2015-2023 VOLVO L90C WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo L90C wheel loader is a robust construction machine designed for heavy-duty lifting and loading applications. It features a turbocharged six-cylinder TD 63 KBE diesel engine with a displacement of 334 cu in, delivering a net power output of 154 hp at 2100 rpm and peak torque at 1100 rpm. The machine's operating weight is approximately 35,494 lbs (16,100 kg), providing stability during operation. Its bucket has a heaped capacity of 4.6 cubic yards (3 m³), a width of 8.7 ft (2 m), and a breakout force of 24,650 lbs (11,181 kg), enabling efficient material handling. The loader's maximum dump clearance at full raise is 9.3 ft (3 m), with a reach of 3.7 ft (1 m). Dimensionally, the L90C measures 24.7 ft (7 m) in length with the bucket on the ground, 8.2 ft (2 m) wide over tires, and 10.8 ft (3 m) high to the top of the cab. The wheelbase spans 9.9 ft (3 m), and ground clearance is 1.4 ft (0 m). It is equipped with 20.5R25 L2 tires and offers a turning radius of 19.8 ft (6 m). Its powershift transmission includes 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, achieving maximum speeds of 23.8 mph forward and 17.3 mph in reverse. The hydraulic system uses a vane pump with a flow capacity of 53 gal/min (201 l/min) and features a relief valve setting at 3263 psi. Cycle times include 5.5 seconds to raise, 1.9 seconds to dump, and 2.3 seconds to lower the bucket. The machine operates on a 24-volt electrical system with a 60A alternator. Fluid capacities include 55.5 gal (208 l) fuel, 34.4 gal (129 l) hydraulic oil, and 14.1 gal (53 l) coolant. Rear axle oscillation is 30°, improving stability on uneven terrain. The L90C includes a wet disc, fully hydraulic brake system with internal circulation cooling and the Contronic monitoring system for operational reliability and ease of maintenance.
