Technical Description

The Volvo L45H is a compact wheel loader powered by a turbocharged Volvo D4J engine delivering 100 hp (75 kW) gross power and 307 lb-ft (416 Nm) max torque at 1450 rpm. It features a 4-cylinder displacement of 244.1 cu in (4.0 L). The loader has an operating weight of 19,334 lbs (8,770 kg) with a hydraulic bucket breakout force of 15,961 lbs (7,240 kg), rated bucket capacity between 1.8 to 2.6 cubic yards (1.4 to 2 m³), and a max transport speed of 18.7 mph (29 kph). The articulated steering system allows a 40° articulation angle with a maximum flow of 18.5 gal/min at 17.5 MPa pressure. Key dimensions include a length of 20.9 ft (6 m) with bucket on the ground, a 7.1 ft (2 m) width over tires, 9.7 ft (3 m) height to top of cab, 8.7 ft (2.7 m) wheelbase, and 12.1 ft (4 m) max hinge pin height. Rear axle oscillates 12°, and ground clearance is 1.3 ft (0.4 m). The hydraulic system runs at 26 MPa with a pump flow capacity of 34.9 gal/min, enabling fast cycle times: lift (4.8 sec), lower (3.2 sec), and dump (1.5 sec). Fuel capacity is 39.7 gal (148 L), engine oil 3.7 gal (11 L), cooling fluid 5.3 gal (19 L), and hydraulic fluid 25.1 gal (95 L). Electrical system includes two 100 Ah batteries, a 3080 W alternator, and a 7.4 hp starter motor at 24 V. The transmission fluid capacity is 0.4 gal.
