Doosan Infracore North America Shows DL200-5 Wheel Loader at World of Concrete
Doosan Infracore North America LLC exhibited its new DL200-5 wheel loader during the annual World of Concrete in Las Vegas this past week.
The Doosan DL200-5 wheel loader is designed for digging, heavy lifting and general construction tasks, and has a Z-bar lift-arm linkage system. The Z-bar lift-arm provides more power, breakout force and reach for digging and loading high-sided trucks.
The DL200-5 features a hydrostatic transmission, giving wheel loader operators more power, enhanced fuel efficiency and better precision while working. Operators can choose between three power modes – power, standard and economy – that adjust the maximum engine rpm. Unique to the hydrostatic drive system, the engine rpm is not directly correlated to the machine’s travel speed, so the maximum travel speed remains unaffected.
In addition, wheel loader operators can choose from three traction modes – max, traction control and S-Mode – to easily adjust traction force to match jobsite conditions for more efficient operation in digging, stockpiling and loading applications.
The DL200-5 wheel loader is available in a high-lift option for additional lift height and reach to more easily load materials such as cement into high-sided trucks.
