2006-2012 VOLVO BM L50B WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo BM L50B is a hydrostatic wheel loader designed for efficiency and durability in medium-duty construction and material handling. It features a 2 cubic yard heaped bucket with a breakout force of 13,620 lbs (6,178 kg), and a bucket width of approximately 7.6 ft (2 m), allowing effective volume handling and solid digging performance. The loader's dump clearance at maximum raise reaches 9.1 ft (3 m), with a hinge pin height of 12.2 ft (4 m), supporting versatile loading heights. The machine measures 21 ft (6 m) in length with the bucket on the ground and has a wheelbase of 9.1 ft (3 m), contributing to its maneuverability and stability. Powered by a Volvo TD 40GA 4-cylinder diesel engine, the L50B delivers a net power output of 68 hp (51 kW) at 2200 rpm, with peak torque at 1400 rpm. The hydraulic system is a load sensing, pressure compensated type with a pump flow capacity of 31.8 gal/min (117 l/min), relief valve setting at 3771 psi, and cycle times including a 4.4-second raise time and 1.3-second dump time for operational efficiency. The operating weight is approximately 17,858 lbs (8,100 kg), with a static tipping load of 10,803 lbs (4,900 kg). It rides on 15.5R25 tires and features 24° rear axle oscillation for enhanced traction and terrain adaptability. The loader operates on 24 V electrical voltage, has a fuel capacity of 45 gallons (170 liters), and a hydraulic fluid capacity of 28.1 gallons (106 liters). Maximum travel speed is 22.7 mph (35 kph) forward and reverse, with two-speed hydrostatic transmission gears for smooth control.
