Quarries & aggregates

Designed for profitability. Reduce production costs and inefficiencies with optimized equipment, dedicated support, and intelligent services designed for demanding quarry operations. With us by your side, you get integrated solutions that can address and improve your complete operational picture.

Keep production on track

Develop site-wide strategies that support improved material flows. Our actionable data insights can help you identify operational inefficiencies.

Support crew safety

Identify and address quarry risks. Our machines and real-time monitoring solutions work together to enhance visibility, helping you support crew safety.

Navigate your transition

Lower your operational emissions at your own pace. Our consultancy on infrastructure and charging implementation meets you where you are. 

Optimize performance across your site

In quarry operations, small inefficiencies in loading, hauling or dumping can quickly slow production and increase fuel use. With Volvo Site Optimization, our specialists assess your site using simulations and scenario planning to identify improvement opportunities.
This may include matching the right number and size of haulers to loading equipment, improving haul roads, or adjusting traffic flow and dump points.

Increase production insights

Reduce time-consuming paperwork and improve visibility into production, inventory and material flow with our digital solutions. Our brand-agnostic site management services provide real-time insights into production targets, fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions to help you identify potential improvement opportunities.

Address tightening environmental regulations

By lowering your operational emissions, you can gain a competitive advantage, attract customers and prepare your operations for evolving regulatory requirements. We support you with HVO100-compatible conventional machines, electric equipment and digital tools that help you measure and reduce emissions and resource consumption.

Reduce risks across your site

Quarry operations come with real safety challenges, from unstable terrain and limited visibility to heavy traffic. By combining site-wide safety systems and visibility solutions, you can help reduce risks and support a safer environment for operators and crews.

Building safer quarry operations

Handle tough jobs with zero exhaust emissions

Cox Construction employs a Volvo ECR25 Electric compact excavator to break large rocks at their quarry, showing that small electric equipment can handle demanding quarry applications. They benefit from zero exhaust emissions during operation, reduced noise, and simplified recharging.

Cox Construction story

Improve efficiency and comfort

Discover how Sebald Zement’s EC530E excavator delivers the power needed for limestone extraction while reducing fuel consumption. With features designed to improve operator comfort, the machine has helped maintain high productivity during extended shifts.

Explore our industry innovation

North America’s first construction machine with a dump body made from fossil-free steel has logged 1000+ hours supporting quarry operations at Pennsy Supply. This pilot Volvo hauler demonstrates the potential of partnerships to reduce manufacturing emissions through verified fossil-free steel sourcing.

Solve quarry challenges

Reduce the risk of speeding, blind spot misjudgements and collisions when crews work together. Our safety features, such as Collision Mitigation System for wheel loaders, speed zone mapping and HD Volvo Smart View with Obstacle Detection, can help operators detect and avoid hazards. An office portal tracks any violations of restricted zones and speeding zones to help identify patterns and areas requiring attention.

Address costs associated with skilled workforce shortages and operator training requirements. Our training and advice services can enhance operator skills and improve site operations through expert training programs, efficiency coaching, and data-driven advisory services that support cost reduction and productivity improvements.

Our operator assist technologies can help operators improve productivity during actual operations, and our Volvo Simulators provide safe, realistic training environments that prepare operators before stepping into the cab. 

Reduce costs associated with production queueing and imbalanced workflows. Our site management services provide real-time visibility into site operations and material flows to help you identify bottlenecks and balance production chains. This visibility can also support opportunities to optimize machine utilization and fuel efficiency.

Support accurate invoicing, simplified customer management and efficient workflows. Our On-Board Weighing solution provides real-time insights into the bucket’s load, and Load Ticket generates digital load tickets in real-time using this information. This data is then sent directly to the site office, which can help improve administration accuracy and efficiency, and simplify customer management.

Our fleet monitoring and site management services provide you with operational reports and CO₂ emissions tracking from your fuel consumption. This enables you to track idle time and identify opportunities to reduce fuel consumption, with the possibility to reduce associated CO₂ emissions. Additionally, our electric machines produce zero exhaust emissions during operation, which can support emission reduction goals in applications where they are regulated.

Get real-time machine health tracking, predictive alerts and performance data with our fleet monitoring services. This can help you identify issues before they become serious problems. For additional support, our worldwide dealer network is available for training and maintenance services, and our flexible financial solutions can help improve equipment availability.

Our Site Optimization consultancy service provides expert site assessments and data-driven analysis to help you optimize your operations. Through on-site evaluations and material flow analysis, we identify opportunities to support reductions in cost per tonne and operational efficiency improvements. This enables you to make informed decisions about equipment sizing and logistics planning.
