Features and benefits
Up to the challenge
The LC450H makes easy work of difficult conditions. A 100% dog clutch differential lock in the front, and limited slip at the rear, contribute towards outstanding machine traction. With a 26.5 inch ground clearance, the LC450H can easily travel across high obstacles.
Unrivalled performance
With a powerful engine that works in harmony with the axles and the transmission, the LC450H delivers an unrivalled level of performance. With superior traction, high ground clearance and a choice of blade, the specialized landfill compactor is the perfect partner in waste applications.
Power up, fuel down
The 90,000lb LC450H is powered by a 416 horsepower Volvo D13J Tier 4 Final engine, featuring passive and automatic regeneration. The engine and axles work in perfect harmony with the HTL310 transmission with lock-up converter, delivering high torque output and excellent fuel efficiency.
Choice of blade
The LC450H can be equipped with a Terra semi-U or straight blade, allowing operators to select the option which best fits their needs.
Keeping you safe
Operators can feel safe thanks to the ROPS/FOPS protected cab and windshield guard, and breathe easy thanks to the RESPA cab filtration system, including a powered pre-cleaner, filter and pressurizer in one unit.
The operator's choice
When an operator enters the LC450H, they are stepping inside the industry-leading Volvo cab, boasting a range of features to keep operators safe, comfortable and working at their best.
Easy cab access
Climb into the LC450H with ease, with high-visibility steps and handrails supporting convenient entry and egress to the machine.
Comfortably productive
To reduce fatigue and improve productivity, Comfort Drive Control lets operators steer the machine from a small lever. The machine’s single lever blade control, with integrated forward/neutral/reverse, gives the operator the choice to control the transmission with their left or right hand.
All-around visibility
The LC450H is equipped with a range of features to give the operator a clear and unobstructed view of the worksite. A rear-view camera, electronically adjusted heated external rear-view mirrors, and LED work lights to the front, rear and side, all contribute towards excellent visibility.
Heavy duty guarding
Maximize performance and minimize machine wear with extensive protection throughout the LC450H, including radiator grill guard, center pin guard, swing down belly pans, front and rear differential guards, and axle seal guards. Two striker bars cover both the front and rear wheels to keep potentially damaging material away from the machine.
Durable by design
When working in tough environments you need a machine that is up to the challenge. Built to last, with a durable design and extensive protection to the machine and engine, you can count on the LC450H to succeed in waste applications.
Keep on rolling
For durability you can depend on, the LC450H is supplied with wheels from Terra Compactor Wheel Corp. as standard. The wheels are equipped with a weld-on rolling wire guard, designed to prevent wire from wrapping around the axles and damaging the seals. A 1.25 inch-thick wheel wrapper with horizontal and vertical hardfacing on the edges provides further machine strength and protection. The wheels feature 8.5 inch-tall cleats with hardfacing on the tips, with the option of two-cleat patterns and three-cleat configurations.
Engine protection
Reduce engine wear with the air pre-cleaner, engine intake and delayed engine shutdown. The new delayed engine shutdown helps to reduce component wear by turning off the machine once the turbo-charger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature. This intelligent function can be scheduled by the operator to activate automatically.
Industry-leading serviceability
For simple servicability, the Volvo cab can be tilted to either a 30° or 70° angle, and the engine hood is operated electronically. A swing down belly guards to the front, center and rear, further support convenient servicing.
Simple servicing
Regular service and maintenance is a vital part of keeping your machine in top condition and performing at its best. The LC450H is designed to make servicing simple, supporting quick and easy maintenance to keep uptime to a maximum.
Unrestricted access
Complete routine checks with speed and ease, from the ground level or machine platform. Grouped filters are accessed by removable side panels, and the remote oil drain also provides easy maintenance access. The engine oil check and fill are accessed without needing to remove any panels.
Maintenance-free components
Minimize machine downtime and increase components life thanks to maintenance-free rear axle trunnion bearings.
