This versatile machine features a 1-meter bucket width with 7.1-foot dump clearance at maximum raise and operates with a hydrostatic two-speed drive system capable of 11.5 mph forward and reverse speeds. The loader's compact footprint—measuring 13.3 feet in length, 4.2 feet in width, and 7.5 feet in height to cab top—enables efficient operation in confined spaces while maintaining a 9.9-foot turning radius. With an operating weight of 5,840 lbs and static tipping load capacity of 3,794 lbs, it delivers robust performance for construction, landscaping, and agricultural applications. The hydraulic system provides 20.9 gallons per minute pump flow capacity at 5,000 psi relief setting, with a 6.9-gallon fluid capacity. Standard features include multi-function joystick control for lift arm, bucket, and auxiliary hydraulics, tiltable steering column for operator comfort, and 100% electrically switchable differential lock on both axles for superior traction control. The machine accommodates a 15.1-gallon fuel capacity and operates on 12V electrical systems. With optional cab configurations ranging from two-post ROPS to four-post canopy or enclosed cab, the AL 340 adapts to various working conditions while maintaining maneuverability in tight jobsites.
