Ford CL30-CL40 Skid Steer Compact Loader Specifications
The Ford CL 30 and CL 40 Compact Loaders, Figure 1, are self contained, hydrostatic drive, four-wheel drive front end loaders. An engine driven pump provides hydraulic power to drive the loader through separate circuits on each side of the vehicle. Double acting cylinders lift and dump the loader bucket through a hydraulic circuit.
The drive system is comprised of three basic units; the pumps, the hydraulic motors and the chain drive. The pumps are the source of pressure and volume and they determine the direction of flow of oil in the drive circuit. The hydraulic motors power the unit utilizing a high torque, low rpm design. The chain drive transfers power from the hydraulic motors to the wheels.
Steering is accomplished by a lever and linkage arrangement which controls the hydraulic drive circuit on each side of the vehicle. With the drive control levers in the neutral position, no oil flow occurs. When the control levers are pushed forward, oil is pumped to the drive motors moving the unit forward. When the coniroi Severs are pulled backward, the oil flow to the drive motors is reversed, moving the unit backward.
Turning is accomplished by regulating the oil flow in the drive circuits. Difference in hydraulic oil flow drives one side faster or slower than the other and results in a turning movement. One side full forward and the other full reverse provides a full pivot turn.
Please note that the engines for these Ford CL30-CL40 Skid Steer Compact Loader are covered in separate engine manuals.
