VOLVO L45B WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo L45B is a compact wheel loader manufactured from 2005 to 2009, designed for versatile material handling and earthmoving applications. Powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder Volvo D5DCBE2 engine, it delivers 97 gross horsepower and 94 net horsepower at 2,100 rpm, with maximum torque of 332 lb-ft at 1,400 rpm. The machine features a hydrostatic transmission with two forward and reverse gears, providing smooth power delivery with full-power shifting capabilities both directionally and between ranges. Maximum travel speed reaches 12.4 mph in both forward and reverse directions. The L45B's loading capability is emphasized by its 66 kilonewton breakout force and bucket capacity ranging from 1.1 to 2.5 cubic meters, with a standard width of 2.25 meters. The hydraulic system utilizes an axial piston pump delivering 28 gallons per minute at 3,616 psi relief valve setting, enabling rapid cycle times with 6-second raise, 1.5-second dump, and 5-second lower operations. The machine operates at a total weight of 8,400 kilograms with a static tipping load of 5,900 kilograms in full turn configuration. Dimensionally, the L45B measures approximately 6.38 meters in transport length, 3.03 meters in height, with a 2.45-meter wheelbase and 2.25-meter width over 15.5-25 tires. It features 100% differential locks on both front and rear axles for enhanced traction in challenging terrain, articulating oscillating joints for maneuverability, and Volvo's TP linkage system for superior parallel fork loading action and ground clearance.
