when you select the optional electro hydraulic lever. The new function enhances operator performance by automatically returning the bucket from both dump and curl positions.

Built by Volvo, for Volvo, you can count on the proven design of the latest wheel loaders to meet the demands of tough job sites. Renowned for their reliability, the next-generation H-Series wheel loaders are built with an industry-leading, strong frame, which, combined with the ideally-matched genuine Volvo drivetrain, achieves long-lasting performance.

Keep your machine moving

Keep it cool

Count on Volvo to keep up. The improved cooling capacity regulates the component temperature, for greater machine utilization when using attachments that are demanding on the hydraulics, and longer hydraulic component life. This, plus the external axle cooling option – ideal for tough applications – doubles the axle oil change intervals for higher uptime and lower maintenance costs.

Greater access

To keep uptime high, the H-Series wheel loaders are equipped with an engine cover that opens electronically, allowing ground-level access to the service points, including the radiator. For swift and easy cleaning, the new cooler installation now slides out. Safely fill the transmission and engine oil thanks to newly repositioned fill spouts, and get back to work without delay.

Delayed engine shutdown

Reduce the wear on your engine with the new delayed engine shutdown feature. The optional function shuts off the machine when the turbo has cooled down to the ideal temperature. Not only does the feature reduce component wear, it can also be scheduled by the operator to activate automatically for added convenience.

Uptime Services

Keep your machine moving with Uptime Services, a package of solutions designed to reduce your downtime and repair costs. Volvo ACTIVE CARE for example remotely monitors your machine’s health, helping to predict potential failures before they occur. Take your pick from various Volvo Services and package them into a Volvo Services Agreement.

Take on any application with the H-Series wheel loaders, equipped with the Torque Parallel (TP) linkage for ultimate versatility. Not only does the TP linkage offer high breakout, tilt in and lifting forces, it keeps the attachments parallel throughout the lifting range for exceptional load stability and easy bucket filling. Change tools in a matter of seconds with the Volvo attachment bracket.

Multitude of talents

Take on any application with the H-Series wheel loaders, equipped with the Torque Parallel (TP) linkage for ultimate versatility. Not only does the TP linkage offer high breakout and lifting forces, it keeps the attachments parallel throughout the lifting range for exceptional load stability and easy bucket filling. Change tools in a matter of seconds with the Volvo attachment bracket.

Adapt to any application

Get the most out of your machine with a range of purpose-built attachments, including grapples, sweepers, material handling arms, snow ploughs and more. Because different jobs require different attachments, we can custom build a Volvo attachment to match your specific needs. To unlock the use of multiple attachments, simply engage the third and fourth hydraulic functions.

Designed to do more

Knock heavy-duty jobs down to size with the H-Series wheel loaders. These robust workhorses offer unshakable stability thanks to the new, optimized loading unit weight and redesigned counterweight. Designed to do more, the well-balanced machines now yield a higher tipping load, so you can tackle a variety of tasks – no matter how demanding.

Fully loaded

Whatever the job, we have the tools to get it done. Volvo offers a full range of Volvo buckets, including general purpose, grading, refuse, light material, and more, to handle everything, from light material to heavy rocks. Built on decades of engineering excellence, Volvo buckets are optimized for Volvo wheel loaders and durably designed for all types of materials and tasks.

Made to match

Lift your machine’s versatility to the next level with pallet forks, offering high visibility and the advantage of TP linkage and parallel movement. Ideal for pallet and material handling, Volvo forks are heavy-duty in design, allowing the wheel loader to move effortlessly around different work sites, such as yards, warehouses and harbors.

Improve your fuel efficiency thanks to advanced features, such as Eco pedal and the new optional lock-up function. The lock-up feature eliminates losses in the torque converter by creating a direct drive between the engine and transmission, which work in harmony with the axles. To improve cycle times and fuel use, customize the lock-up engagement of your machine.

Drive down your costs

Achieve up to 20% greater fuel efficiency thanks to advanced features, such as Eco pedal and the new optional lock-up function. The lock-up feature eliminates losses in the torque converter by creating a direct drive between the engine and transmission, which work in harmony with the axles. To improve cycle times and fuel use, customize the lock-up engagement of your machine.

Do more on and off road

Do more on and off road with a top speed of 50km/h. Not only is the machine faster, it is also a pleasure to operate thanks to the optional lock-up feature, which improves drive response and incline performance.

Productivity up, fuel down

Cut operating costs and propel your machine’s productivity with rimpull control. With the power to control the rimpull, the operator can reduce tire wear and prevent wheel spin for effective bucket filling. Select the optimum rimpull to match the application and ground conditions, and experience high productivity at low costs.

Work smarter

For the best use of engine power in all applications, rely on Smart Control, designed to optimize fuel efficiency and performance. Standard on the mid-sized H-Series wheel loaders, Smart Control ensures the correct torque in all situations for perfect harmony between the engine and hydraulics.
