VOLVO A60H – WORLD’S LARGEST ARTICULATED HAULER — MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT MINEXPO 2016

Volvo Construction Equipment once again reinvents the category of articulated haulers with the A60H — a first-of-its-kind, 60-ton-capacity, fully articulated hauler that invites customers to rethink the way they’re moving material.

Built upon the same engineering advancements as its smaller, industry-leading counterparts, the A60H provides the same off-road capability, now with an impressive 60-ton payload capacity.
