New Doosan Loader to Fill Municipal Government Niche

The new DL220 articulated wheel loader from Doosan is ideally sized to fit the requirements of state, county and municipal governments. Applications include 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 hp Doosan DL06 diesel engine, the DL220 offers an operating weight of 12 340 kg and a bucket capacity of 2,2 m3. Dump height of 2,85 m and dump reach of 1,06 m make truck-loading easy.

Depending on the application, the operator can choose between standard and economy working modes for either maximum productivity or minimum fuel consumption. The full powershift transmission offers four forward and three reverse speed ranges with manual, automatic and semiautomatic (with “kick down” for first gear) modes. Transmission and engine operation can be easily diagnosed by connecting a laptop computer. Optional front and rear axle limited slip differentials assure positive traction in wet or soft conditions.

The DL220’s roomy cabin provides operators with outstanding visibility and low cabin sound levels. An optional load isolation system provides smoother travel with a loaded bucket.

Options include parallel (tool carrier) linkage, a single lever control for travel functions and front-mounted attachments and a hydraulically driven, variable-speed engine fan featuring an electronic thermostat that constantly monitors engine coolant and transmission oil temperatures.
With the new DL220, the Doosan range of articulated wheel loaders now includes 10 models with bucket capacities from 1,5 to 5,2 m3.
