TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PRODUCTIVITY. The Volvo Way.

Articulated Steering
Unique, self-compensating hydro-mechanical
system provides precise steering throughout the
machine’s life, excellent maneuverability and a short turning
radius. Powerful and accurate steering ensures highly productive,
safe operation. Volvo steering system, giving the operator an
outstanding control of the machine, is superior to all others on
the market.
A typical work cycle for an articulated hauler includes loading, travel, maneuvering and
dumping. The Volvo A25F and A30F machines perform these operations in the most
efficient and safe way, excelling all others.

Easy and EFFICIENT HAULING. DEFINED.

“F” Stands for Fuel Efficiency

F-series haulers provide market leading fuel
efficiency. Reliable Volvo components, designed
using over 40 years experience, competence and the latest
industrial technologies are well matched in the drivetrain,
specially developed for heavy duty applications. Functioning
together, they ensure high rimpull, low power losses and a long
service life. Main customer benefits – reduced operating costs
and environmental impact.
Customer trust is not just given, but earned over years. Volvo developed the hauler
concept in the 1960s and retains its position as the world’s leading articulated hauler
manufacturer. When choosing A25F or A30F, you can be sure – the job will be done
quickly, cost effectively and safely, with low environmental impact.

volvo construction equipment

Volvo Construction Equipment is different. Our machines are designed, built and supported
in a different way. That difference comes from an engineering heritage of over 175 years.
A heritage of thinking first about the people who actually use the machines. About how to
help them be safer, more comfortable, more productive. About the environment we all share.
The result of that thinking is a growing range of machines and a global support network
dedicated to helping you do more. People around the world are proud to use Volvo.
And we’re proud of what makes Volvo different.

Not all products are available in all markets. Under our policy of continuous improvement, we reserve the right to change
specifications and design without prior notice. The illustrations do not necessarily show the standard version of the machine.
