Equipment Overview
The Volvo A30 is an articulated dump truck built for off-road hauling across broken, uneven ground, part of Volvo’s articulated hauler range below the A35, A40, and A45. It carries a 29,000 kg rated payload and a 17.8 m³ heaped body, producing 265 kW of gross power, suited to general construction, heavy infrastructure, and quarrying.
Power comes from a Volvo D11F engine rated at 265 kW at 2,000 rpm, with 2,040 N·m of peak torque at 1,200 rpm. Automatic Traction Control with Terrain Memory manages wheel slip and remembers slippery ground on repeat routes, and 100% differential locks are available across all axles for difficult terrain. Wet brakes on all wheels combine with the Volvo Engine Brake and a downhill speed control function for controlled descents, and the whole machine stays under three metres wide, including the tailgate, for easy transport between sites.
