VOLVO L330C WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo L330C is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for demanding load-and-carry, construction, and earthmoving applications. Powered by a Volvo TD 164 KAE turbocharged and intercooled six-cylinder diesel engine displacing 16.1 liters, it delivers 503 gross horsepower and 498 net horsepower at 1800 rpm, with maximum torque at 1000 rpm. The machine features an Automatic Power Shift (APS II) transmission with four forward and three reverse gears, achieving maximum speeds of 21.3 mph forward and 12.4 mph reverse. The load-sensing hydraulic system employs four axial piston pumps with 196 gallons-per-minute flow capacity and a 3118 psi relief valve setting, enabling rapid cycle times: 1.8 seconds dump, 4.5 seconds lower, and 8.5 seconds raise. The Z-bar linkage bucket offers 105,120 lbs breakout force with a 7-cubic-meter struck capacity and 13-foot width, capable of 12-foot dump clearance at maximum raise height. Operating at a gross weight of 106,770 lbs with a 77,669 lbs static tipping weight, the L330C spans 33 feet in length with a 29.7-foot turning radius and 24-degree rear axle oscillation for rough-terrain capability. The machine's rugged construction includes fully floating axle shafts with planetary hub reductions, limited-slip differentials, wet disc brakes with forced oil circulation cooling, and 35/65R33 tires mounted on a 13.4-foot wheelbase and 12-foot width over tires. Total fluid capacities include 183.1 gallons fuel, 145.9 gallons hydraulic fluid, and 24-volt electrical system with 80-amp alternator output.
