Body & Dump System

“Load & Dump” Function

Volvo has developed a “Load & Dump” function to reduce operator movements and to enhance productivity. When the articulated hauler is in position for loading or dumping, the operator presses a button which results in automatic application of the trailer brakes and shifting of the transmission to neutral. This improves efficiency and safety while giving the operator better working condi- tions. Wear on the brakes and drivetrain is also mini- mized. After the hauler has been loaded or unloaded, the opera- tor selects a gear and the “Load & Dump” brake system switches off and releases the trailer brakes. In position for loading, the operator pushes the “Load & Dump” button (2), resulting in automatic application of the load unit brakes and shifting of the transmission into neutral. When loading has been completed, moving the gearshift lever from Reverse through neutral to Drive (A) will release the brakes and engage the new gear When entering the loading area driving forward (3), the procedure is the same. However, when loading has been completed, moving the gearshift lever from Drive to Neutral and then back to Drive (B) will release the brakes and engage the new gear. In position for dumping, the operator pushes the “Load & Dump” button (2). To dump the load, the dump lever is moved to the dumping position. When dumping has been completed, the dump lever is moved back to the float or power-down position and moving the gearshift lever from Reverse through neutral to Drive (A) will release the brakes and engage the new gear. When entering the dumping area driving forward (5), the procedure is the same. However, when dumping has been completed, the dump lever is moved back to the float position and moving the gearshift lever from Drive to Neutral and then back to Drive (B) will release the brakes and engage the new gear.
