Volvo recently introduced the latest generation L20F and L25F compact wheel loaders that offer greater operator comfort and an improved compact design. The new machines have been developed using feedback from operators worldwide. The result is a range that delivers the key requirements of the 50 to 60 horsepower wheel loader class - versatility, compact dimensions, ease of operation and flexibility - for use with a wide range of attachments for many different applications.  

The Volvo L20F and L25F have been specially designed for easy machine operation, a key feature for rental customers.  Everyone from expert operators to those with limited experience can quickly become proficient.  

The machine’s compact size helps give all-around visibility and the ability to work in narrow or confined work sites. Servicing is easy, with quick and convenient access to all the main service points, which are located under the protection of the engine hood. The electric circuit board is also located in a safe, protected and easily-accessible location. An easy-fill, high-capacity 15.8 gallon fuel tank allows for long work cycles.  

The frame concept features an articulating / oscillating joint in the center of the machine between the front and rear frame. This combined with 100 percent operator-selectable differential locks on the front and rear axles as standard, provides each machine with optimal performance, stability and traction when operating on rough terrain.  

If you have any questions on the new machines, contact your local Volvo Rents store.
