Large Wheel Loaders L260H

New generation OptiShift

For improved cycle times and greater fuel efficiency, customize the lock-up engagement of your machine with new generation OptiShift. The improved technology integrates the Reverse By Braking (RBB) function – patented by Volvo – and the new torque converter with lock-up, creating a direct drive between the engine and transmission, reducing fuel consumption.

Fuel Report

Identify any inefficiency with Fuel Report, designed to help you reduce the industry’s number one operational cost factor. With detailed machine data, Fuel Report supports in taking corrective actions to reverse machine issues and improve fuel efficiency.

Volvo engine

Engineered for efficiency and productivity, the L260H is fitted with a powerful Tier 4 final engine, delivering 6% more power and 5% more torque than the L250H.

New transmission

For ultimate performance, the L260H has been upgraded with the new HTL310 transmission, which works in harmony with the powerful engine and axels. The new converter delivers increased torque output, resulting in better performance. For faster acceleration and smooth operation, the steps between gears have been reduced.

On-Board Weighing

Make overloading, underloading, reweighing and waiting times a thing of the past with On-Board Weighing, providing real-time insight into the bucket’s load. What’s more, with the new Simple Mode, it has never been easier to start reaping the benefits of On-Board Weighing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

With the tire pressure monitoring app, you can check the condition of your tires from the comfort of the cab. Providing real-time information on tire pressure and temperature, the system saves time during machine inspections and can prolong tire lifetime.

Rehandling bucket

Experience up to 5% greater productivity with the new 7.3 m³ (9.5 yd³) Volvo Rehandling bucket. The redesigned bucket is easier to fill and minimizes spillage, thanks to new convex sides and an improved spill guard. To prevent spillage and absorb shocks, opt for the Boom Suspension System, which automatically engages, depending on gear or speed selection.

Protect your bucket

Extend the life of your bucket with a choice of reinforcement options. Bolt-on edges protect the bottom edge of the bucket, while segments protect the cutting edge of the bucket, increasing durability.

Comfortably productive

Customize your machine and ensure precise control of hydraulic functions, with the choice of single or multi levers. To get the most out of each operation, select from three hydraulic modes, according to your preferred responsiveness. To reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity, Comfort Drive Control gives you the opportunity to steer the machine from a small lever.

Bucket leveling function

To enhance visibility, the L260H has new rear-view mirrors and can be equipped with a rear-view camera. Optimized by the radar detect system, which works with the camera to give a visual and audible alert to the operator of unseen on-coming objects. Orange handrails and steps have been placed on the machine, intended to stand out to the operators and maintenance staff.

Improved component access

Minimize downtime and increase component life with easier access to the Boom Suspension System accumulators – now placed on the outside of the front frame – and P-brake, which is now external.

Delayed shutdown

Reduce the wear on your engine with new delayed engine shutdown, which can be scheduled to activate automatically by the operator. The intelligent function turns off the machine when the turbo charger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature, reducing component wear.
