VOLVO MC70C SKID STEER LOADERS

Technical Description

The Volvo MC70C Skid Steer Loader is a robust, radial lift path machine designed for efficiency and visibility, reflected in its operating weight of approximately 6,350 lbs (2,883 kg) and rated operating capacity of 1,550 lbs (703 kg). It is powered by a turbocharged, 3-cylinder Volvo KDI 1903 TCR diesel engine, generating a gross power of 56 hp (42 kW) and a maximum gross torque of 166 lb-ft. The engine has a displacement of 113.5 in³ (1,860 cm³) and is paired with a 26-gallon fuel tank. Hydraulic performance is managed by a standard pump output of 18.5 gpm, with an optional high flow capacity of 26.4 gpm, operating at a system pressure of 230 psi. Key performance metrics include strong breakout forces—approximately 4,000 lbs for bucket curl and 3,900 lbs for lift. Its cycle times are quick, with a lift arm raise time of 3.2 seconds and a curl time of 1.4 seconds. The machine features a single loader arm for enhanced visibility and serviceability, a single-speed maximum travel speed of 12 mph, and a compact wheelbase of 3 ft 6 in.
