Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has announced an upgrade of its L110H and L120H wheel loader models
The two loaders now feature a new Volvo engine that automatically regenerates while in use. The engine also features a new electric pump for priming the fuel system, making the procedure quicker and more convenient than with the former manual pump. New captive fuel filters are also included, that contribute to extending engine service intervals out to 1,000 hours.
Both wheel loaders now feature a new ignition system where the ignition key now activates and powers the machine, with no need to turn on the ground-level Main Switch at the start of every shift, before climbing into the cab. As well as increased convenience, Volvo CE says this removes the risk of the battery running flat overnight because the Main Switch has been left on.
A lockout-tagout feature has also been included that makes it easier to lock the battery disconnect switch in the ‘off’ position – thereby preventing any unwelcome energy release when conducting maintenance work.
