Bullheaded Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 A friend sent me this. Pretty odd. An Ontario spec VNX dump truck. I actually think it looks better than the VHD vocational model. But it will be problematic with that T-Ride rear suspension and the Ontario mandated SPIF lift axle. Air ride works much better with the self equalizing SPIF axles. https://www.visiontruckgroup.com/truck/details/id/112 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60909-volvo-dump-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I like the looks of the Volvo VHD but it needs a more rugged looking bumper.

Red Horse Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 My guess is they load it with skid steers😄 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60909-volvo-dump-truck/#findComment-442318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They buy the low side boxes so the truck can't be loaded as much. They also weld steel plate from the top of the front of the box, sloped down towards the back to the floor. Wouldn't do you any good if you had to axle weigh though. If they just quit working cheap they wouldn't have to mess with all this.

Bullheaded Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 21 foot. That's what we run up here. Mine has 48 inch sides but I run sideboards, so it is 60 inch, same as the tailgate height.

Bullheaded Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 We have dumb axle laws here. I would much rather run a tri-drive with a 17 or 18 foot box. Big axle spreads and giant long trucks......for no good reason.

Bullheaded Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yes, but they look more at home on a Volvo. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60909-volvo-dump-truck/#findComment-442365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 One thing about that truck. It would be a lot easier to wash than my Star, LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60909-volvo-dump-truck/#findComment-442366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
