Lower maintenance costs


Keep service costs to a minimum thanks to simplified servicing, longer change intervals and easy component access. Servicing your machine is quick and easy thanks to industry leading service access and essential maintenance points accessible from the ground. What's more, eliminate daily or weekly greasing thanks to industry leading greasing intervals of 250 hours for maximum uptime.

5% reduction in service costs


Reduce service costs by up to 5% over 12 000-hours of operation thanks to simplified servicing, longer change intervals and easy component access. Benefit from industry leading greasing intervals of 250 hours for maximum uptime.

Unbeatable off-road performance


Go where other 60-tonne machines cannot, in all seasons, terrains and applications, thanks to the unbeatable off-road performance of the A60. Fitted with active hydraulic front suspension, enabling high hauling speeds in the toughest conditions, the A60 features proven Volvo drivetrain, automatic drive combinations (including 100% differential locks), all-terrain bogie and hydro-mechanical steering for unmatched traction, stability and precision control. With Volvo Dynamic Drive, dynamic and predictive gear selection adapts to the operating conditions at hand, for improved comfort and fuel efficiency. What's more, the intelligent design is optimized for maximum efficiency in high payload applications, with outstanding tipping stability for safe and productive operations.

Intuitive operator interface


Operators can stay in-the-know and focussed on the task at hand thanks to all essential in-cab information conveniently displayed on two screens. The interactive, integrated Volvo Co-Pilot display offers easy control over essential functions such as media, camera settings, climate control, and machine status. This is combined with the dynamic instrument cluster, positioned in front of the steering wheel, which provides essential vehicle data at-a-glance.

Reinforced axles


Take on the most challenging work environments and off-road conditions in the A60 thanks to the reinforced axles, which withstand heavier loads, higher levels of torque and stress. The added strength and stability provided by the axles contributes to higher uptime, reduced wear, longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs.

Total operator control


Features including hill assist, cruise control, downhill speed control, load and dump brake and dynamic Volvo Engine Brake help operators achieve optimum results all day, every day.
