Features & Benefits

From the body and drivetrain engineering through to on-board weighing option and site solutions, the R60 is designed to take productivity to the next level.

Move more, faster

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.

High capacity V-shaped body

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.

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. It also assists operators in employing the 10-10-20 payload profile policy (please ask your local dealer for more detailed information).

Optimum match

The R60 rigid hauler is a perfect match to the EC950F crawler excavator and L350H wheel loader, 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.

Reduce your number one operating cost in the R60 rigid hauler, featuring Volvo Dynamic Shift Control, Eco mode and automatic engine idle shut down.

Do more with less fuel

Keep fuel costs to a minimum in this Volvo 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.

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 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 and low raked dashboard. Take visibility to new heights with the optional Volvo Smart View, giving operators a 360° bird’s-eye-view of the work zone.

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.

Smooth ride

Enjoy superior ride quality in the robust Volvo Rigid Hauler, 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.

Always in control

The rigid hauler 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

Whether operating or servicing your rigid dumper, gain straightforward machine access. Enter the ROPS/FOPS certified cab from both sides using anti-slip steps and secure walkways. Complete essential planned maintenance from the wide platform or ground level.

Robust, reliable and easy to maintain, you can count on the R60 rigid hauler to keep your operation moving.

Unrivalled 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.

Long life components

Offering a low center of gravity and even weight distribution, the Volvo Rigid Hauler 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.

500 HR service intervals & remote monitoring

Keep working without interruption in the heavy-duty rigid hauler, thanks to long service intervals. Maximize machine uptime and reduce repair costs with CareTrack: the optional telematics connection enables to remotely monitor the health of your fleet.
