About · Volvo A40

Overview

The Volvo A40 is a heavy-duty articulated dump truck with an operating weight of 31,270 kg and an engine output of 420 hp, placing it firmly in the upper tier of the articulated hauler segment. Produced continuously since 1995, the model represents a long-running platform with an established parts and service network. Its weight class and power rating position it for high-volume earthmoving and bulk haulage duties on demanding job sites.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Articulated dump trucks in the A40's class are deployed primarily in large-scale earthmoving, quarrying, road construction, and mining support operations where high payload capacity and all-terrain mobility are required. The articulated chassis design allows effective operation on soft, uneven, or restricted ground conditions that would limit rigid-frame haulers. These machines are commonly integrated into fleets alongside excavators and wheel loaders as part of continuous load-and-haul cycles.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of an articulated dump truck in this class should prioritise the condition of the articulation joint and steering cylinders, as these components absorb significant stress throughout the machine's working life. The drivetrain, axle differentials, and suspension elements warrant close examination given the load cycles typical of bulk haulage work. Buyers should review full service records, request an undercarriage and frame inspection for cracks or fatigue, and obtain a current oil sample analysis to assess engine and transmission wear before committing to purchase.

Current market

Price position

The European market average for the Volvo A40 stands at EUR 51,379, reflecting the pricing environment for this model in the used equipment sector. Principal competitors in this payload class include the Caterpillar 735 and the Terex TA40, both of which buyers typically evaluate alongside the Volvo A40 when sourcing used articulated haulers. Availability, machine condition, and age will influence where any individual unit sits relative to the market average.
