The Volvo BM 854 is a rigid 4-wheel drive wheel loader featuring rear wheel steering, designed for medium-duty earthmoving and material handling. It is equipped with a Volvo D 70 A six-cylinder engine delivering 157 hp (117 kW) at 2400 rpm and peak torque at 1200 rpm, providing robust power for demanding tasks. The machine has an operating weight of approximately 22,487 lbs (10,200 kg) and a static tipping load of around 13,228 lbs (6,000 kg), ensuring stability during operation. Its bucket has a heaped capacity of 2.3 cubic yards (about 2 m³) and a width of 7.9 feet (2 m), enabling efficient material handling. Key dimensional specs include a ground clearance of 1.2 feet (0.36 m), overall height to the top of the cab of 9.2 feet (2.8 m), and a wheelbase of 7.7 feet (2.35 m). The machine achieves a dump clearance of 8.8 feet (2.7 m) and a hinge pin height of 11.4 feet (3.5 m), supporting high dump operations. The bucket reach at maximum lift and dump is about 3.1 feet (1 m). The hydraulic system features a pump flow capacity of 52.9 gallons per minute (197 l/min), with a bucket raise time of 7 seconds and lower time of 5 seconds, controlled by a relief valve set at 1990 psi. Transmission is a power-shift type with three forward and three reverse speeds, and maximum travel speeds of 26.1 mph (42 kph) both forward and reverse. It rides on 16x24/12 tires, suitable for diverse terrains and conditions. This comprehensive combination of power, capacity, and maneuverability reflects the Volvo BM 854's capability as a reliable and efficient wheel loader for construction and industrial applications.
