Volvo MC110B Skid Steer Loader Detailed Overview
#1
Machine Specifications
  • Engine: Volvo D3.4D, a liquid-cooled, 16-valve turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 62.3 kW (83.5 hp).
  • Operating Weight: About 3,398 kg (7,480 lbs).
  • Operating Capacity (SAE): Around 1,088 kg (2,400 lbs).
  • Tipping Load (SAE): Approximately 2,177 kg (4,800 lbs).
  • Hydraulic Flow: Delivers about 108 liters per minute (l/min) for smooth attachment operation.
  • Max Travel Speed: Roughly 11.4 km/h (7.1 mph).
  • Dimensions: Length about 11 ft 8 in, width 6 ft 0 in, height approximately 6 ft 9 in, offering a compact yet powerful form suitable for urban or tight job sites.
Features
The MC110B is engineered to offer a balance between power, maneuverability, and operator comfort:
  • Turbocharged engine delivers responsive power with efficient fuel usage.
  • Hydraulic system optimized for quick cycle times and effective attachment control.
  • Available with traditional hand- and foot-operated controls or optional pilot-operated joystick controls for enhanced precision and reduced operator fatigue.
  • Robust frame and durable components designed for heavy-duty tasks yet small enough for a wide variety of applications from construction to landscaping.
Applications
The MC110B excels in environments requiring compact size without sacrificing performance:
  • Construction projects needing material handling in confined spaces.
  • Landscaping tasks involving grading, loading, and debris removal.
  • Agricultural farmyard work where versatility and strength are needed.
  • Utility installations and municipalities requiring reliable compact loaders.
Maintenance and Operational Tips
  • Use manufacturer-approved fuel and lubricants to maintain engine and hydraulic system health.
  • Regularly inspect hydraulic lines, filters, and connections to prevent breakdowns.
  • Monitor tire or track conditions depending on configuration, ensuring optimal grip and machine stability.
  • Keep cooling system clean to prevent overheating especially in demanding climates.
  • Train operators on control layout variations and machine limits for safety and efficiency.
Terminology
  • Operating Capacity (SAE): The recommended maximum load that the machine can safely handle according to SAE standards.
  • Tipping Load: The amount of load that will cause the machine to tip compared to machine stability.
  • Hydraulic Flow Rate: Volume of hydraulic fluid delivered per minute; influences speed and power of attachments.
  • Pilot-Operated Joysticks: Controls that use hydraulic pressure controlled by small pilot valves offering smoother operation.
  • Turbocharged Engine: Engine with forced air induction to increase power output and efficiency.
Industry Impact
Volvo Construction Equipment has a history of integrating safety, durability, and fuel efficiency into their skid steers. The MC110B represents mid-range capacity forklifts that bridge smaller compact models and larger loaders, serving a crucial role in job site versatility.
Example
On a busy urban project in Minnesota, the MC110B's compact footprint allowed operators to navigate narrow alleyways while maintaining enough power and hydraulic flow for heavy lifting tasks, dramatically improving materials delivery turnaround times compared to legacy equipment.
Conclusion
The Volvo MC110B is a reliable, powerful, and versatile skid steer loader well-suited to mid-size job requirements. Its balance of horsepower, hydraulic capability, and compact design make it a favorite among operators needing agility without sacrificing lifting capacity and performance. Proper maintenance and operator training enhance its longevity and productivity in diverse operating environments.
