VOLVO VNX

The Volvo VNX is built specifically for the needs of heavy-haul trucking operations. On the outside, it’s as tough as they come. Approved Gross Combination Weight Ratings (GCWR) span from 125,000 to 160,000 pounds. Ratings of up to 225,000 pounds are available with application approval and appropriate components.

From end-to-end, every feature of the VNX is built to stand up to any heavy-haul job you throw at it.

Improvements are easy to see throughout the VNX including the bumper, axles, suspensions, braking, powertrain, and more. Every detail has been examined to increase durability and ensure you’ve got the tools you need to move extreme loads.

Wide tires. Tires bear a huge burden in heavy-haul applications. The VNX is engineered to handle rugged tires that must stand up to extreme loads on punishing roads and construction jobsites. The VNX can accommodate front axle tire sizes up to 445 mm. 

Durable framerails. VNX framerails (side members) are constructed of 760 MPA heat-treated alloy steel with a yield strength of 120,000 psi. Several combinations of frame rail height, thickness, and liners are available to meet a wide variety of hauling requirements. 

Greater clearance. The VNX chassis is designed with a high frame to offer the maximum clearance for off-road operations. 

Premium fifth wheel. Fifth wheels on the VNX feature a load capacity of 55,000 lbs. or greater and pull capacity of 150,000 lbs. or greater, ideal for trailer applications from low-boys to b-trains and long combination vehicles.

Extreme loads can’t move on just any tire setup. The VNX easily accommodates wide based steer tires for higher weight payloads. These aid in both grip and traction, without digging into the ground. An optimized casing strengthens the footprint while improving resistance to irregular wear and enhancing retreadability. The VNX also features specifically designed front fender extensions to allow for larger tires, while not creating additional tire spray or sacrificing maneuverability.
