A45GFS Volvo A45GFS Specifications & Technical Data (2019—2025)

Volvo A45G Full Suspension Hauler

Get ready to work with the Volvo A45G Full Suspension articulated hauler. Designed for heavy-hauling in severe off-road operations, the machine offers continuous productivity, proven Volvo technology, and impressive comfort, contributing to sustainable operations. Hauling is easier and more efficient.

Comfort at speed

The built-in system monitors the hauler’s wheel movements and stabilizes the machine based on ground conditions, delivering superior operator comfort.

Build the best fleet

With shorter cycle times and non-stop production, you can reduce your fleet size while maintaining the same productivity levels as other haulers.

Proven technology

First launched in 2007, the A45G FS has been designed and built with Volvo Construction Equipment’s outstanding experience and expertise.

The future of technology

Built on the proven G-Series platform, the updated A45G FS features all the unique pioneering Volvo technology you’d expect from a Full Suspension hauler, plus a host of upgrades. Take your productivity to the next level thanks to technological advancements, including improved hydraulic cylinders, enhanced machine control software, and upgrades throughout.

Unique suspension

The front suspension provides superior operator comfort; meanwhile, the rear suspension delivers greater comfort for a smooth and productive ride.

Comfortable front suspension

The unique front suspension is equipped with a set of accumulators and adapts to both payload and ground conditions, delivering unbeatable operator comfort.

Robust accumulators and intuitive cross flow

The A45G FS hauler's rear suspension is equipped with two high-pressure accumulators for loaded operations and two low-pressure accumulators for unloaded operations. The cross flow between the hydraulic cylinders stabilizes both trailer and tractor, allowing for higher average speeds over poor ground structures.

Move more for less

The Volvo A45G FS is purpose-built to deliver reliability and performance that is second to none. When working in tough terrain, the A45G FS delivers superior productivity, travel speed, and cycle times when compared to other haulers for an improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Average cycle times

Due to the ability of the Full Suspension machine to drive faster over challenging terrain, cycle times are significantly reduced.

Total fleet size

By using Full Suspension haulers, you are able to reduce fleet size to move the same amount of material.

Cost per tonne

A side-by-side study of an A45G compared to an A45G FS showed the A45G FS delivered a lower cost per tonne.

Suspension

Unique, full hydraulic, on all wheels with automatic leveling and stabilizer. Part of the machine's hydraulic system uses the same hydraulic oil.

Drivetrain

Torque converter with built-in lock-up function. Transmission: Fully automatic Volvo PowerTronic planetary transmission with nine forward gears and three reverse gears. The transmission has the ability to skip gears for fast and accurate gear selection. Dropbox: Volvo-developed, in-line design with high ground clearance and 100% longitudinal "dog clutch" type differential lock. Axles: Heavy duty, purpose built Volvo design with fully floating axle shafts, planetary type hub reductions and 100% dog clutch type diff-lock. Automatic traction control system (ATC).

Brake system

Fully hydraulic, wet multiple disc brakes with enclosed, forced oil-cooled multiple discs on all wheels. Two circuit brake system. Complies with ISO 3450 at total machine weight. Circuit division: One circuit for front axle and one for bogie axles. Parking brake: Spring-applied disc brake acting on the trailer unit propeller shaft. When the parking brake is applied, the longitudinal differential locked. Retarder: Service brake retarder function and Volvo Engine Brake (VEB).

Hydraulic system

Pumps: Four variable displacement piston pumps driven by the flywheel PTO. Two load-sensing used for steering and tipping and two electrical controlled used for fan, brake cooling and brake power supply. One ground-dependent piston pump for secondary steering mounted on the dropbox. Two return oil filters with magnetic cores provide effective oil filtration.

Steering System

Hydro-mechanical articulated steering, self compensating design. Two double-acting steering cylinders. Steering angle: 3.4 steering wheel turns lock-to-lock, ±45°. The steering system, including secondary steering, fulfills IS ISO 5010.

Cab

Mounted on rubber pads. Ergonomically designed. Easy entry and exit. Wide angle forward view. Operator centrally positioned above the front axle. Adjustable operators seat with retractable seat belt. Tilt/telescope steering wheel. Ergonomically positioned controls. Filtered air. Optional climate control system. Operator communication system: Contronics. Large color display, user-friendly and easy-to-understand information, all vital machine functions are constantly monitored. Instructor seat with seat belt. Safety: ROPS/FOPS standards approved according to ISO3471, SAE J1040 / ISO3449, SAE J231.

Active leveling sensors

Six level sensors actively monitor the frame movement in relation to the axles and signal the hydraulic system to adjust the suspension, optimizing stability during travel.

Electrical system

All cables, sockets and pins are identified. Cables are enclosed in plastic conduits and secured to the main frame. Halogen lights are included, and the system is prewired for options. Connectors meet IP67 standard for waterproofing as necessary.
