Wheel Loader

Heavy-Duty Wheel Loader for Mining and Quarrying

The Volvo L350H Wheel Loader is a high-performance heavy-duty machine designed for demanding applications such as mining, quarrying, aggregate handling, and major infrastructure projects. Built on decades of Volvo wheel loader development, the L350H combines high productivity, powerful hydraulics, operator comfort, and durable construction to handle large material volumes efficiently.

With an operating weight ranging from 50,000 to 56,300 kg, the L350H is engineered for heavy-duty applications where strength, reliability, and productivity are essential. Its robust design helps operators maintain high production rates while supporting a lower total cost of ownership.

Evolution of Volvo Wheel Loader Technology

Volvo has been developing wheel loader technology for decades, with a history that includes the L320 introduced in 1985. The L350H continues this development with upgrades focused on productivity, durability, efficiency, and operator performance.

The machine is designed to provide dependable performance in challenging working environments. Its combination of advanced engineering and heavy-duty components makes it suitable for businesses that require continuous material handling and high machine availability.

Powerful Volvo D16J Engine

The Volvo L350H is powered by the Volvo D16J engine, developed to provide the power required for demanding loading applications. The engine delivers up to 397 kW of net power according to ECE R120 and 395 kW according to ISO 9249 and SAE J1349.

Maximum engine power is available between 1,700 and 1,800 rpm, while maximum torque reaches approximately 2,550 Nm at 1,400 rpm. This strong torque output helps the wheel loader handle heavy loads and demanding working conditions effectively.

Large Bucket Capacity for High Productivity

The L350H supports bucket capacities from 6.2 to 12.7 m³, allowing operators to select a configuration suited to specific materials and applications.

A large bucket enables the machine to move more material with each loading cycle. This can reduce the number of passes required to fill trucks, improve loading efficiency, and increase overall production.

The available bucket configurations make the L350H suitable for different material densities and operating conditions.

Exceptional Breakout Force

The Volvo L350H delivers an impressive 450 kN breakout force, providing the strength needed to penetrate and load demanding materials.

High breakout force is particularly important when working with compacted aggregates, rock, gravel, and other heavy materials. The powerful hydraulic system allows operators to fill the bucket efficiently while maintaining smooth and controlled movements.

This capability helps improve cycle times and overall productivity.

High Static Tipping Load

The L350H provides a static tipping load at full turn of 34,700 kg, demonstrating its ability to handle substantial loads while maintaining stability.

A high tipping load is essential for heavy-duty loading operations because it allows the machine to work confidently when carrying large amounts of material. The loader’s robust chassis and balanced design support stable operation throughout demanding loading cycles.

Designed for Mining and Quarrying

The Volvo L350H is particularly well suited to mining and quarrying applications where large quantities of material must be moved continuously.

It can be used for loading aggregates, crushed rock, minerals, and other bulk materials into haul trucks or processing equipment. Its large bucket capacity, high breakout force, and powerful engine make it capable of supporting demanding production environments.

Heavy Infrastructure Applications

In addition to mining and quarrying, the L350H is suitable for major infrastructure projects. Its high capacity makes it useful for road construction, large-scale earthmoving, aggregate handling, and other projects requiring heavy material movement.

The machine can help contractors move large volumes of material efficiently while maintaining reliable performance throughout long working shifts.

Durable Design for Demanding Conditions

The L350H is built for demanding environments where equipment must withstand heavy loads and continuous operation. Its robust construction is designed to support long-term durability while helping reduce unnecessary downtime.

For businesses operating large fleets, reliable equipment availability is critical. The L350H is designed to deliver consistent performance and support productive working cycles.

Efficient Material Handling

The combination of powerful hydraulics, large bucket capacity, and high engine output allows the Volvo L350H to perform material-handling tasks efficiently.

Operators can load, carry, and dump large quantities of material during each work cycle. Efficient loading helps reduce unnecessary machine movement and can contribute to lower operating costs over the machine’s working life.

Operator-Focused Performance

Productivity depends not only on machine power but also on operator performance. The L350H is designed as a professional wheel loader for demanding work environments, providing the control and performance required during repetitive loading cycles.

Smooth machine operation can help operators maintain accurate bucket positioning and efficient loading patterns throughout the working day.

Wheel Loader Built for High Production

The Volvo L350H is designed for companies that require high production capacity. Its combination of a 6.2–12.7 m³ bucket, 450 kN breakout force, and up to 397 kW net engine power makes it a strong choice for large-scale material-handling operations.

Its heavy-duty configuration allows it to handle workloads that would be unsuitable for smaller wheel loaders.

Tire Options for Different Applications

The L350H can be equipped with 35/65 R33 or 875/65 R33 tires, depending on machine configuration and application requirements.

Choosing the appropriate tire configuration can help optimize traction, stability, and machine performance for specific operating environments. Tire selection should be based on the working surface, material, and operating conditions.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Volvo designed the L350H with productivity and operating efficiency in mind. High production capacity means more material can be moved during each working cycle, while the durable construction helps support long-term machine availability.

For mining, quarrying, and infrastructure companies, these factors can contribute to improved productivity and a lower total cost of ownership.
