T
he Volvo L250H wheel loader is a
high production machine designed
to deliver excellent productivity and
profitability in applications including quar-
ry, mining and heavy infrastructure. Opera-
tors will experience short cycle times, high
breakout force and excellent controllability
with this heavy-duty machine with an oper-
ating weight of 39 940 kg.
Featuring advanced technology and built on
decades of experience, the L250H’s power-
ful Volvo D13J engine producing 291 kW,
provides high performance and low fuel
consumption. During the fully automated
regeneration process, particulate matter
collected in the DPF is burnt off without in-
terrupting performance or productivity for
effortlessly clean operation.
Fuel efficiency is enhanced by Volvo’s Opti-
Shift technology, which combines the com-
pany’s patented Reverse By Braking (RBB)
technology and a torque converter with lock-
up to eliminate power losses and reduce
fuel consumption by up to 18%. Automatic
Power Shift (APS) and Fully Automatic Power
Shift (FAPS) further ensure minimal fuel con-
sumption and fast cycle times, shifting the
machine gears in line with engine and trav-
el speed for optimal operation. Meanwhile
Volvo’s eco pedal encourages the operator
to ease off the throttle, therefore lowering
fuel consumption, by applying a mechanical
push-back force when the throttle is used
excessively and the engine rpm is about
to exceed the economic operating range.
Intelligent load-sensing hydraulics supply
power to the hydraulic functions only when
required for smooth, fuel-efficient operation,
as well as excellent control over the load and
attachment.
The Volvo L250H is not only one of the most
efficient heavy-duty wheel loaders on the
market but also one of the most productive.
Volvo’s proven Z-bar linkage provides high
breakout force of 336 kN for strong, power-
ful digging in hard materials and facilitates
quick load cycles for increased productivity
even in demanding applications. The op-
tional Boom Suspension System (BSS) fur-
ther boosts productivity, by up to 20%, by
absorbing shock and reducing the bouncing
and bucket spillage that occurs when oper-
ating on rough ground. This enables faster
and more comfortable work cycles and in-
creases machine life. As for the optimal-
ly-shaped bucket, it has been designed to
incorporate a spill guard, side cutters and
wear plate for faster and more efficient
bucket fill and longer service life.
A specially designed 9.0 cubic yard rehan-
dling bucket gives faster and more efficient
bucket fill – and up to 10 percent better fuel
efficiency.
With a variety of product options, Volvo cus-
tomers can adapt their machine to access
more applications, such as rock and waste
handling. Attachments are purpose-built to
work in harmony with the L250H. Functions
and properties are ideally matched to pa-
rameters, such as link-arm geometry and
breakout, rim pull and lifting force for maxi-
mum productivity.
