Body & Dump System

Load Unit

L

Hoist cylinders and body Quick dumping time is not the only factor that should be considered when assessing the load unit. To maximize productivity and to reduce costs, Volvo haulers have heavy-duty bodies with a shape that accepts any loading tool. The body hinge position and dump clearance allow the material to eject out and away from the machine, and the hydraulic power and control can handle all dumping situations. The Volvo “Load & Dump” B rake improves effi- ciency and safety while giving the operator better work- ing conditions. Short cycle times Two single stage, double-acting hoist cylinders provide fast dump cycle times (12 seconds up, 9 seconds down) to maximize productivity. A dumping angle of 70°, smooth welds, and a body shaped to promote easy material release minimizes sticking of material.

Plate thickness: • front 8 mm (5/16 in) • side 12 mm (1/2 in) • bottom 14 mm (9/16 in) • chute 14 mm (9/16 in)

Advantages – load unit • Body design and effective hoist cylinder system give short dump cycle times. • Volvo “Load & Dump” function reduces operator fatigue and maximizes productivity. • Optional exhaust heating reduces the risk of mate- rial freezing or sticking to the body. • Rugged design handles most loading conditions without the need for liner plates. • A 70° dumping angle, smooth welds and a body designed to promote release of the load and to reduce sticking. • Dumping hydraulics with power and control for all applications. • High body hinge placement and high dump clear- ance to maximize productivity. • Body designed to accept all loading tools. • For optimal safety, the dump lever returns automat- ically to the hold position if the operator leaves the seat or stops the engine.

Easy to load The design of the body simplifies loading, using virtually any loading tool, and no special loading considerations need to be taken into account.

Heavy-duty construction The body is made of high-impact strength Hardox 450 steel with heavy-gauge plates. The heavy-gauge plates and rugged design are suitable for most applications except for extremely severe conditions where optional (8 mm - 5/16) body liner plates should be used.
