VOLVO G740 MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The Volvo G740 motor grader features a robust Cummins M11 turbocharged 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of 659.1 cubic inches, delivering a maximum power output of 210 hp at 2100 rpm and peak torque of 760 lb-ft at 1300 rpm. It utilizes an 8-forward and 4-reverse speed powershift transmission, enabling forward speeds up to 27.2 mph and reverse up to 19.5 mph. The machine has an overall length of 28.4 feet, with a wheelbase of 20.5 feet and width over tires of 8.4 feet. The moldboard measures 15 feet in width, 29 inches in height, and 1 inch thick, capable of performing cuts up to 31.5 inches deep with a blade down pressure of 18,904 lbs and blade pull of 22,424 lbs at maximum weight. The blade can rotate 360 degrees and achieve front and rear tip angles of 44 and 2.5 degrees respectively, with a lateral shift of approximately 26.5 to 30.5 inches left or right, and a maximum reach outside the tires of about 79.5 inches on the left side. The front axle offers 2.1 feet of ground clearance, 16 degrees total oscillation, and 18 degrees of wheel lean, enhancing maneuverability and stability on uneven terrain. The hydraulic system is load-sensing with a 48.4 gpm pump flow and relief valve pressure set at 2500 psi. Operating weight totals approximately 35,611 lbs distributed with 10,695 lbs on the front axle and 24,917 lbs on the rear. Fuel capacity is 100 gallons, accompanied by a 24-volt electrical system and a 75-amp alternator, supporting extended operations and reliable engine performance. The grader’s articulation angle is 22 degrees, aiding in precise steering and control. This machine is optimized for productivity and durability in heavy-duty earthmoving applications.
