L32B Volvo L32B Specifications & Technical Data (2001—2004)

Braking System

Service brake: reliable dual braking system, acting upon all four wheels. Wear-free, hydrostatic inching brake. Central friction brake, actuated via inch/brake pedal. The first stage of pedal application actuates the inching facility, while the last third of pedal application applies the central friction brake. Parking brake: central drum brake, acting upon all four wheels.

Drivetrain

Transmission: hydrostatic transmission, full power shift under load, both when changing direction (forward and reverse) and between ranges. Maximum drawbar force can be achieved in all ranges. Inch/brake pedal for variable machine speed control and power transfer to bucket hydraulics at constant engine rpm. Multi-function lever for change of direction, differential lock, and use of the servo-control. Axles: all-wheel drive by two rigid portal axles. Differential locks: hydraulically actuated 100% differential locks in both axles. Frame: solid front and rear frame, robot-welded. Articulating oscillating joint for optimum manoeuvrability and traction.

Hydraulic System

Thermostatically controlled oil circuit with integrated cooling system. Hydraulic control valve: Servo-controlled, double acting control valve three spool system, with primary and secondary pressure valves. Lifting function. Tilting function. Additional function for hydraulic QC Unlock, neutral, lock. Preparation for operating hydraulic attachments with this function is available as an option. Hydraulic oil filter: Combined suction and return-filtration cartridge with a 10 μm filter. The filter can be replaced without emptying the hydraulic oil tank. Hydraulic pump: gear type-pump. Hydraulic pump Flow 52 l/min @ engine rpm 2300 r/min. Relief valve pressure 23 MPa.

Steering

Hydrostatic steering. Central articulating-oscillating joint with damping effect. Steering pump: gear-type pump. Steering cylinder: 1 double-acting steering cylinder. Steering Angle of articulation ±40°. Steering pump Flow 25 l/min @ engine rpm 2300 r/min. Relief valve pressure 18.5 MPa.

Optional Equipment

Engine Pre-heater. Hydraulics: Additional hydraulics for 3rd hydraulic circuit, 4th hydraulic circuit, Additional pump. Cab: Handthrottle, Hand control inch valve. Airconditioner, Radio. Working Equipment: Boom arm suspension system. Environment: Initial filling of biodegradable hydraulic oil. Safety: Anti-theft system, Protective guards for: Main head lights, Working lights, Rear lights, Rotating beacon, Audible reverse alarm.
