1979-1986 DAEWOO MEGA 160 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Daewoo MEGA 160 is a robust wheel loader engineered for efficient material handling in demanding environments. It features a 2.1 cu yd (2 m³) heaped bucket with an 8.1 ft (2 m) width and a breakout force of 17,200 lbs (7,802 kg), enabling strong digging and loading performance. The loader reaches a maximum hinge pin height of 11.9 ft (3 m) and offers a dump clearance of 9.1 ft (3 m) at full lift, with a ground clearance of 1.5 ft (0.5 m). The machine measures 21 ft (6 m) in length with the bucket on the ground and has a wheelbase of 8.9 ft (2.7 m), providing stability and maneuverability. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder DB58 engine with a displacement of 353.1 cu in (5.8 L), it delivers 108.7 hp (81 kW) at 2,200 rpm. The hydraulic system utilizes a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 37 gal/min (140 L/min), a relief valve setting of 2,845 psi, and achieves a dump time of 1.5 seconds, a raise time of 6 seconds, and a lower time of 3.1 seconds. The loader operates on a 24-volt electrical system with a 50-amp alternator. It has a full auto power-shift transmission with four forward and three reverse gears, achieving speeds up to 21.5 mph (34 km/h) forward and 14 mph (23 km/h) in reverse. The operating weight is 18,959.8 lbs (8,600 kg), with a static tipping weight of 14,330.1 lbs (6,500 kg). Fluid capacities include 48.9 gal (182 L) fuel, 26.5 gal (98 L) hydraulic fluid, and 7.7 gal (27 L) cooling system fluid. The turning radius is 17.7 ft (5 m), and it is equipped with 17.5-25-12PR tires.
