Why choose Volvo rigid trucks?
High productivity
These machines offer high transport capacity and fast cycle times, making them ideal for large-scale mining and quarrying operations. This ensures maximum material movement with fewer machines.
Optimized fuel efficiency
Advanced engine technology and intelligent transmission systems help reduce fuel consumption without compromising performance. This lowers operating costs per metric ton over the machine’s lifecycle.
Operator comfort
Spacious cabs, excellent visibility, and integrated safety systems help make operations safer and reduce operator fatigue. This translates to higher productivity and reduced risks on the job site.
Stable and Powerful Machines for Challenging Terrain
Rigid trucks are designed for large-scale material transport in controlled environments with established haul roads. They are primarily used in open-pit mining and large quarries, where high load capacity and efficiency over long distances are essential.
Unlike articulated dump trucks, rigid dump trucks perform best on stable terrain, offering consistent cycle times and high productivity over long haul distances.

Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo Rigid Trucks
We answer the most common questions about rigid trucks so you can select the right machine for your job site.
Rigid trucks are designed for long-distance transport on stable terrain and offer a higher payload capacity. Articulated trucks are better suited for rough or uneven terrain thanks to their pivoting articulation and greater maneuverability.
Rigid dump trucks transport minerals, overburden, aggregates, and bulk materials in mining and quarrying operations. They are designed to handle heavy loads under demanding conditions while maintaining consistent performance.
By combining high payload capacity with optimized transport cycles and continuous operation. When used in conjunction with large excavators, rigid trucks facilitate an efficient flow of material and reduce downtime in high-volume operations.
There is no difference: both terms refer to the same machine—a large truck with a fixed chassis used to transport large volumes of material in mining and quarrying operations.
“Rigid dump truck” is the more technical term, while “rigid haul truck” is simply an alternative way of referring to it.
