Find out more about the efficient and high performing SD70, delivering the same drum performance as the SD75.
SD70

Drum performance

Featuring a common drum with the Volvo SD75, benefit from all the drum quality and performance which Volvo has been synonymous with for over 50-years. Volvo’s advanced drum control system delivers multiple frequencies, dual amplitude and optimized centrifugal force.

Gradeability

The SD70 provides outstanding climbing and traction capabilities across a variety of conditions, designed to prevent wheel and drum spin, improve gradeability and maximize performance and productivity. For the more demanding applications, an optional higher traction variant optimizes hydraulic flow between the drum and tire drive systems to provide the correct balance of power across the two points for enhanced climbing performance.

Volvo Engine

The perfectly optimized Volvo Tier 4 Final engine delivers high torque at low RPM for superior performance and low fuel consumption. Passive regeneration boosts productivity by automatically cleaning filters without operator input or effect on performance.

Operator experience

With an open ROPS platform, the SD70 provides operators with a safe and comfortable working environment, combined with excellent all-round visibility. With the bolt-on steel canopy available as an option, fleets can configure the operator environment of the machine according to their requirements.
