Why choose Volvo Rigid Haulers?
High productivity
The machines deliver powerful hauling capacity and fast cycle times, making them ideal for large-scale quarrying operations. This ensures maximum material movement with fewer machines.
Optimised Fuel Efficiency
Advanced engine technology and intelligent drivetrain systems help reduce fuel consumption without compromising performance. This lowers operating costs per ton over the machine’s lifecycle.
Operator Comfort
Spacious cabs, excellent visibility, and integrated safety systems support safer operations and reduce operator fatigue. This leads to improved productivity and fewer on-site risks.
Steady & powerful machines for tough terrains
Rigid haulers are designed for large-scale material transport in controlled environments with established haul roads. They are primarily used in surface mining and large quarry operations where high payload and long-distance efficiency are critical.
Unlike articulated haulers, rigid trucks operate best on stable ground conditions, delivering consistent cycle times and high productivity over long haul distances.
Frequently asked questions about the rigid haulers from Volvo
We answer the most common questions about rigid haulers for you to select the right machine for your site.
Rigid haulers are built for long-distance hauling on stable terrain, offering higher payload capacity. Articulated haulers are better suited for rough or uneven terrain due to their pivot joint and increased manoeuvrability.
Rigid haulers transport ores, overburden, aggregates, and bulk materials in mining and quarry operations. They are designed to handle heavy loads under demanding conditions while maintaining consistent performance.
By combining high payload capacity with optimised haul cycles and continuous operation. When used with large excavators, rigid haulers support efficient material flow and reduce downtime in high-volume operations.
There is no difference - both terms refer to the same machine: a large, fixed‑chassis truck used to transport high volumes of material in mining and quarry operations.
“Rigid hauler” is the more technical term, while “rigid dump truck” is simply an alternative naming convention.
