Volvo CE is unveiling its new P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG compact pavers

Volvo Construction Equipment’s (Volvo CE) is unveiling two new compact and agile pavers, the P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG. Made for the city, the P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG are the most compact pavers in Volvo CE’s line-up. Ideal for small-to-medium paving applications, the duo offer low operating cost, safety and operator comfort.

Not unlike the rest of Volvo’s paver range, the P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG generate low levels of noise, making them suited to inner-city projects, such as cycle tracks, parking lots and pedestrian areas. Highly efficient, the new machines also promise low fuel consumption and low CO² emissions. With their 55kW Volvo engines and perfectly matched hydraulics, the compact pavers feature the same best-in-class drive system fitted to larger models.

Thanks to their compact design, the P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG make a very flexible solution. Strong enough to push a feed truck, they can also be easily fed by other machinery, such as wheeled loader or excavator. Customers can choose between the more common dual conveyor or Volvo’s single conveyor – the latter a feature that is exclusive to Volvo in this size-class and results in higher hourly output.

Adding to the pavers’ versatility are a host of optional configurations that make it possible for both the wheeled and tracked models to take on a broader range of jobs. These include individually operated hopper wings, enabling each unit to pave closer to obstacles, and an electro-hydraulic foldable roof that helps these pavers sneak in when there is minimal height clearance.

The P2820D ABG and P2870D ABG are also small enough to be transported along with a compactor on the same transport vehicle.
