Sweden-based Volvo Construction Equipment, with North American headquarters in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, has upgraded its L110H and L120H midsize wheel loaders to help increase uptime and convenience for operators and technicians. The upgraded wheel loaders:

  • feature a new Volvo D8M 8-liter engine that offers 256 horsepower on the L110H and 272 horsepower on the L120H and automatically regenerates while working
  • feature a new electric pump for priming the fuel system in the new engine, making the process quicker and more convenient than with the former manual pump
  • have a new ignition strategy similar to Volvo articulated haulers, where the ignition key activates and powers the machine with no need to turn on the ground-level main switch at the start of every shift
  • include lockout/tagout, making it easier to lock the battery disconnect switch in the off position and prevent an unwelcome energy release when performing maintenance
  • comes with a new-generation Co-Pilot tablet with a larger, higher-resolution screen that can display load assist applications like onboard weighing, operator coaching and tire pressure monitoring
