Volvo L30 Compact Wheel Loader

Reliable Compact Wheel Loader for Professional Applications

The Volvo L30 Compact Wheel Loader is a versatile machine designed for construction, agriculture, landscaping, infrastructure, and material-handling applications. First launched in 1998, the L30 has built a strong reputation for reliable performance, excellent ground clearance, compact dimensions, and easy operation.

With a 55.4 kW Volvo D3.3H engine and an operating weight of 5,750 kg, the L30 provides the power and stability needed for demanding daily work while remaining compact enough for tight job sites.

Powerful Volvo D3.3H Engine

The Volvo L30 is powered by a D3.3H engine that delivers 55.4 kW of gross power. This engine provides dependable performance for loading, lifting, transporting, and handling materials.

The engine is well matched to the compact design of the L30, helping operators achieve productive performance without requiring a larger machine for everyday jobs.

1 m³ Bucket Capacity

The L30 is equipped with a 1 m³ bucket capacity, making it suitable for handling common materials such as soil, sand, gravel, aggregate, and construction debris.

Its bucket size offers a practical balance between loading capacity and maneuverability, making the machine useful in both open areas and restricted workspaces.

Excellent Ground Clearance

One of the main strengths of the Volvo L30 is its class-leading ground clearance. This allows the machine to operate effectively on uneven terrain and challenging surfaces.

High ground clearance is particularly useful for construction sites, landscaping projects, farms, gravel roads, and other applications where obstacles and uneven ground can make machine operation difficult.

Compact Design for Tight Spaces

The Volvo L30 combines strong performance with compact dimensions. This makes it easier to maneuver around buildings, narrow work areas, storage yards, and busy construction sites.

Its compact design allows operators to complete loading and material-handling tasks in locations where larger wheel loaders may have limited access.

Strong Breakout Force

The L30 provides a 61 kN breakout force, giving the bucket the power needed to penetrate and lift different types of material.

This strong breakout performance helps the machine handle piles of aggregate, compacted soil, gravel, and other materials efficiently.

Hydraulic Lifting Performance

The Volvo L30 delivers a maximum hydraulic lifting capacity of 57 kN. This provides dependable lifting performance for everyday loading and material-handling operations.

The hydraulic system also supports the machine’s versatility by allowing it to work with different attachments and perform more than basic bucket operations.

High Tipping Load

The L30 has a tipping load of 4,700 kg under the specified test conditions. At a full turn of 40 degrees, the machine provides the stability and lifting capability required for common loading tasks.

This capacity makes the L30 suitable for moving materials efficiently while maintaining good control during operation.

Fork Payload of 2,400 kg

The Volvo L30 can also be used for fork applications. Its fork payload at 80% is 2,400 kg, allowing it to handle pallets, construction materials, agricultural products, and other loads.

This makes the L30 a flexible machine for businesses that need one compact loader for both bucket and fork operations.

Operating Weight and Stability

With an operating weight of 5,750 kg, the L30 provides a stable platform for loading and lifting work. Its weight is combined with a compact structure that helps the machine remain maneuverable on demanding job sites.

This combination makes the L30 suitable for contractors and operators who need dependable performance without the size of a full-scale wheel loader.

Travel Speed Up to 30 km/h

The standard maximum travel speed of the Volvo L30 is 20 km/h. The high-speed configuration can reach up to 30 km/h.

The higher travel speed helps reduce movement time between work areas, especially when the loader needs to travel frequently across a larger site.

Designed for Uneven Terrain

The Volvo L30 is particularly well suited to uneven terrain and challenging ground conditions. Its excellent ground clearance allows it to work over surfaces that may be difficult for conventional compact loaders.

This makes the machine useful for landscaping, agriculture, construction, road maintenance, and general site preparation.

Comfortable Operator Environment

Volvo designed the L30 with operator visibility, comfort, and control in mind. Good visibility helps operators monitor the bucket, attachments, surrounding work area, and material being handled.

An operator-friendly cab can also support more comfortable working conditions during long shifts, helping maintain productivity throughout the day.

Easy Operation and Flexible Performance

The L30 is built around three important qualities: flexibility, speed, and ease of operation. Its compact design, hydraulic performance, travel speed, and attachment options allow it to handle different tasks without requiring multiple machines.

Operators can use the loader for loading materials, transporting products, handling pallets, and general site work.

Suitable for Multiple Applications

The Volvo L30 Compact Wheel Loader can be used across several industries, including:

• Construction and building projects
• Agriculture and farming
• Landscaping
• Road and infrastructure maintenance
• Material handling
• Site preparation
• Aggregate handling
• Industrial applications
• General loading and transportation

Its compact size and strong ground clearance make it especially useful for projects with limited space or uneven surfaces.

General Purpose Bucket Configuration

The listed configuration is based on an L30H with cabin, 365/80 R20 tires, and a 1.1 m³ general-purpose bucket.

This configuration provides a practical setup for general loading and material-handling work while maintaining the maneuverability expected from a compact wheel loader.
