Wheel loader

The new L250G wheel loader from Volvo Construction Equipment also fills the needs of the mining industry for a machine in the 39 ton (35 tonne) weight category. The L250G is purpose built to be a heavy-duty machine with plenty of power and features larger bucket sizes. In North America specifically, when loading triaxle trucks, a new 9.0 cubic yard rehandling bucket quickly fills the truck in only two passes – two full buckets for one full truck. Intelligent load sensing hydraulics deliver power to hydraulic functions only when needed, without unnecessary oil pumping which burns fuel unnecessarily. The hydraulic pump designs are coupled with the high torque, low rpm engine, and provide full flow at the engine’s optimal working range, eliminating the need to throttle to max rpm for higher flow, drastically saving fuel. Stronger lift and tilt functions are achieved thanks to Volvo variable-flow axial piston pumps, with higher capacities for accurate control of attachment and load. All made by Volvo, the powertrain is designed to work in harmony for optimum performance. Engines, transmissions, drivelines, hydraulics – all are optimized to not only match each other, but to ensure maximum performance and reliability. Volvo’s heavy duty wet brake axles promote long service life, while axle housings absorb all loads from the machine, leaving the axle shafts to transmit torque, reducing stress on propeller and axle shafts.
