STRONGER. TOUGHER.FINER. SMARTER.From heavy cutting to fine finishing, G900Motor Graders work with grader operatorsto perform every task efficiently, profitably.Power on demandWith the G900 Motor Graders, Volvoputs the keys to new levels of profitablegrader performance in your hands. Whatyou’ll notice first, is the power. Dig intothe job and Volvo digs in with you. Volvoengines are renowned for high torque atlow RPMs, producing responsive, fuelefficient performance under all operatingconditions. When you call for power andsmooth responsive moldboard control,your Volvo G900 Motor Grader comesthrough without hesitation.Then there’s the touchHighly responsive industry-standardcontrols give skilled operators the surefeel they need to do what they dobest. Wide stance blade lift cylinderscoupled with the low angle side shiftcylinder provide the most stable gradingplatform in the industry. Heavy-dutyinching clutches and a powerful twingear direct-drive circle turn systemtranslate responsive control into preciseearthmoving results. You get more onepass finishes with cost-saving accuracy.Precise and predictableVolvo’s Proportional Demand Flow (PDF)hydraulic system, balances flow betweenall grading functions for consistent andpredictable implement control. TheG900 PDF hydraulic system is ideallysuited for all leading Automatic BladeControl systems.4Gearing up for the bottom lineVolvo HTE transmissions, includingstandard 8-speed and optional 11-speedmodels, translate engine output intointelligent power for faster, simpler dutycycles. With selectable Manual, optionalAutoshift and Travel modes, your choiceof G900 Motor Graders offers powerand speed the way you want it, when youwant it. With the Volvo Autoshift mode,you just select your gear and go. YourVolvo HTE transmission does the rest toget you up to speed in your working ortravel gear ranges quickly, economicallyand smoothly. Volvo shuttle shift, astandard feature on all Volvo Gradertransmissions, allows operators to makeeffortless, forward-to-reverse shifts (andvice versa) without stopping or usingthe inching pedal. In jobs that requirefrequent direction changes, shuttleshifting means faster cycle times, lessfatigue and more work done at day’s end.Turning the CornerThe G900 Series introduced a newconcept to motor grader thinking: alonger wheelbase that can turn in tightercircles! The long G900 wheelbaseensures greater stability and fine gradecontrol and also improves the sight lineto the leading tandem wheels, helpingoperators run closer to grade markers.For improved mobility in tight spaces,a low maintenance front axle givesthe G900 Series a reduced turningcircle with its 50 steering rangeand a large 23 articulation angle.The G900 Graders not only makethe grade but follow it, too.

HTE1160: the first 11-speedgrader transmissionWith 11 forward speeds and 6 reverse,the optional HTE1160 from Volvoexpands the gear range of the grader tooffer more control in the low-speed range,more efficient travel speedin the high range, more precision inthe working range and exceptionalfuel efficiency for every task.The HTE1160 comes standard with VolvoAutoshift, combining maximum controlwith ultimate simplicity of operation.

THE RIGHT TOOLS INTHE RIGHT HANDS.Volvo knows that you only get the best fromyour machine when you get the best from youroperator – so we made experienced operatorspart of our design team!New ideas for old handsAny tool is only as good as the personusing it. So when Volvo designed theG900 Motor Graders, we started withgrader operators.Making the best, betterOf course, we began with familiar,industry-standard grader controls thatcome easily to hand. But we gave thema more responsive feel, plus low-effortlevers and low-effort pedals to make longhours easier. We added a Volvo ContronicMonitoring System with a smart displayconsole that tells operators everythingthey need to know about the machine ata glance, in multiple languages. But wealso cleared exterior lines of sight withexceptional floor-to-roof visibility throughthe front, down to the moldboard andclose in to the sides.Accurate gradingWhen site specifications call for precisegrade control, the Volvo G900 comesthrough. Volvo worked with the leadingmanufacturers of Automatic BladeControl systems and developed theG900 family with the contractor in mind.The result – optional mounting brackets,hydraulic and electrical connectionsdesigned exclusively for machine controlsystems. Even the pedestal head hasmounting locations for grade displays. Sono matter what brand of machine controlyou currently use, the G900 is ready.6Know what you’re getting intoOpen the cab door to your Volvo MotorGrader – then, with automatic illuminationset for the steps and handholds, you stepup to the industry’s easiest entry andexit. With extensive noise and vibrationsuppression designed into the cab andwith the quiet-running Volvo enginebehind, operators spend the day in peaceand quiet.For hard-working peopleVolvo works hard to keep operators attheir best all day long. A high capacity,12-speed fan pushes fresh, doublefiltered air throughout the cab via 10well-placed outlets. Window options onthe front and sides open wide for naturalventilation or to minimize glare. Highcapacity air conditioning and heatingsystems keep temperatures comfortablein any season. A wide range of comfortamenities and ergonomic design featuresmake G900 Motor Graders a great placeto spend the working day.Optional joystick controlsVolvo joystick controls offer predictableand proportional response for hydraulicfunctions, articulation, steering andthe transmission. Volvo joysticks haveavailable buttons/triggers for the controlof all main attachments. Design offers achoice of steering via joysticks up to thespeed of 30 Km/h (18 mph) or with thesteering wheel.
