Volvo Construction Equipment
The new Volvo L150G has a breakout force of 45,187 pounds and a bucket capacity of 5.2 cubic yards. These forces are all generated from Volvo’s new re-handling buckets, specifically designed for easier pile penetration to increase fuel efficiency and performance. The G-Series wheel loader is equipped with a Volvo D13 Tier 4i engine featuring Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology to comply with EPA exhaust emissions legislation. New OptiShift transmission increases fuel efficiency and lowers fuel consumption for the G-Series wheel loaders. The system functions smoothly in a dynamic and powerful unit where all components are matched to work together efficiently. The refined driveline includes a torque converter with lock-up and free wheel stator, as well as the Volvo-patented Reverse by Braking function – providing reduced fuel consumption and increased operator comfort. 825.650.2000, volvo.com
