In addition, Volvo rigid dump trucks with high capacity and high transport speed are equipped with intelligent monitoring systems. Optional Integrated System The On-Board Weighing Device ( OBW ) is an integrated system that determines the optimal payload for equipment transportation to further optimize productivity and minimize operating costs. From a technical point of view, productivity is optimized by monitoring the machine's operating conditions with an external pressure sensor and transmitting the resulting statistical information to the operator's on-board display. It is worth mentioning that the operator and the fleet manager can not only view the machine information in real time through the car display, but also remotely access it through Volvo's CareTrackTM telematics system to understand the progress of the work in real time and modify the work plan in time.  

Customers who are committed to improving the productivity of existing and future projects can also contact a local Volvo dealer to try out the Volvo Live Simulation System. The system provides customers with important information about their machinery, fleet selection and site configuration, helping them maximize productivity while managing ownership and operating costs.

Durable design

To increase product life and productivity, the Volvo R100E features a durable design that enhances the protection of individual components and extends the product life cycle, extending the length of planned maintenance equipment.

Volvo R100E

The Volvo R100E has rock solid stability. It maintains excellent working conditions even under extremely harsh terrain conditions. The Volvo R100E has a low center of gravity and a professionally designed body and chassis. The McPherson strut lower wishbone front suspension and the new effort-saving steering system work together perfectly. Thanks to the pilot-operated remotely mounted steering control valve, the operator can control the steering with a small radius and intuitively, making it easy to control the machine during sharp turns.

The Volvo R100E not only delivers outstanding performance and productivity through outstanding operator comfort, machine control and stability, but also reduces maintenance costs. Its wide front suspension absorbs load and ground impact, effectively protecting the machine structure at critical locations. The "horse neck yoke" design of the frame also embodies the precise engineering design principle, which makes the machine smooth on rough and uneven roads. In addition, the frame is made of box-section steel and high-strength steel castings are used at critical stress locations to fully absorb ground impact. All rack holes are also fitted with bushings for extra protection. And the vehicle body to the chassis, the Volvo has invested heavily in rigorous tests, including application of 60, 000 hours chassis fatigue loading test. In addition to its sophisticated design, the body of the R100E Rigid Dump Truck is made of 400 HBW steel with high impact and wear resistance, resulting in long-lasting performance.

Operator's choice

The Volvo R100E is not only an efficient machine, but also strives to increase productivity from the perspective of caring operators, such as the design of a comfortable cab that meets ROPS/FOPS standards. The cab is designed on a damped vibration isolation base that not only provides excellent driving, but also reduces vibration and reduces external noise.

On the operator's seat on the left side of the cab, the operator can observe the job site and surrounding areas through large glass windows and low-angle windshields. In addition, the 360- degree surround vision system provided by Volvo's intelligent visual device further expands the operator's field of vision. The system utilizes multiple external wide-angle cameras to give the operator an unobstructed view of the work area around the vehicle on the vehicle display. In addition, the system not only improves the safety of the operator and the operator, but also allows the operator to safely avoid obstacles on the ground. Especially when reversing, you can reduce or avoid collisions with other objects, thus minimizing machine and tire damage. Reduce the risk of accidents from machine damage, significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending uptime.  

It is worth mentioning that all instruments and ergonomic fingertip controls are within reach of the operator. At the same time, when the operator sits on the Volvo air suspension operator's seat, the seat height can be flexibly adjusted to keep the body in a comfortable state. In addition, the cab is equipped with ventilated heating and air conditioning with pressurized features and ample storage space to avoid clutter in the cab and cause interference to the operator's work.  

Like all Volvo equipment, this rigid dump truck not only has high performance, but also a high degree of safety, which is reflected in all aspects of the machine. To protect the operator and field personnel, all machine systems, including the emergency stop switch, are easily accessible.
