The Load Management System allows operators to see
what they can safely pick up relative to the slope. By
monitoring slope inclinations as well as boom angle and orientation,
the operator can easily manage the load at all times.

Unrivalled safety
Safety is at the forefront of Volvo’s pipelayer design. The unique Load Management System (LMS)
is just one of the buitlt-in safety features that will help to increase your performance and productivity.
A Volvo pipelayer won’t let you down.

Anti two-block
The mechanical anti two-block system, which features a wireless
sensor, prevents the winch blocks from coming into contact during
lifting – increasing safety.

greatly improve lateral visibility.

Working range
Volvo pipelayers feature long booms which,
together with the boom mounting position,
provide a higher hook height and reach.

Anti two-block device

For increased safety and machine uptime, the
anti two-block system prevents the winch blocks
from coming into contact during lifting.

360° 360° swing

The superstructure can swing
360° providing you with infinite
pipe placement possibilities.

Four bar cab riser

When elevated, the unique four bar
cab riser system provides excellent
visibility to the worksite and into the trench.

Serviceability
Grouped filters and service points
are quick to access at ground level
via large, wide compartment doors.

Slew lock
A heavy-duty, mechanical slew lock secures the
superstructure at any angle to the undercarriage
when holding a load on a slope or during tie-ins.

PL4809D Improved tractive force

A 70% improvement in tractive force allows
the pipelayer to maneuver over tough terrain
and climb a 30° slope while carrying a heavy
load. The machine can also travel faster than
its predecessor over flat ground.

11
 Easy conversion
The pipelayer’s hydraulic system is designed to be optimized for both pipelayer
and excavator operations. Easily convert your machine with digging equipment
(available as an option) for excellent digging power and performance equal to a standard
excavator.

heavy lift applications, ensuring maximum machine uptime. Do
more with Volvo.

Fast conversion
Two people can quickly convert the pipelayer to an excavator in just one day thanks to factory
pre-installed hydraulic lines and connections.

AMS
The Attachment Management System (AMS) stores up to 18 attachment pre-sets and permits
hydraulic flow (standard) and pressure (optional) to be adjusted, enabling the use of various
attachments for increased versatility.
