2005-2008 MICHIGAN L50B WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Michigan L50B is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatile material handling applications. Powered by a Volvo VME TD 40GA turbocharged four-cylinder engine, it delivers 91 net horsepower and 273 foot-pounds of torque at 1,400 rpm, with gross power rated at 96 hp. The machine features a load-sensing axial piston hydraulic pump system with 8.4 gallons per minute capacity and 3,771 psi relief setting, enabling responsive bucket control with 4.4-second raise and 1.1-second dump cycles. The L50B accommodates bucket capacities from 1.5 to 2 cubic yards struck and heaped respectively, with a maximum breakout force of 13,623 pounds. Its compact footprint measures 21 feet in length with bucket on ground, 7.1 feet width, and 9.9 feet height to cab top, supported by a 9.1-foot wheelbase. The loader achieves maximum lift height of 11.7 feet with 3-meter dump clearance and maintains a 17.8-foot turning radius for maneuverable operation in confined spaces. Weighing approximately 8.1 to 9 tons, the L50B combines efficiency with payload capability, producing static tipping loads of 4,900 pounds with bucket and 6,620 pounds with forks. The transmission utilizes a VME power-shift system capable of 22.6 mph forward and reverse speeds. Operating on standard 15.5R25 tires with 12-degree rear axle oscillation, the loader maintains 1.3 feet ground clearance. With 45-gallon fuel capacity and 24V electrical system rated at 60 amperes, this integrated tool carrier platform serves sawmills, construction sites, and agricultural operations requiring dependable material handling performance.
