VOLVO BM 4200B WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo BM 4200B is a compact wheel loader powered by a 4-cylinder BM D 45 B engine delivering 84 net horsepower at 2,200 rpm, with 228.7 lb-ft of torque. The machine features a fully hydraulic brake system and load-sensing hydrostatic steering, with an optional 8-speed transmission available. Equipped with a vane pump hydraulic system providing 42.3 gallons per minute, the loader achieves rapid cycle times: 2.2-second dump, 3.4-second lower, and 5.5-second raise. The bucket generates 10,692 lbs of breakout force and accommodates 1.6 cubic yards heaped capacity with a 7.6-foot width. Operating at 7,600 kg, the machine maintains a 5,200 kg static tipping load and navigates with a 17.3-foot turning radius. The transmission provides 4-forward and 4-reverse gears with power-shift capability, delivering maximum speeds of 26.1 mph in both directions. Standard 15.5R25 tires support the loader's 42 km/h travel capability. Hydraulic fluid capacity totals 33.1 gallons, while fuel capacity reaches 42.3 gallons. The compact dimensions—20 feet length, 7.1 feet width, and 9.7 feet cab height—enable operation in confined spaces, with maximum hinge pin height of 12.2 feet for versatile material handling. Manufactured between 1984-1986, the 4200B remains a reliable mid-sized loader for construction, landscaping, and material handling applications.
