Volvo 861 overview

Volvo 861 features overview

Reliable

The 861 is designed throughout for tough, demanding service. It has a simple basic construction with compatible tried-and-tested Volvo standard components. The 861 is therefore very reliable, requiring a minimum of maintenance and service to achieve optimum economy.


Engine & Transmission

Performance

The powerful, fuel-thrifty Volvo turbo-charged engine gives the 861 power to spare. Good acceleration and good negotiability make for high average speeds and fast haulage cycles.


Wheels

Negotiability

The 861 has six large wheels with independent suspension producing excellent "floatability". Four-wheel drive, articulated steering, bogie and differential locks all go to make the 861 the premier off-road haulage vehicle.


Frames

The frame oscillation joint permits continuous rotation. Torsional stresses in the framework are eliminated. This has permitted the use of a rigid rear frame made of welded box sections and a front frame made of pressed channel sections.


Cab

Cab

The cab is mounted on rubber pads, insulated weathertight and has a flat floor with a rubber mat. It has been tested and approved as a safety cab in accordance with the ROPS standards. The heater and defroster include a heating element with fresh air heating and a two-speed fan, plus a defroster. The upholstery is flameproof, and there are points of attachment for a safety belt. Additionally, the cab has 3 exits, which include doors and a cab hatch.
