Increased uptime with simplified service access
The redesigned rear of the models also gives technicians better access for servicing and repairs. Split side-mounted counterweights can be removed when needed, while a larger opening in the front frame improves access to key components and simplifies the installation of additional hydraulic or electrical equipment.
These updates complement existing uptime features, including ground-level service access, extended service intervals, and machine monitoring with the Volvo ActiveCare Direct advanced telematics system.
Operators will also notice an updated cab entrance, with three ergonomically positioned steps, handrails, and a wide-opening door that provide straightforward access throughout the working day.
Inside, a high seating position and good all-round visibility provide a clear view of the machine, attachment, and surrounding job site. Low in-cab noise, heating and optional air conditioning, an adjustable steering column, and an ergonomic joystick help keep operators comfortable throughout the working day. A 5-inch display, intuitively controlled via a jog wheel, provides easy access to key machine information.
“The L30 and L35 are already proven machines, so our focus with these updates was on listening to operator feedback and making work easier,” said Ashton. “We’ve added practical improvements that keep maintenance straightforward and boost site output, helping customers get even more done every day.”
