New Doosan DL200-7 wheel loader
Completing the company’s DL-7 family of wheel loaders, Doosan Infracore Europe has confirmed the launch of the new DL200-7 wheel loader, the smallest model in the range. Power is provided by the Perkins 1204J 4-cylinder Stage 5 engine with an output of 106kW (144hp) at 2,200rpm. The aftertreatment system is composed of a selective catalytic reduction module, an oxidation catalyst and a long-life particulate filter to reduce emissions.
The Doosan Smart Guidance System (DSGS) is a new feature which analyses the driving habits and behaviour of the operator and helps them to achieve the most fuel-efficient operation. The DSGS provides a score and guide (the Score-Graph) of the operator’s driving pattern to show fuel economy, efficiency and durability by category.
The new cab on the DL200-7 offers a greatly improved field of vision for the operator, with blind spots around the cab minimized and a 14% larger glass window area compared to the previous DL-5 model. The DL200-7 wheel loader also offers the option of electrically adjustable rear view mirrors for added safety. Full LED working lights are installed on the cab (two on both the front and rear as standard, with the option of four or six each at the front and rear).
Inside the cab, there’s an 8-inch touchscreen, plus enhanced steering system and advanced electronic controls. A new, anti-theft Doosan Smart Key system boosts security, while the Grammer Actimo XXL seat with fully adjustable horizontal and vertical suspension settings, a pneumatic lumbar function and seat heating as standard increases comfort.
The new EMCV (Electric Main Control Valve) joystick fully integrated in the armrest is another standard feature in the cab, providing the operator with smoother and precise controllability of the lift arm and attachments on the wheel loader. Features available via the EMCV system include Automatic Return-to-Dig, Bucket Tilt Kick-out and the Bucket crowd stop position and shock prevention for higher operator comfort.
The DL200-7 is equipped as standard with a 3rd spool valve with settable flow and detent function, providing a constant flow for hydraulically driven attachments. A 4th spool valve is available as an option. Operators can easily and comfortably control hydraulic attachments via the proportional switch on the joystick.
Various tyre options are also available from leading global manufacturers, to cover the widest possible range of conditions and applications. In addition, the new DL200-7 wheel loader can be ordered with an optional 300kg counterweight, depending on the application.
The standard bucket capacity on the DL200-7 is 2.0m3. The Z-kinematic lift arm is said to be capable of providing high breakout forces and lifting capacities, especially for heavy materials, and a large dump angle for efficiently unloading sticky materials. The DL200-7 is also available as an HL version, featuring a high lift arm and the 300kg counterweight, where higher dump heights and increased versatility are required.
The LIS (Load Isolation System) provides a smoother ride and higher comfort for the operator, as well as higher productivity due to improved stability when the wheel loader is moving. The DL200-7 wheel loader is equipped with an updated Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) and new stronger Torque Proportional Differential (TPD) axles as standard, too.
Optional limited-slip differentials at the front and rear automatically ensure maximum traction and easy driving over soft and muddy ground with no need for a manual differential lock. The DL200-7 wheel loader is also factory-installed with the latest DoosanConnect wireless fleet monitoring system.
