Increased interior space, cabventilation through 13 vents and an AC option provide an operator-friendly environment. Excellentall-around visibility has been enhanced with more glass surface, narrow pillars and a sloping hood.Personal cab storageLots of personal storage space optionsinclude 2 lockable compartments, one ofwhich is cooled if machine is equipped withAC. Also 5 storage trays, a net pocket, roofshelves, cup holders and a phone holder.Adjustable steering columnThe optional Deluxe Cab features a steeringwheel with both height and extensionadjustments.Cab dome lightWhen opening the left hand side cab door, theentrance is illuminated by a large, automaticdome light, providing safe entry and exit.Seat turningThe cab features more room around the seat,making turning and position change fromloader to excavator quicker and easier. Morelegroom around the controls.Work lightsWork lights mounted as standard on the roofof the cab are highly adjustable, enabling thecomplete illumination of the worksite.5

GENUINE VOLVO LOADER.Go to work with the front loader. Pilot joysticks and front mechanical controls enable easy control andmanipulation of the bucket and other front attachments. Smooth steering with a small turning radiusprovides excellent maneuverability on the jobsite.Loader pilot/mechanical controlsThe BL71B features a single-handed, multifunctional pilot-controlledloader joystick. Joystick with additional features includes machinedirection, auto kick-down and transmission declutch.The BL61B features a mechanically-controlled levers. A second,separate lever is used to control a multi-purpose bucket (if installed).Both levers are designed for one hand manipulation.Differential lock/rear fender designThe differential lock, engaged via foot switch, operates on the rear axle,providing maximum rear wheel grip on slippery ground.Newly-designed rear fenders limit mud/debris projections on the cabwindows. Rear fenders house a lockable storage for the washer bottleand the cab ventilation filter box.Turning radiusOffers excellent maneuverability and positioning with a steering angle of55° using both 18" and 20" tyres.6

Loader performanceLoader performance with high breakout forces isdelivered through a very durable loader linkage andpowerful hydraulics. Precisely tuned controls enable efficient andproductive loading.

EXCAVATOR IN CONTROL.Excavator performanceExcavator performance excels from a harmony oflinkage design, flow sharing hydraulics and ergonomiccontrols. An excavator-style boom employs an arched, ridgeddesign that is narrow and tall. Allows excellent trench visibility andfor working around buried obstructions.8

POWER WITH PRECISION.Hydraulic performanceFlow-sharing hydraulics, fitted as standard, maintainpressure and flow for multi-functional control.A hydraulic Thumb attachment can be fitted to improve machineversatility for precise and careful placement of rocks or otherobjects.10

Volvo hydraulic performance constantly adapts to your work needs. With flow-sharing oil delivery thatmatches the required force, you always have the speed and power you need.Volvo engineThe well-proven, high-performance Volvo engine provides reliability,compliance with emissions regulations and fuel efficiency forenvironmental care.Variable hydraulic pump (BL71B)The load sensing, variable flow hydraulics enable power on demandand productivity even at low engine speeds for economical operation.Flow sharing hydraulics enables multiple machine function for maximumefficiency.Two auxiliary hydraulic optionsSingle acting hydraulic line for one way direction attachments likehydraulic breakers.Double acting hydraulic line for use with hydraulic breakers, thumb ortilting ditch bucket.Fixed-flow hydraulic pump (BL61B)Equipped with one, fixed-displacement hydraulic gear pump, combinedwith a flow sharing valve, to provide a simple and robust system.11

volvo construction equipmentVolvo Construction Equipment is different. Our machines are designed, built and supported in a different way.That difference comes from an engineering heritage of over 175 years. A heritage of thinking fi rst about the peoplewho actually use the machines. About how to help them be safer, more comfortable, more productive.About the environment we all share. The result of that thinking is a growing range of machines and a global support networkdedicated to helping you do more. People around the world are proud to use Volvo.And we’re proud of what makes Volvo different.Not all products are available in all markets. Under our policy of continuous improvement, we reserve the right to change specifi cations and design without prior notice.The illustrations do not necessarily show the standard version of the machine.Ref.
