VOLVO COMPACT WHEEL LOADER

L30B
Designed for Many Hours of Efficient Work

Powerful and Comfortable
Productivity is one of the key words in the construction business. To
make a successful machine model even more efficient, the L30B is now
available in a special »pro 1000« version. It comes with the same design
features and operator comfort as the standard machine, but is designed
for exceptional performance.

combination of analogue indication changing to another pedal.

A Tailor-made Working Place
When entering the spacious cabin
you will soon discover that special
care has been taken to provide the
operator with a working environment
motivating him for many hours of
precise and efficient work. A well
thought out cab interior with
individually adjustable steering
column and operator’s seat create a
tailor-made working place fitting any
operator.
elements and LED displays keeps
the operator informed about the
operation status of the machine and
warns him audio-visually in case of
emergency. The well protected
membrane keypad serves for the
actuation of certain functions as well
as for the entry and retrieval of
various kinds of information.
Easy to Operate
All pedals, levers and controls are laid
out for ease of operation: Control of
direction and of the hydraulic
functions including the 100%
differential lock are effected via the
multi-function lever. Alternatively,
actuation of directional change is
possible via a separate single lever on
the steering column. The inch brake
pedal allows permanent speed
adjustment and safe braking without
Safe Operation
Great attention has been attached to
safety: The machine is extremely
stable thanks to the reinforced
wrap-around counterweight
functioning as a bumper to protect
the rear section of the machine from
damage. Its cab is designed according
to ROPS/ FOPS safety standards.
The curved front and rear windscreen
and large side windows with only
minimal dividers provide an
unobstructed allround view to the
operating area. The slanted machine
contours also add to this effect
resulting in more safety at work.

Sufficient Storage Room

Operator’s manuals and personal
property can be stowed in the
lockable compartment to the left of
the operator. For added operator
convenience a practical bottle holder
and space for other things is installed
at the back of the operator’s seat on
the right-hand side.

Efficient Heating System

An efficient three-stage heating and
ventilation system with filter and
well-positioned air distribution
provides a pleasant working climate
throughout the cab.

Clearly Arranged Dashboard

The curved dashboard combines
appealing design features with
excellent functionality. All significant
information is located centrally within
the operator’s field of vision. A useful

Customer’s Benefits:
● Increased Operator Comfort:
Spacious, comfortable cab with
ergonomically designed instrumentation
for safe and fatigue-free operation
● Maximum Safety:
Wrap-around counterweight for good
stability. Large panoramic 3D screens
with excellent allround view provide
maximum safety at work.
Good Scores for the Productivity Plus
Extremely Mobile
Quick Working Cycles
With its compact overall dimensions
and all wheel drive via two rigid
axles the L30B »pro 1000« is highly
manoeuvrable even on narrow sites.
Quick working cycles are the result -
one of the basic presuppositions for
increased productivity.
Unbeatable on Difficult Terrain
Like every Volvo compact wheel
loader, the L30B, »pro 1000« too, is
an expert in mobility. Thanks to the
well-positioned wrap around
counterweight and the articulating
oscillating joint it is extremely stable
even on rough terrain. The portal axles
provide a good ground clearance.
100% Differential Lock
The 100 % operator selectable
differential lock, which is standard
on both axles, allows the machine to
be perfectly adjusted to the
respective ground conditions. The
result is optimum traction on
difficult ground, and low ground
pressure on even or delicate surfaces.
A Real Allrounder
Quick Change of Attachments
More than 60 different attachments
are available and can be fitted to the
machine within a few seconds and

When your compact wheel loader application calls for more productivity,
the L30B »pro 1000« is just the right choice for you. It combines compact-
ness and reliable machine function with utmost stability, and yields
over average performance rates.
without the driver having to leave
the comfort of the operator’s cabin.
The Volvo L30B »pro 1000« is
equipped with an hydraulic attach-
ment bracket for ease of switching
between attachments without
interrupting the job in hand.
Increased Performance
Additional Counterweight
The secret of the L30B »pro1000 «’s
increased performance is the
additional counterweight incorporated
into the rear bumper section of the
machine. The such attained plus in
operating weight allows for higher
payloads in pallet work, and
enlarged bucket capacities in loose
material handling - with a
correspondingly positive effect on
profit rates.
Top Lift Height and Reach
The linkage with its specially
designed curved lift arm achieves
important lifting positions and good
Customer’s Benefits:
● Compact Machine Design:
Good mobility due to compactness
results in quick working cycles.
● Utmost Versatility
Hydraulic quick change coupler for
perfect allround versatility in many
applications
reach allowing easy loading of four
axle trucks.
Unrivalled Reach
The design of the parallel loader
linkage also provides an excellent
reach.
Superior Technology
Powerful Components
State of the art technology gives you
the best possible output. A powerful
Diesel engine at the core of the
system supplies the power. The
multi-purpose Z bar linkage ensures
high breakout and lift forces making
the machine highly efficient in
loading and production.
Smooth Working Cycles
The dual circuit hydraulic system
with separate pumps for working
and steering hydraulics ensures total
independence of movements, which
contributes to the smoothness of
working cycles.
● Increased Productivity
More profit due to the benefits of an
increased operating weight.

Easy Maintenance and Top Economy

Service Friendly Like all Volvo machines, the L30B »pro 1000 « has been designed with full
knowledge of the daily requirements on site. In this respect simple
servicing is one of the major points, just as from the economical point
of view: Simple service is the best guarantee for regular maintenance,
which is an absolute must for maintaining an optimum machine
function and a maximum residual value for the future.

Good Accessibility
Great attention has been drawn to
the fact of making the L30B »pro
1000 « as service friendly as possible.
All main components and service
checkpoints are located under the
large, fold-away engine hood and are
transverse mounted for easy access.
Filters and batteries are easily
exchangeable. The tank's filler is
wide enough to make replenishment
possible directly from the fuel can.
Good accessible lubrication points
on the articulating oscillating joint
make greasing a simple task.
Simplified Checking
Daily service checks can be executed
within a very short time. The dip-
stick for the engine oil level is easily
to reach; sight glasses advise on
hydraulic oil levels at a glance;
hydraulic pressure and engine status
can be monitored by warning lights
on the dashboard.
Modular Board Electricity
For easy checking of safety fuses and
relays a complete modular electric
board is centrally mounted and
accessed by opening a separate lid
on the right side of the machine.
the fuel system ensures a long
service life of the high pressure
elements in the engine.
Long Service Intervals
Good news for the service personnel:
They will appreciate that the regular
service intervals are considerable on
the L30B »pro 1000«, which saves
time and money.
A Profitable Investment
More for Your Money
A Volvo Compact Wheel Loader is a
sound investment - for several
reasons. The major one is surely its
good price/ performance ratio. You
will hardly find a machine in this
size class offering a comparable
performance.
Versatility for Maximum Economy
Another economical plus is the fact
that a Volvo compact wheel loader
encompasses several machines in
one. With use of its interchangeable
and numerous attachments you can
convert it to your needs, keeping
downtime to a minimum. No matter
what the task may be, there will
always be a job for your L30B »pro
1000 «.
Competent Supplier Support
What you are getting in addition,
when purchasing a Volvo
construction machine, are the
advantages of the wide spread Volvo
dealer network in the background.
Their concern is to give you every
support you need to do a good job.
