The operator’s favorite A host of new features facilitate a comfortable and productive operator performance in the A60 Volvo Articulated Hauler, even in the most demanding off-road conditions.

The operator’s favorite

Operators can stay in-the-know and focussed on the task at hand thanks to all essential in-cab information conveniently displayed on two screens. The interactive, integrated Volvo Co-Pilot display offers easy control over essential functions such as media, camera settings, climate control, and machine status. This is combined with the dynamic instrument cluster, positioned in front of the steering wheel, which provides essential vehicle data at-a-glance.

Ride in comfort

Even in the most demanding off-road conditions, the A60 is designed to keep operators safe, comfortable and working their best thanks to the excellent suspension, low noise levels, and outstanding handling and smooth gear shifts provided by the Volvo drivetrain, including the new Volvo transmission and OptiShift functionality.

In and out with ease

Enter and exit with safety and ease thanks to the repositioned door entrance, which allows the door to be comfortably opened while standing on the roomy platform. Railings on both sides of the machine further add to the safe access, while the new entrance light guides operators up the stairs without glare or discomfort. Focused lighting further ensures clear visibility on both the stairs and platform.

A new level in comfort

Experience a new level of operator comfort and convenience when you step inside the comfortable, customizable and low-noise cab. With more storage, a cool/heat box, new premium seat options and enhanced connectivity – including Bluetooth connection, USB sockets, four speakers and a microphone – operators will enjoy an in-cab experience like no other. Simplify cleaning with hanging pedals and rear drainage for effortless dirt and debris removal, while the redesigned floor mat, now in three separate pieces, facilitates easier handling and cleaning.

Ergonomic gear lever

The new ergonomic gear lever effortlessly returns to the center position after use. The result is a smoother operation, reducing operator strain and enhancing comfort and operator productivity during long work shifts.

Designed for operator performance Machine design and intelligent features combine in the A60 to help keep operators comfortable, working their best and achieving optimum results – all day, every day.

Designed for operator performance

Features including hill assist, cruise control, downhill speed control, load and dump brake and dynamic Volvo Engine Brake help operators achieve optimum results all day, every day. With the new dump support system, an angle sensor for side inclination has been added to the trailer unit and a visible alarm level can be set. This enables the operator to see what side tilt the trailer has before unloading, further supporting the operator and enhancing safety.

Enhanced visibility

With redesigned hood and cab panels, and wider wiper coverage, operators benefit from a direct field of vision which exceeds industry standards. Visibility is further enhanced by the optional front and rear cameras, and standard entrance camera. Camera views are easily managed using Volvo Co-Pilot, with options for both automatic and manual control of displays.

Safer working in low light conditions

Ambient lighting surrounding the exterior of the machine enhances visibility, particularly in low-light conditions and during nighttime operations. The result is enhanced safety and accessibility for those working in the machine’s service areas. A new entrance light guides operators up the stairs, for a safer machine entrance/exit.

Light the way

For even more visibility when working in low light conditions, optional work lights activated via the integrated Volvo Co-Pilot are now located on the pillars, providing increased illumination ranging from 1800 to 2000 lumens per light.
