2008-2012 MICHIGAN L120 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Michigan L120 is a mid-sized wheel loader powered by a turbocharged Volvo TD71G six-cylinder diesel engine producing 200 gross horsepower and 523.7 lb-ft of torque at 1400 rpm. The machine features a heaped bucket capacity of 4 cubic yards with a breakout force of 28,420 lbs, making it suitable for general material handling and loading applications. Operating at 34,190 lbs, the L120 delivers efficient performance through its Volvo BM HT 131 automatic powershift transmission with four forward and three reverse gears, achieving maximum speeds of 24 mph forward and 16.7 mph reverse. The loader's dimensions provide substantial reach and lift capabilities, with a maximum hook height of 23.92 feet in extended position and a hinge pin height of 13.1 feet. The machine maintains a 10.5-foot wheelbase and 20.5-foot turning radius, enabling maneuverability in confined spaces. Its hydraulic system incorporates a triple vane pump with 51.8 gallons-per-minute flow capacity and 3050 psi relief setting, delivering rapid cycle times of 6.5 seconds for raising, 1.5 seconds for dumping, and 3.1 seconds for lowering. The hydraulic reservoir holds 67.4 gallons, while the fuel tank capacity reaches 56.8 gallons. Equipped with 23.5R25 tires and featuring a 26-degree rear axle oscillation, the L120 was produced from 1986-1992 and assembled in Sweden, the USA, and Iran. This reliable workhorse combines practical capacity with responsive hydraulics, making it a capable choice for quarrying, aggregates processing, and general construction material handling.
