Doosan's new 2.9-cubic-yard wheel loader makes truck loading easy

The new DL220 articulated wheel loader from Doosan is ideally sized to handle a wide range of material handling tasks, from loading and transporting sand and gravel, to snow and storm debris removal.

Built around a Tier 3 compliant, 148-horsepower 6-cylinder Doosan DL06 diesel engine, the DL220 offers an operating weight of 27,205 pounds and a bucket capacity of 2.9 cubic yards. Dump height of 9 feet 4 inches and dump reach of 3 feet 6 inches make truck-loading easy.

The DL220 features a standard bucket breakout force of 22,928 pounds. Static tipping load at full turn is 19,282 pounds. Turning radius at bucket edge is 19 feet 2 inches at the maximum steering angle of 40 degrees. Axle oscillation is ± 11 inches.

Four forward speed ranges provide maximum speeds of 4.3, 7.8, 14.3 and 23 mph. Three reverse speed ranges offer maximum speeds of 4.5, 8.4 and 16 mph. Depending on the application, the operator can choose between standard and economy working modes for either maximum productivity or minimum fuel consumption.

Like all Doosan wheel loaders, the DL220 features a full powershift transmission with manual, automatic and semiautomatic (with “kick down” for first gear) modes.
