Volvo L120 Wheel Loader

The Volvo L120 is a seriously robust mid-sized wheel loader. It’s built for pushing out serious volume on any given material-handling, loading or general earthmoving job. At its core it’s got Volvo’s tried and trusted load-sensing hydraulics which deliver a strong bucket fill and some of the smoothest material flow you’ll find anywhere. Add to that a power-train built to last through the toughest site conditions and you’ve got a machine that will keep on trucking.

At the heart of this beast is a pretty formidable 203 kW six-cylinder Volvo D8 engine, paired with a handy automatic Power Shift transmission and matched axles for unbeatable breakout force – we’re talking around 154 kN here – and some seriously fast cycle times. Put it all together and it adds up to some seriously impressive bucket loading and truck-filling capability.

Weighing in at around 19,400-20,300 kg and often fitted with a 3.8 m³ (heaped) bucket this machine is built for putting out big numbers when it comes to mid-to-large size tasks. And with articulated steering, rear-axle oscillation and the option to add a ride-control system it’s got all the stability and comfort you need on uneven terrain or when maneuvering during material handling.

Inside the cab, operator comfort is top of mind. It’s got some seriously ergonomic controls, great all round visibility, climate control and service-friendly access – so you can get in and get out with minimal fuss. Maintenance points have been designed with downtime in mind – to make it as easy as possible to keep your machine running smoothly even after long hours of operation.

So in a nutshell – the Volvo L120 is a seriously powerful, efficient and durable wheel-loader that delivers some of the best digging/storage capability out there – all wrapped up in some super productive hydraulics, operator comfort and a low cost-of-ownership. Which makes it a pretty reliable choice for contractors – especially those handling demanding loading and material handling operations.
