For optimum traction in diffucult terrain, the Volvo L40B featured 100% operator selectable differential locks in the front rear axles, helping all wheels turn with the same speed. The servo-controlled hydraulic control valve features a proven, double-acting design for smooth control of all movements. The L40B provided excellent visibility around the entire machine. Cab windows were large, offering a very large glazed surface area on all four sides. With a wide range of available Volvo attachments and choice of two attachment carriers, the Volvo L40B delivered the versatility of an entire fleet of machines.
