MORE UPTIME.
LESS UPKEEP.
G900 Motor Graders reflect the Volvo commitment
to equipment that spends more time on the job, less
time in the shop.
Ease of service,
low maintenance demands
Start every day easy. 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.
Sensible service design starts with easy
ground-level fueling and minimal grease
points, with no daily greasing required.
Sight glasses and level sensors
make daily checks virtually effortless.
Exclusive long-wearing Duramide™ circle
support bearings prevent metal-to-metal
contact to keep critical tolerances tight
and the circle turning smoothly.
Changing the Duramide bearings on
the moldboard slide rail is fast and easy
- simply remove 4 bolts and slide the
lower sleeve bearing out!
The G990 top and bottom moldboard
rails are shim-adjustable to maintain tight
blading tolerances.
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
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.
CareTrack:
Everything you want to know
All G900 Motor Graders can be equipped
with CareTrack, a remote monitoring
system developed by Volvo Construction
Equipment. The system collects
machine data which can be wirelessly
transferred to a computer. The machine
data displayed remotely includes:
machine position, operating hours, fuel
consumption, alarms and more*.
CareTrack makes it easier to plan for
service and reduces costly downtime.
It also helps eliminate unauthorized
usage and theft by using virtual fences
to restrict the operating area of the
machine.
*May vary by machine model and/or subscription.
