Equipment Overview
The Volvo A40 is an articulated dump truck built for off-road hauling across broken, uneven ground, part of Volvo’s articulated hauler range between the smaller A30 and A35 and the larger A45. It carries a 39,000 kg rated payload and a 24 m³ heaped body, producing 350 kW of gross power, suited to quarrying, mining, and large-scale construction hauling.
Power comes from a Volvo D13F engine rated at 350 kW at 1,800 rpm, with 2,525 N·m of peak torque at 1,050 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 to hold a constant speed on descents, reducing the need for the retarder pedal.
