Body & Dump System

Efficient Load Placement Over an edge

Over an edge

The high placement of the body hinge (B) and the dis- tance between the rear bogie axle and the chute (D) gives productivity advantages at the dumping site. When dumping over an edge, the operator can safely back up close to the edge and still have the load eject out past the edge. The high-dump clearance (C) with the body raised and the material ejecting away from the hauler doesn’t allow build-up of material at the dump site edge. This high-dump clearance with the body raised also keeps the load tightly packed, making better use of the dumping area.

Into a hopper

Into a hopper Due to the great distance between the rear bogie axle and the chute (D) when the load body is raised, no material is spilled outside the hopper. The good ground clearance with raised load body (C) also makes it pos- sible to drive the machine away from the hopper with the body up, thereby not preventing other machines from backing up to the hopper.

Stockpile Due to the large dumping angle (A) and the powerful dumping force, it is possible to dump on very steep uphill grades without the material remaining in the body. Fur- ther, the distance between the rear bogie axle and the chute (D) also helps to dump the load over the highest point on the pile. Body heating The body is standard-equiped with ductwork for exhaust heating. An optional piping kit routes exhaust from the muffler to the body ductwork, reducing the risk of mate- rial freezing or sticking in the body. Power and control Dumping hydraulics must also be evaluated. We have developed a dumping system that has the power and control to tackle all circumstances. Whether it’s dumping up or down a slope or lowering the body with a load, Volvo has the power and control. Safety With safety in mind, Volvo developed the new dump lever. Whenever the operator leaves the seat or turns off the engine, the lever returns to the hold position. When the dump lever is put in the hold position, the body will stop.
