eatures like these, born of the Blaw-Knox and ABG
legacy, have combined with Volvo’s commitment to
reliable performance to make Volvo the name to
trust in road equipment.
Decades of innovations
For years, these pavers have featured innovations that
were ahead of their time but quickly became paving
industry standards, including:
• Fast-attach extensions
• Extendible tunnels
• Pneumatic rubber tyres
• Hydrostatic drive
• Sonic feed controls
• Off-set bogie wheels
• Raising hopper
• Dual operator stations
Unsurpassed operator comfort
Operator seats extend beyond the edge of the machine
for improved visibility. Each seat can be adjusted to the
front or back, and each console rotates and adjusts at
two pivot points for a more comfortable ride.
PF6000 highway-class pavers
The new highway-class pavers from Volvo have been designed to take operators to the next level of
paving, with independent auger and conveyor systems, automatic conveyor tensioning, and a patented
front-wheel suspension.
Ease of operation
Automatic chain tensioningensures theproper performance
of the conveyor system, savingmaintenance time and costs.
Improved material flow control
Independent control of the auger and conveyor
provides optimal control of material flow. Sonic sensors
control each of the two auger and conveyor drives while
a priming function simplifies the filling of the auger
tunnel. Optional reversible augers and conveyors
are available.
Paver-mounted 30kW (40.2hp)
generator
Integrated into all paver models, a 30kW (40.2hp)
generator electrically heats the screed while providing
plenty of power for such auxiliary application.
Environmentally friendly cleaning
An integrated track coating system is standard on all
PF6000 Series pavers. The environmentally friendly
Blaw-Kote coating system can be used on the complete
machine and applied to the tracks with the push of
a button.
