Smarter Loading for Higher Profitability

A Volvo wheel loader is more than a machine; it’s a production tool. By integrating Load Assist real-time weighing and optimized transmission systems, we ensure that every bucket cycle is maximized, reducing tire wear and fuel burn.

Technologies like OptiShift, which combines a torque converter with lock-up and the patented Reverse By Braking (RBB) function, can reduce fuel consumption by up to 18% while improving operator comfort.

Exclusive to Volvo, the TP-linkage provides high breakout torque and excellent parallel movement throughout the entire lifting range, ensuring superior bucket fill and stability.

Load Assist is an on-board weighing system accurate to +/- 1%. It prevents truck overloading or underloading, optimizes cycle times, and provides data insights to improve overall site management.

For heavy-duty rock loading, the L260 and L350H are the preferred choices. They are built with reinforced frames and high-capacity buckets to handle the most abrasive materials 24/7.
