The Volvo L40 is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatile construction and material handling tasks. Powered by a turbocharged Deutz BF4M 1013 engine, it delivers a gross power of 94 hp (70 kW) and net power of 86 hp (64 kW) at 2100 rpm, with maximum torque of 380 Nm at 1400 rpm across four cylinders. The hydrostatic transmission provides smooth operation with three forward and three reverse gears, enabling a top speed of 21.8 mph (35 km/h) in both directions. Its robust hydraulic system includes an axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 28.1 gallons per minute (106 L/min), enabling a bucket raising time of 6 seconds and dump time of 1.5 seconds, with a relief valve pressure set at 3045.8 psi. The loader has a heaped bucket capacity of 1.9 cubic yards (1.45 m³) and a bucket width of 7.4 feet (2 m). It features a dump clearance at maximum raise of 9 feet (3 m) and a reach at max lift and dump of 2.7 feet (0.8 m). The machine’s dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.4 feet (0.43 m), a height to the top of the cab of 9.7 feet (2.9 m), a wheelbase of 7.9 feet (2.4 m), and an overall length of 19 feet (5.8 m) with the bucket on the ground. With a tire size of 15.5-25, the L40 has a turning radius of 15.7 feet (4.8 m). This model operates on a 12V electrical system and has a fuel capacity of 34.4 gallons (130 L). Operating weight is approximately 15,984 lbs (7,250 kg), with a static tipping weight of 11,464 lbs (5,200 kg). The rear axle features 20° oscillation for improved ground adaptation, and fluid capacities include 3.2 gallons (12 L) engine oil and 29.1 gallons (110 L) in the hydraulic system. The Volvo L40 provides a balanced combination of power, maneuverability, and hydraulic efficiency for demanding loading applications.
