VOLVO BM LM422 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo BM LM422 is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatile material handling applications in construction, agriculture, and industrial settings. Powered by a direct-injection 3-cylinder diesel engine producing 47 gross horsepower at 2,250 rpm, this lightweight machine delivers responsive performance with a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission offering equal forward and reverse capability, reaching maximum speeds of 17.2 mph in both directions. The loader features a heaped bucket capacity of 2.4 cubic yards with a struck capacity of 0.7 cubic yards, providing practical loading capability for general-purpose tasks. At full lift, the bucket achieves a maximum hinge pin height of 11.5 feet with a dump clearance of 9.2 feet, and a reach of 3 feet at maximum lift and dump. The machine's compact footprint—featuring a 13.8-foot turning radius, 6.9-foot wheelbase, and 6.8-foot width over tires—makes it exceptionally maneuverable in confined spaces such as building sites, factory yards, and busy urban environments. Operating at 10,140 pounds with a static tipping weight of 3,970 pounds, the LM422 is the smallest in the BM-Volvo loader range. The loader is equipped with front 13-28 and rear 7.50-18 10-ply tires designed for superior off-road traction and difficult ground conditions. Its hydraulic system operates at low working pressure, ensuring extended service life, minimal breakdowns, and reduced maintenance costs while maintaining reliable performance.
