Dig assist

Your work day just got easier with Volvo Active Control. Automated boom and bucket movements make the digging process more efficient and more accurate, with less effort. Simply set the grade, push the button and get the work done – all controlled using a single lever.

In-Field Design makes easy work of time-consuming jobs, using GNSS and RTK navigation technology to offer centimeter-level accuracy across a wide range of tasks, such as trenching, foundations and driveway/pool preparation. Go from a paper drawing to a digital excavation model in minutes, using the simple on-screen instructions to design your digital shape before using the machine to replicate it in real-life. You can now select UTM zones, create design templates, and share them with your other machines thanks to In-Field Design Advanced. The cloud-based option also allows you to capture “as-built” GPS data points and export them via the cloud.

Say goodbye to guesswork with the On-Board Weighing option, providing real-time insights into the bucket’s load. For optimal loading, operators can set limits per truck/hauler type. The system counts all buckets unloaded in a pre-defined truck loading zone. Total tonnage moved is also recorded (e.g. per shift or day).
