The Volvo L50C is a versatile wheel loader designed for efficient material handling, featuring a turbocharged 4-cylinder TD 40 KAE diesel engine with a gross power output of 101 hp (75 kW) at 2200 rpm and net power of 97 hp (72 kW). It delivers high torque of approximately 288 lb-ft (390 Nm) at 1400 rpm, ensuring strong performance during demanding operations. The hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, responsive control with two forward and two reverse gears, enabling maximum travel speeds of up to 24.3 mph (39 km/h). The loader is equipped with a 2 cubic yards (2 m³) heaped bucket, measuring 7.6 ft (2 m) in width, designed for efficient loading with a dump clearance of 9.3 ft (3 m) at max lift and reach of 3.3 ft (1 m). Its robust hydraulic system operates at a relief valve setting of 3771 psi and a pump flow capacity of 31.8 gal/min (117 l/min) using an axial piston pump, delivering fast cycle times with a raise time of 5.4 seconds, dump time of 1.1 seconds, and lower time of 3 seconds. The wheel loader has a compact but sturdy build with an operating weight of approximately 19,842 lbs (9,000 kg), a wheelbase of 9.1 ft (3 m), and width over tires of 7.1 ft (2 m). Ground clearance is 1.3 ft (0.4 m), and the rear axle oscillates up to 24 degrees for enhanced stability on rough terrain. The 15.5 R25 tires and a turning radius of 17.7 ft (5 m) contribute to maneuverability. Its 24 V electrical system is supported by a 60 A alternator. Fuel capacity stands at 45 gallons (170 liters), supporting long operation cycles. The cab height is 10 ft (3 m) with a hinge pin max height of 12.2 ft (4 m), optimized for operator comfort and visibility in construction and material handling applications.
