LESS WORK

MORE PRODUCTION

The Volvo approach to servicing lets you spend more time working on the job, less time working on the machine.

Ease of service,

low maintenance demands

G900 Motor Graders carry on the Volvo approach to maximum uptime: minimize the machine’s need for service, then simplify the service tasks it does require.

Start every day easy. Sensible Volvo service design starts with fueling and all engine service points accessible from ground-level, with minimal grease points and no daily greasing required. Sight glasses and level sensors make daily checks virtually effortless.

Open for business

With an Easy Lift rear hood, gull-wing side panels and removable hydraulic tank cover, G900 Motor Graders are unrivaled for easy routine service. The complete rear cowling opens wide to allow quick, thorough service checks, then back to work quickly.

Keep it simple, smart

With their modular powertrain design concept, G900 Motor Graders simplify maintenance on major components and allow new levels of flexibility for optimal service scheduling.

The hydraulic system is designed for fast manual or pressure fills through the top of the tank. All added fluids must pass through a large, full flow return filter to prevent accidental contamination in the reservoir that could lead to down time. Hoses are routed over the surface of the frame for simple inspections.

The Volvo cooling module eliminates stacked cores. Instead, multiple cooling cores are positioned to receive fresh, cool ambient air continuously.

A thermostatically controlled, hydraulically driven fan maximizes available power and fuel savings. An auto-reversing cooling fan option allows continuous self-cleaning to further improve cooling performance and reduce service needs.

Everything you want to know The G900 electronic monitoring system provides a familiar window to the standard Volvo Contronics system, providing a complete record of grader functions to help operators, owners and service technicians achieve optimum machine performance.

V-ACT

The new generation of D9 engines with Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology (V-ACT) is tailored for grader applications, designed to run cleanly and efficiently without the extra service requirements

of additional equipment or after-treatment of exhaust gases.
