Introducing MotorArt’s Volvo L150H Wheel Loader, a diecast 1:50 scale replica, which just arrived this month! Join us as we walk through several of the features that make this model a must-have, beginning with the cab.

Item #300051

The realistically replicated interior of the Roll Over Protection Systems (ROPS) & Falling Objects Protection Systems (FOPS) cab looks almost as comfortable in 1:50 scale as it does in the actual wheel loader. From the textured walking surfaces to the single lever control joy stick, the cab is replicated to precision.

From Volvo, “The cab can be tilted by a hydraulic lift which greatly improves service and maintenance access and increases machine uptime and increased machine availability.” This has been replicated for your enjoyment through precision tooling and moveable model hydraulics.

 

Check out the engine easily by simply lifting the moveable hood, modeling Volvo’s electrically activated, wide-opening engine hood. This gives you a glimpse of the Volvo Tier 4 Final/Stage IV high performance engine, replicated with a mix of diecast and precisely molded plastic components.

With an extendable boom, the L150H models the reliable hydraulics of the real thing and introduces Volvo’s rehandling bucket: retooled, it was designed to give faster and better bucket fill with its innovative shape, leading to 10% better fuel efficiency in the actual vehicle.

 

Looking at the undercarriage, you will see a couple of the features that have made the L150H such a great vehicle for Volvo. These features include a molded reproduction of the maintenance-free rear axle cradles, that reduce the service cost of the real machine, and a pivot point with model hydraulics that allow for the replica to pivot and move freely.

Replicated to perfection, the L150H is one of Volvo’s best and makes a great addition to any collection! Check back soon to see the intricate details and features of another great model.
