DL 160 Doosan DL 160 Specifications & Technical Data (2006—2009)

Limited slip (option only for DL200)

The machines axles can be fitted with limited slip differentials at the front and rear. This automatically ensures the maximum tractive effort and easy driving over soft and muddy ground. It also reduces the risk of skidding, and at the same time prevents excessive tyre wear. The brake discs integrated into the planetary reduction gears in the hubs are metal reinforced, ensuring long hours of operation and reduced maintenance.

Drive shaft

A protective cover has been fitted to protect the oil seal from dust and foreign objects, thus wear during use is reduced.

Performance

Perfect integration of power and intelligence. When exceptional power is combined with the very best workmanship, the wheel loader reaches the peak of its performance. The DL160 and the DL200 loaders give you outstanding productivity. The reason is, on the one hand, the impressive digging power allows the hardest materials to be tackled, and on the other, high tractive power enables easy penetration. With a powerful hydraulic system, the operator can work quickly and powerfully.

Automatic transmission

The transmission is particularly smooth and the gear ratios are optimised. There are no shocks, resulting in an appreciable level of comfort for the operator. The traction force is optimum under all working conditions. The combination of these characteristics enables the loader to maintain high speed under all conditions and favours penetration and thus optimum bucket filling at each cycle. The transmission has three modes of operation: Manual Automatic (automatic shift for all gears) Semi – Automatic (automatic with a “kick down” for first gear)

Transmission filter

The transmission filter is easy to reach and can, like all other maintenance components, be checked from ground level.

Transmission diagnostics

The laptop PC “monitoring” function allows the status of the transmission to be checked very easily. Disc brake wear is automatically compensated for, and wear can be checked without disassembly.

Transmission

A manual transmission control lever is located to the left of the operator. In automatic or semi-automatic mode a change of direction function is also available. The transmission can be disengaged by the brake pedal to make all the engine power available for the hydraulics. A safety device prevents the engine being started if the transmission is not in neutral. The transmission can be tested and adjusted with special equipment. A computer can be connected to monitor the history of its operation.

Hydraulic circuit return filter

The engine oil filter offers a high level of filtration. Thanks to its high quality, oil change intervals are increased. The hydraulic circuit return filter, made of glass fibre, eliminates up to 99.5% of foreign substances. It effectively protects the hydraulic circuit and extends service intervals.

Brake & Pilot Filter

The pilot filter is easy to replace and a clogged filter warning system has been added for extra protection.

Orfs

To ensure perfect oil tightness, all ports, even the low pressure ports which are used for the pilot lines, are ORFS type.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system consists of gear type pump with steel case and automatic wear compensation. Automatic functions for positioning the bucket for digging as well as stopping the boom at the desired height position are standard. A simple levelling function is also available as standard. The hydraulic control valve has a third port for powering an auxiliary hydraulic function.

Comfort

A perfect workspace has been created for you. The work rate of the wheel loader is directly linked to the performance of its operator. DOOSAN designed the DL160 and DL200 by putting the operator at the centre of their development goals. More space, better visibility, air conditioning, a very comfortable seat, sufficient storage space... All these elements ensure that the operator can work for hours in excellent conditions.

Air conditioning

The high performance air conditioning system provides an air flow which is adjusted and electronically controlled according to the conditions. A double air filter protects the operator’s environment. The comfort is comparable to that of a new car.

Control levers (option only for DL200)

The control levers are very precise. Different options are available to match what the operator is accustomed to as well as an optional auxiliary lever.

Reliability

Special attention was given to the design and manufacture of structural components. To ensure long lifetime for the main structures, DOOSAN has used finite element techniques. All the structural components such as the chassis, the joints and the lifting arm have been designed using this method. After modelling, they are subjected to intensive laboratory and field testing where extreme conditions are simulated and tested. Statistical data is established in order to constantly increase the level of reliability.

Load stabiliser (option only for DL200)

This system is ideal for all loading and movement situations and increases driver productivity and comfort. It also minimises the amount of material spilt during travelling.

Lifting system

The type Z lifting system has a simple lifting piston system and is designed for the toughest jobs. The breakout force of 7,8 tonnes for DL160 and 10,5 tonnes for DL200 combines with a bucket angle that is well maintained throughout the range of movement. The bucket angles are optimised in the travelling position and at ground level. The Load isolation system (LIS) is fitted as an option (only for DL200), increasing operator comfort and improving output.
