DL480-7 Doosan DL480-7 Specifications & Technical Data (2021—2023)

Meet the New Generation of Doosan Machines

Boost your productivity with the new DL420-7 and DL480-7 Doosan wheel loaders. Exceptional power – combined with the finest workmanship – results in machines that perform at the highest level.

The DL420-7 and DL480-7 enhance your output from every angle

Impressive breakout force and high traction make penetration easy and allow you to tackle the hardest materials. Powerful hydraulic system makes work quick and efficient. Scania DC13 engine provides the power you need while meeting Stage V environmental regulations. The combination of these features gives Doosan wheel loaders excellent penetration power, ensuring optimum bucket load in each cycle.

Environment-friendly power

The DL420-7 and DL480-7 are powered by a Scania DC13 engine compliant with the Stage V emissions regulations. High-pressure fuel injection and precise timing provide highly efficient fuel burn and perfect combustion. The aftertreatment system is composed of a selective catalytic reduction module, an oxidation catalyst, and a long-life particulate filter to reduce emissions without requiring an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve.

Easy Entry and Exit

Grab handles and offset steps with slip-resistant surfaces provide safe & easy access to the cab and easy exit when work is finished. The door opens 180° and can be locked in the open position - to provide a wide opening for moving in and out of the machine.

Air intake

Maintenance-free cyclone air pre-filter separates more than 99% of particles 20 microns in size and larger. Cleaning and cartridge replacement are only needed at long intervals. In addition to extending the air filter's lifetime, the pre-filter also ensures better combustion and a longer engine lifetime.

Automatic lubrication system

The DL420-7 and DL480-7 are standard equipped with a factory-fitted auto-lube system, with greasing point at the middle of the pin and bushing for better grease distribution and enhanced lifetime.

Improved productivity

This new range gives you access to buckets with higher capacities on the Doosan Wheel Loaders - so you have more possibilities to optimize the bucket size for the density of your material.

Efficient power management

You can select from 3 different engine working modes – SAT, Standard and Power – while the Power-up function lets you switch the parameters to level-up working mode with lower transmission shift intervals by fully applying the acceleration pedal. The latest generation of automatic power management settings – Situation Awareness Technology 2 – automatically monitors the machine’s activity and adjusts the engine’s output according to the result of the real-time analysis.

Variable geometry turbocharger

Optimizes boost pressure over a wide range of engine speeds. The turbocharger generates higher torque, provides faster response, and reduces fuel consumption.

Save fuel, save money

Auto Idle: The standard auto idle feature automatically reduces the engine revs to standby idle a few seconds after the steering wheel, gearshift control lever, and accelerator cease movement. This reduces noise, improves jobsite communications, and saves fuel. When you move the controls, the loader automatically returns to working idle. Auto Shutdown: When enabled, the engine automatically shuts down after idle time reaches a specified elapsed time (3 to 60 minutes).

Powertrain

The Doosan transmission has 5 gears to boost acceleration performance, especially on climbs with the lock-up. The gear ratios are optimized, and smooth, shock-free shifts contribute to the high overall level of operator comfort. Traction force is also maximized. Together, these qualities enable high working speed in all conditions.

I.c.c.o. (intelligent clutch cut-off)

Need more engine power for lift arm speed? In lower gears, simply depress the left brake pedal to disengage the transmission. Disengage transmission cutout with your switch panel to start moving on an incline with greater ease.

Torque converter with lock-up function

The DL420-7 and DL480-7 also feature a torque converter lockup. When this is activated, the engine automatically connects directly to the transmission (depending on speed and travel resistance), even from 2nd gear. The transmission receives the full engine power without hydraulic slip – thus increasing speed on slope dramatically. This feature can save you up to 10% in fuel costs.

Cooling package

Wide pitch fin radiators coupling with a reversible fan keep the cooling system performing constantly, minimizing machine downtime and reducing daily maintenance. The operator can easily set standard intervals for fan reverse from the Doosan Smart Touch. Performance is regulated for lower fuel consumption and shorter warm-up periods.

Transmission

5-gear powershift transmission with 3 operating modes: manual, fully automatic, or semi-automatic with 'kick-down' function. Based on high-quality components, it is equipped with a modulation system for protection and smooth gear and direction changes. A manual transmission control lever is located to the left of the steering wheel. The direction change function is also available in automatic or semi-automatic mode. The transmission can be disengaged by the brake pedal to deliver full engine power to the hydraulic system. A safety device prevents the engine from starting if the transmission is not in neutral. The torque converter lock-up function operates from 2nd to 5th gear.

Brakes

Dual multi-disc circuit with sintered metal discs for extended service life. The braking system is activated by a pump and accumulator circuits. A spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brake is mounted on the transmission shaft and accumulator circuits, and it is electronically activated. The brake type is spring-applied / hydraulically released. The brake pump with variable displacement axial pistons provides 58 l/min. The operator can activate or deactivate the Intelligent Clutch Cut-Off on the brake pedal from a switch and can adjust the sensor proximity with the same switch. Additionally, the emergency brakes are composed of a double system continually under pressure by accumulators.

Full fenders

To keep them clean and avoid mud splashing on the windows or accidents on slippery steps, Doosan’s wheel loaders are standard equipped with full fenders and mud guards. Enlarged front fenders protect front windows and ensure maximum operator visibility.

Adjustable steering column

Enhance your driving comfort, and work without fatigue, by easily adjusting the steering column’s tilt and telescopic movements to fit your preferred position.

Electric joystick steering

Keep your concentration and reduce strain with the comfortable joystick steering integrated on the armrest. Drive your machine easily, especially in repetitive tasks and tight spaces. You can customize the sensitivity level – from low to high. For better controllability, steering sensitivity changes with travel speed.
