L45H Volvo L45H Specifications & Technical Data (2019—2026)

Service Access & Maintenance

The service friendly design keeps your routine maintenance quick and efficient with a full access to all main service and maintenance points.

Stability where you need it

A long wheel base, low center of gravity and good weight distribution gives the machine superior stability on rough and uneven terrain.

Strongest center hinge

The center hinge is designed to withstand considerable horizontal and vertical stress. The upper spherical plain bearing and lower fixed plain bearing are widely spaced to spread forces over a greater area for a long bearing life.

Maintenance-free rear axle oscillation

The oscillating rear axle is supported on maintenance-free cradles. Its bearings and bushings are lubricated-for-life and protected by well proven seals, saving you hours of maintenance time and increasing uptime.

Grouped grease points

Grease points are grouped together on the loader arm as well as on the centre hinge for easy and quick maintenance.

Tackle every terrain

Whether working on rough terrain or smooth concrete, Volvo’s L45H and L50H wheel loaders give you top performance. Quality is built into every inch of the machines, from the differential lock that transfers 100% power to all wheels, to the hydrostatic transmission which offers smooth speed increase. Conquer your site with Volvo.

Inch-brake pedal

The inch-brake pedal gives best possible machine control. Appling light pressure on the pedal reduces speed using the transmission, and further pressure engages the wet disc brakes to hold the loader.

Axles and differential locks

While the heavy-duty planetary axles ensure long life in the toughest conditions, the front and rear 100% differential locks features a dog clutch locking capability and a no slip, no wear design to improve grip and ensure maximum traction on all terrain.

Hydrostatic drive

The fuel efficient hydrostatic transmission matches power to requirement. It provides excellent control in delicate work and full power for more demanding jobs.

Optimised driveline

The engine, transmission and axles are all designed to work in perfect harmony with the hydraulics and steering for superb performance, durability and reliability.

Steering

Load-sensing hydrostatic steering system supplied from variable displacement pump. Excellent steering performance is maintained even at low engine speed. At the same time fuel consumption is reduced.

Differential lock front and rear

Select the differential lock to transfer 100% power to all wheels and reduce tire slippage for maximum traction on soft and slippery ground.

Solid, strong and stable

Volvo’s L45H and L50H are compact and well balanced machines whose solid design gives you the strongest performance in the tightest jobsites. Quality is built into every inch of the machines.

Intelligent hydraulic system

Volvo’s load-sensing hydraulic system drives power to the hydraulic functions according to demand, giving you fast response for shorter cycle times while lowering fuel consumption. Ensuring superior load control together with a careful balance between lifting and tractive forces, this powerful system provides highly effective bucket penetration for all types of digging conditions.

Auxiliary hydraulics

The machines can be factory-fitted with extra hydraulic lines to operate and run a variety of hydraulically driven attachments.

Reversible cooling fan

The hydraulically-driven electronically controlled cooling fan regulates the temperature of vital components. It automatically activates only when it’s needed – reducing fuel consumption and noise. The reversible functionality – which blows air in the opposite direction – allows for self-cleaning of the cooling units.

Boom suspension system (BSS)

The optional Boom Suspension System boosts productivity by up to 20% by absorbing shock and reducing the bouncing and bucket spillage that occurs when operating on rough ground. This enables faster and more comfortable work cycles and increases machine life.

Comfort Drive Control (CDC)

The CDC gives the operator the choice to operate the machine by lever control. This improves operator comfort and ensures better productivity over long working hours. It also reduces operator fatigue, which may occur during repetitive work.

Cab

The certified ROPS/FOPS cab features ergonomically placed controls, a superior climate control system, all-around visibility and low internal noise levels.

Your control center

Step into Volvo’s industry-leading cab; your customized control room. Create your perfect working environment by adjusting the seat and steering wheel to fit your needs, then select the easy-to-reach controls. Excellent all-round visibility gives you the best view of your efficient work.

Climate control

Operators remain focused and efficient thanks to Volvo’s climate control system. Select optional Automatic Heat Control (AHC) or Air Conditioning (AC) for the perfect cab temperature.

Air filter

The cab air intake is located high on the machine, where air is cleanest. The easy-to-replace pre-filter separates coarser dust and particles before the air passes through the main filter and finally enters the cab, giving the operator the freshest air.

Quiet and steady

Moulded cab roof and walls keep noise and rubber mounts keep vibration to a minimum, reducing operator fatigue.

Tp linkage

Volvo’s unique Torque Parallel (TP) linkage delivers high breakout torque and excellent parallel movement throughout the entire lifting range.

Attachment range

Volvo’s wide range of durable attachments have been purpose-built to work in perfect harmony with Volvo machines. The attachments are designed as an integrated part of the wheel loader for which they’re intended – with functions and properties perfectly matched to parameters including link-arm geometry and breakout, rim pull and lifting force. Additionally, Volvo’s wide range of high quality attachments are perfectly matched to the machine’s linkage, hydraulics and driveline to increase productivity.

Counterweight design

The sloped design of the counterweight ensures the machine can achieve very high departure angles, while its compact shape improves manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
