The latest generation Volvo L20F and L25F compact wheel loaders from Volvo, shown last week at World of Concrete, are designed for more operator comfort and improved compact design. The machines were developed incorporating feedback from operators around the world.
The frame concept features an articulating/oscillating joint in the center of the machine between the front and rear frame. This, combined with 100 percent operator-selectable differential locks on the front and rear axles as standard, provides optimal stability and traction on rough terrain.
The air- and oil-cooled Volvo diesel engine complies with EPA Tier-3 standards. Separate working hydraulic pumps improve cycle times because steering actions do not affect the speed of the lifting arm. A centrally located dashboard is more easily viewed by the operator. Entry and exit for the ROPS/FOPS-certified cab is improved with three points of contact.
