Operator comfort has been recognized as a key factor in achieving high machine productivity, and the Volvo Care Cab on the Volvo L45F and Volvo L50F delivers peak of comfort to the operator all day long. Standard air conditioning includes automatic temperature control to suit the operator's demands. Each cab is installed on fully-viscous mounts for reduced noise and vibration. Operators can breathe easy when operating in dusty conditions due to the best-in-class cab filtration system. The interior of each cab is designed for fatigue-resisting ergonomic comfort, ensuring that the steering wheel, steering column, standard air suspension seat, armrest and levers can all be adjusted to perfectly match each operator. Controls and front-pillar mounted switches are all within easy reach and easy view.

Volvo L45F and L50F: Key features
Engines: Both the Volvo L45F and Volvo L50F are powered by Tier 3 certified water-cooled turbo-charged Volvo D5 4.8 liter engines. The Volvo L50F engine also includes an air-to-air intercooler. Both achieve high torque at low engine speeds.
Hydraulics: Fully hydrostatic transmissions allow smooth shifting and direction change under full load, prolonging the life of the brakes. A thermostatically controlled, 3-mode reversible hydraulic fan is available, automatically adjusting to reverse air flow and blow any material or debris out of the radiator.
Frames: To achieve a high load capacity, both models are based on a heavy duty articulating frame concept. The front and rear frames are designed for maximum ground clearance, while high-quality steel throughout provides durability, increased stress resistance and operational stability.
Attachment Brackets: The Volvo L45F and Volvo L50F are offered with optional Z-bar Volvo patented model attachment brackets. Each bracket has been designed to match the machine's Torque Parallel linkage geometry. With attaching points that offer good visibility, both brackets allow for quick and easy changes of attachments. The attachment locking system is performed hydraulically from the comfort and safety of the cab. Offering jobsite flexibility, these brackets work with a wide range of attachments, including current and older generation Volvo attachments.
Rear Axle Oscillation: Rear axle oscillation increases machine stability, while low-maintenance features like a heavy duty planetary axle and sealed, integrated oscillating bearings lubricated with the axle oil increase machine uptime. Inboard wet-disc brakes improve reliability and safety.
The Volvo F-Series Wheel Loaders: The introduction of the new Volvo F-Series loaders began in 2007 with the launching of the Volvo L350F, the largest loader built by Volvo Construction Equipment. It was followed by the other members of the class: the L60F, L70F, L90F, L110F, L120F, L150F, L180F, and the L220F. All are equipped with the Volvo Tier 3-certified engines and are designed and engineered to lower operating costs.
