Two rigid-frame haulers have been added to the line: R60 and R70 complement the Volvo R100 haul truck introduced last year.
The R60 has a body volume of 47 cubic yards and a payload capacity of 121,254 pounds. The R70 can carry 143,300 pounds and has a body volume of 55.6 cubic yards. Both are powered by a 760-horsepower Cummins QSK 19 diesel.
A V-shaped haul body is designed for load retention and carry-back post-dumping. It has a fast-tip system. An optional on-board weighing system is available. A new adaptive retarder system automatically controls the rear braking system when traveling downhill. For long downhauls, the haulers feature gear-dependent speed control and a selectable brake or transmission retarder, which also helps reduce operator fatigue.
Both the Volvo R60 and Volvo R70 have 500-hour service intervals, and maintenance can be completed swiftly thanks to a straightforward machine design that includes grouped maintenance points located within easy reach either from the ground or the service platform. Common-sized bearings keep parts stocking simple and cost-effective.
