From heavy cutting to fine finishing, G900
Motor Graders work with grader operators
to perform every task efficiently, profitably.
Power on demand
With the G900 Motor Graders, Volvo
puts the keys to new levels of profitable
grader performance in your hands. What
you’ll notice first, is the power. Dig into
the job and Volvo digs in with you. Volvo
engines are renowned for high torque at
low RPMs, producing responsive, fuel-
efficient performance under all operating
conditions. When you call for power to
muscle through heavy overburden or
to hold and turn loads smoothly under
power, your Volvo G900 Motor Grader
comes through without hesitation.
Then there’s the touch
Highly responsive industry-standard
controls give skilled operators the sure
feel they need to do what they do
best. Wide stance blade lift cylinders
coupled with the low angle side shift
cylinder provide the most stable grading
platform in the industry. Heavy-duty
inching clutches and a powerful twin-
gear direct-drive circle turn system
translate responsive control into precise
earthmoving results. You get more one-
pass finishes with cost-saving accuracy.
Precise and predictable
Volvo’s Proportional Demand Flow (PDF)
hydraulic system, balances flow between
all grading functions for consistent and
predictable implement control. The
G900 PDF hydraulic system is ideally
suited for all leading Automatic Blade
Control systems.
Gearing up for the bottom line
Volvo HTE transmissions, including
standard 8-speed and optional 11-speed
models, translate engine output into
intelligent power for faster, simpler duty
cycles. With selectable Manual, optional
Autoshift and Travel modes, your choice
of G900 Motor Graders offers power
and speed the way you want it, when you
want it. With the Volvo Autoshift mode,
you just select your gear and go. Your
Volvo HTE transmission does the rest to
get you up to speed in your working or
travel gear ranges quickly, economically
and smoothly. Volvo shuttle shift, a
standard feature on all Volvo Grader
transmissions, allows operators to make
effortless, forward-to-reverse shifts (and
vice versa) without stopping or using
the inching pedal. In jobs that require
frequent direction changes, shuttle
shifting means faster cycle times, less
fatigue and more work done at day’s end.
STRONGER. TOUGHER.
FINER. SMARTER.
