VOLVO L90H WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Volvo L90H is a high-performance wheel loader engineered for versatility and efficiency in demanding applications. Powered by the turbocharged Volvo D6J six-cylinder engine, it delivers 184 hp at 1900 rpm and 934 Nm of torque at 1400 rpm, ensuring robust power and optimal fuel efficiency. The drivetrain features the Volvo HTE 125C transmission with lock-up and non-lock-up torque converters and a stall ratio of 2.5:1 to 2.59:1, enabling a top transport speed of 28.5 mph (45 kph). Its axles—Volvo AWB 25 front and AWB 20 rear—allow 13° rear axle oscillation, enhancing stability on uneven terrain. The loader’s hydraulic system operates at pressures of up to 31 MPa, with two pumps delivering up to 15.9 gal/min flow, resulting in quick cycle times: 5.4 sec lift, 3.2 sec lower, and 1.9 sec tilt, totaling 10.5 sec per cycle. The bucket breakout force measures 31,203 lbs (14,154 kg), with a dump clearance at max raise of 9.3 ft (3 m), a hinge pin height of 13.3 ft (4 m), and bucket capacities ranging from 2.7 to 9.2 cubic yards. Key dimensions include a wheelbase of 10.1 ft (3 m), overall length of 24.9 ft (7 m), width over tires of 8.2 ft (2 m), and cab height of 10.8 ft (3 m). The articulated steering offers a 40° angle and dual 3.2-inch bore cylinders supporting responsive maneuverability. Operating weight is approximately 32,220 lbs (14,615 kg). The machine’s fuel capacity is 58.7 gallons, with additional capacities for hydraulic (23.8 gal) and engine oil (5.3 gal), supporting long operational cycles. Electrical components include a 24V system with dual 110 Ah batteries and a 7.4 hp starter. This combination of features ensures the Volvo L90H delivers high productivity, fuel efficiency, and stability across a variety of heavy-duty loading tasks.
