1994-2023 VOLVO L260H WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo L260H is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for demanding mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Powered by a Volvo D13J turbocharged engine, it delivers 414-416 net horsepower and 1,717-1,728 lb-ft of torque, providing robust performance across diverse terrains. The machine features a rated bucket capacity of 5-10 cubic meters with an impressive breakout force of 63,846 lbf, enabling efficient material handling and loading operations. Equipped with a sophisticated three-pump hydraulic system operating at pressures up to 31 MPa, the L260H demonstrates quick cycle times of 7.1 seconds for lifting, 4.1 seconds for lowering, and 13.1 seconds total unloaded. The Volvo HTL310 transmission with a 2.02:1 torque multiplication ratio and 22.7 mph maximum transport speed ensures efficient mobility on job sites. Advanced features include variable axial piston pumps and a dry P-Brake system that reduces drag losses compared to traditional wet multi-disk brakes. Structural dimensions include a 31-foot overall length, 11.8-foot cab height, and 14.9-foot hinge pin height at maximum lift, with a maximum reach of 5.6 feet at full dump height. The machine operates at 33.24 tons and rides on 29.5 R25 tires with a 96.7-gallon fuel capacity supporting extended operational periods. The articulation steering system provides a 37-degree angle with maximum flow of 53.4 gallons per minute, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. Volvo's innovative Co-Pilot 12-inch display with Load Assist technology optimizes load cycles for increased productivity and fuel efficiency in demanding applications.
