Volvo LM422 overview

Volvo LM422 features overview

BM-VOLVO Loaders Overview

The BM-VOLVO range of loaders has been progressively developed to meet changing requirements and now comprises five machines: LM 422, LM 218, LM 620, LM 640 and LM 840. The LM 640 and LM 840 feature 4-wheel drive. This range of models simplifies the choice of the right machine for the job. While each model has its special field of application, all share with the well-established LM 218 a high degree of versatility. They can all be equipped with a wide variety of attachments in the BM-VOLVO series and as a result each machine covers a wider range of jobs than any other make of comparable price and size. The careful selection of sizes for front and rear wheels has given a very tight turning circle in every case, which further enhances the output of the machines. The unusually large driving wheels also confer very good off-the-road performance and manoeuvring under difficult ground conditions.


LM 640 Features

The LM 640 has the same hydraulic transmission as the LM 620 and, moreover, 4-wheel drive and larger tyres. Therefore, the LM 640 is an extremely reliable worker where ground conditions are difficult. Despite 4-wheel drive, the turning circle remains small, as on all BM-VOLVO loaders. The LM 640 embodies determination – and ability – to get the job done.


LM 840 Features

The LM 840 is designed for the big jobs: it has the same hydraulic transmission and 4-wheel drive system as the LM 640, but even greater power resources. With long reach, high lift, a tight turning circle, and a wide range of transmission ratios, the machine's potential can be realized to the full. Work-cycles are shortened, and therefore output per unit time is raised, thanks to speediness (resulting from high power-to-weight ratio), small turning circle, and powerful penetration of hard materials.


Engine / Powertrain / Drivetrain

LM 620 Features

The LM 620 features hydraulic transmission, comprising a torque converter and a hydraulically operated gearbox. The torque converter automatically increases engine torque as resistance rises and therefore gives high penetrating force in hard materials, filling the scoop to capacity with a maximum of effort. The full utilization of the power potential of the LM 620 results in a very low cost per unit of output.
