THE RIGHT TOOLS IN
THE RIGHT HANDS.
Volvo knows that you only get the best from
your machine when you get the best from your
operator – so we made experienced operators
part of our design team!
New ideas for old hands
Any tool is only as good as the person
using it. So when Volvo designed the
G900 Motor Graders, we started with
grader operators.
Making the best, better
Of course, we began with familiar,
industry-standard grader controls that
come easily to hand. But we gave
them a more responsive feel, plus low-
effort levers and low-effort pedals to
make long hours easier. We devised an
interior layout that puts all operational
controls right where you need them.
Then surrounded it with the industry’s
most spacious compartment plus a
pedestal and seat that adjust to fit the
space to the operator. We added a Volvo
Contronic Monitoring System with a
smart display console that tells operators
everything they need to know about
the machine at a glance, in multiple
languages. But we also cleared exterior
lines of sight with exceptional floor-to-
roof visibility through the front, down to
the moldboard and close in to the sides.
Plus an unequalled rear view. A Volvo
Care Cab, in every sense.
Accurate grading
When site specifications call for precise
grade control, the Volvo G900 comes
through. Volvo worked with the leading
manufacturers of Automatic Blade
Control systems and developed the
G900 family with the contractor in mind.
The result – optional mounting brackets,
hydraulic and electrical connections
designed exclusively for machine control
systems. Even the pedestal head has
mounting locations for grade displays. So
no matter what brand of machine control
you currently use, the G900 is ready.
Know what you’re getting into
Open the cab door to your Volvo
Motor Grader – then, with automatic
illumination set for the steps and
handholds, you step up to the industry’s
easiest entry and exit. Inflows of outside
air are easily adjusted for maximum cab
pressurization or increased re-circulation
for fast warm-ups or cool downs. With
extensive noise and vibration suppression
designed into the cab and with the quiet-
running Volvo engine behind, operators
spend the day in peace and quiet.
For hard-working people
Volvo works hard to keep operators at
their best all day long. A high capacity,
12-speed fan pushes fresh, double-
filtered air throughout the cab via 10
well-placed outlets. Window options on
the front and sides open wide for natural
ventilation or to minimize glare. High
capacity air conditioning and heating
systems keep temperatures comfortable
in any season. A wide range of comfort
amenities and ergonomic design features
make G900 Motor Graders a great place
to spend the working day.
