With the G900 Motor Graders, Volvo
puts the keys to new levels of grader
productivity in your hands.
What you’ll notice first, is the power
Dig into the job and Volvo digs in with
you. Volvo D9 engines are renowned
for high torque at low RPMs, producing
responsive, fuel-efficient performance
under all operating conditions. When
you call for power to muscle through
heavy overburden or to hold and turn
loads smoothly under power, your Volvo
G900 Motor Grader comes through
without hesitation.
Then there’s the touch
Wide stance blade lift cylinders coupled
with the low angle side shift cylinder
provide the most stable grading platform
in the industry. Proportional Demand
Flow (PDF) hydraulics, ideally suited
for Automatic Blade Control systems,
along with heavy-duty inching clutches
and a powerful twin-gear direct-drive
circle turn system result in a precise,
instantly responsive earthmoving tool.
You get more one-pass finishes with
cost-saving accuracy.
Gearing up for the bottom line
Volvo HTE transmissions, including
standard 8-speed and optional 11-speed
models, translate engine output into
intelligent power for faster, simpler duty
cycles. With selectable Manual, optional
Autoshift and Travel modes, Volvo Motor
Graders offer power and speed the way
you want it, when you want it.
With the Volvo Autoshift mode, you just
select your gear and go. Your Volvo HTE
transmission does the rest to get you up
to speed in your working gear ranges
quickly, economically and smoothly.
The innovative shuttle shift feature
standard on all transmissions ensures
the industry’s quickest, simplest duty
cycles ever. Shuttle between selected
forward and reverse gears in a single
smooth motion without clutching, without
pausing, for easy effortless control and,
best of all, less fatigue at the end of a
long day.
HTE1160: the first 11-speed
grader transmission
With 11 forward speeds and
6 reverse, the optional HTE1160
from Volvo expands the gear range
of the grader to offer more control
in the low-speed range, more
efficient travel speed in the high
range, more precision in the working
range and exceptional fuel efficiency
for every task. The HTE1160 comes
standard with Volvo Autoshift,
combining maximum control with
ultimate simplicity of operation.
