The Volvo ZL302C is a compact wheel loader designed for efficient material handling in confined spaces. It features a robust Deutz F4M1008F 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated diesel engine delivering 31 hp (23 kW) gross and 30 hp (22 kW) net at 3,000 rpm, with peak torque at 2,000 rpm. The loader has an operating weight of 4,629.8 lbs (2,100 kg) and a heaped bucket capacity of 0.4 cu yds (0.3 m³), with a bucket width of 3.3 ft (1 m). Maximum hinge pin height is 9.6 ft (3 m), and dump clearance at max raise is 7.7 ft (2 m). The machine measures 12.9 ft (4 m) in length with bucket on ground, 7.6 ft (2 m) in height to the top of the cab, and 4.3 ft (1 m) in width over tires, with a 5 ft (2 m) wheelbase and 0.8 ft (0.24 m) ground clearance. The hydrostatic transmission provides a maximum speed of 12.5 mph (19 kph) in both forward and reverse, with a single gear in each direction. The hydraulic system uses a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 8 gal/min (30 l/min), relief valve setting of 3,045.8 psi, and cycle times of 5 sec (raise), 3 sec (lower), and 1.5 sec (dump). The loader is equipped with a 12 V electrical system, 65 A alternator, and 10.1 gal (38 l) fuel tank. Fluid capacities include 1.2 gal (4 l) engine oil, 7.4 gal (27 l) hydraulic fluid, 1.4 gal (4 l) front axle/diff, and 1.6 gal (4 l) rear axle/diff. The tire size is 10.0/75-15.3, and the turning radius is 9.3 ft (3 m).
