Volvo Active Control

Automated grading
Boom and bucket movements are automatically adjusted to maintain an even grade. With single-lever grading, your left hand controls the arm speed, while your right hand takes a break.

Swing control
Allows to pre-program the location of the trench and pile, to assist in digging and truck loading. Can be overridden with the joystick.

Bucket angle control with return to dig
Automated bucket adjustments maintain a constant cutting angle.

Tilt bucket control
Digging a V-shaped ditch is made easy with automated tilt bucket control.

Depth limit
Prevents the bucket tip going beneath a pre-set depth, to avoid contact with underground hazards, such as pipes and cables.

Height limit
Prevents the boom and bucket from going above a pre-set elevation, to avoid overhead obstacles such as power lines.

Swing fence
Prevents the swing exceeding pre-set limits, to avoid contact with side obstacles. Cannot be overridden with the joystick.
