About · Volvo A40D

Overview

The Volvo A40D is a heavy-duty articulated dump truck with an operating weight of 31,270 kg and an engine output of 420 hp. It belongs to the large-frame articulated hauler class, designed for high-volume earthmoving and bulk-material transport in demanding site conditions. The machine represents Volvo's established presence in the 40-tonne payload segment of the articulated dump truck market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Articulated dump trucks in this class are typically deployed on large-scale civil engineering projects, quarry operations, and mining site work where rough terrain and high cycle volumes are primary requirements. Their articulated chassis design allows operation on soft, uneven, or steep ground where rigid-frame haulers would be unsuitable. Common tasks include overburden removal, aggregate haulage, and bulk earthworks on infrastructure and groundworks contracts.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should commission a full inspection of the articulation joint, dumpbody pivot points, and suspension components, as these areas experience concentrated stress in daily hauler operations. The drivetrain, axles, and differential locks warrant close attention given the typical duty cycles associated with this machine class. Hydraulic system integrity, tyre condition across all six positions, and the service history of the engine and transmission should all be reviewed before purchase. An independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified heavy-equipment technician is advisable to establish an accurate picture of remaining service life and any deferred maintenance.

Current market

Price position

In the European market, the A40D trades at an average of EUR 51,475, with a typical price range spanning EUR 47,500 to EUR 53,940. Buyers evaluating this machine will generally also consider the Caterpillar 735 and the Terex TA40, both of which compete directly in the same payload and application category. Positioning within that competitive set means pricing and mechanical condition are the primary differentiators when comparing units on the open market.
