Features & Benefits

Work in comfort in the spacious Volvo cab, which can be elevated to provide operators with an eye-view 16 feet above the ground. For smooth operation when working at height, the double damped cab mounts reduce vibration and noise. Operators can raise the cab and move the outriggers directly from the joysticks.

Made for material handling

Comfort drive control

Comfort Drive Control lets operators control the machine using only the joystick, up to 11.8 mph (19km/h). What’s more the machine is available without the steering column, to further boost visibility.

Smooth control

Experience instant response, thanks to the optimized hydraulics system and joysticks, providing you with an array of functions at your fingertips. The grapple control and soft swing system work in harmony for improved accuracy during simultaneous operations.

Proven volvo quality

Lift with precision using the specially-designed boom and arm. The boom cylinder dampening minimizes shaking and holds the grapple in place, for enhanced stability. The machine is equipped with an adjustable arm-in limitation, designed to prevent collision between the cab and the grapple. The height limitation function provides further safety when working indoors.

To enhance productivity, configure your machine both inside and out, and have it delivered to you straight from the factory. For increased visibility, you can fit your machine with Volvo Smart View or a one-piece polycarbonate window, with protection film.
