using it. So when Volvo designed the
G900MotorGraders,westartedwith
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 added a Volvo Contronic
MonitoringSystemwithasmartdisplay
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.
Accurate grading
When site specifications call for precise
gradecontrol,theVolvoG900comes
through. Volvo worked with the leading
manufacturersofAutomaticBlade
Control systems and developed the
G900familywiththecontractorinmind.
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
youcurrentlyuse,theG900isready.
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!
