LINK-BELT L130 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Link-Belt L130 is a robust wheel loader engineered for heavy-duty material handling tasks. It features a turbocharged 6-cylinder 6BTA5.9 engine delivering a gross power of 173 hp (129 kW) and net power of 166 hp (124 kW) at 2200 rpm, with peak torque measured at 1500 rpm. The machine’s hydraulic system includes a variable displacement pump with a flow capacity of 55 gal/min (208 l/min) and operates at a relief valve setting of 4060 psi, enabling swift bucket actions with a dump time of 2.2 seconds, lower time of 3 seconds, and raise time of 5.5 seconds. The loader's bucket offers a 3.2 cubic yard (2 cubic meter) heaped capacity with a breakout force of 27,876 lbs (12,645 kg), supporting efficient load handling. The machine dimensions include a length of 24.6 ft (7 m) with the bucket on the ground, a width over tires of 8.4 ft (2 m), and a height to the cab’s top of 11.2 ft (3 m). Its wheelbase spans 10.9 ft (3 m), with ground clearance of 1.5 ft (0.46 m), and maximum hinge pin height of 13 ft (4 m). Operating weight is 30,305 lbs (13,746 kg) with a static tipping weight of 23,283 lbs (10,561 kg). The L130 utilizes 20.5 R25 tires and offers a turning radius of 19.9 ft (6 m). Transmission is power shift type with 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing maximum speeds of 21.7 mph (35 kph) forward and 14.9 mph (23 kph) reverse. Fuel capacity is 52.9 gallons (197 l), supported by a 24 V electrical system with a 70 A alternator output. Additional fluid capacities include 42.3 gallons (159 l) for hydraulics and 4 to 4.8 gallons (15 l) for engine and transmission fluids. Rear axle oscillation is 25° to accommodate uneven terrain. This combination of power, capacity, and hydraulic efficiency renders the L130 highly capable for construction and industrial loader applications.
