Maintenance is assisted by a swing-down front grille with integrated steps, which acts    as a service platform. Additionally, the hood tips 90 degrees, giving easy access to the engine compartment. All grease points and remote mounted drains are accessible from ground level or non-slip platforms. Also, there is no daily or weekly greasing needed.

The new F-Series is fitted as standard with CareTrack^®, Volvo’s telematics system that enables remote monitoring of a wide range of machine functions (e.g. fuel consumption, service reminders, etc.), and optimizing customer operations. These machines are also supported by a global network of Volvo dealers, where trained technicians use Volvo diagnostic tools and techniques. The F-Series is available with a package of customer support agreements (CSA).

These specialized Hauler Chassis-based machines retain all of the advantages of Volvo articulated haulers, performance, reliability, maneuverability and go-anywhere capability. And, in most cases, the base machines can be rebuilt back into a standard articulated hauler, increasing machine resale value considerably.
