1994-2014 DOOSAN DL160 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Doosan DL160 is a turbocharged wheel loader powered by a QSB4.5, 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 275 cubic inches (4.5 liters), delivering a net power output of 108 hp (81 kW) at 2000 rpm and peak torque at 1500 rpm. It features a 2.1 cubic yard (2 m³) heaped bucket capacity with an 8.1 ft (2 m) bucket width, enabling efficient material handling. The loader’s bucket reaches a maximum dump clearance of 9.1 ft (3 m) and a reach of 3.4 ft (1 m) at max lift and dump. Its overall dimensions include a length of 21.4 ft (6 m) with the bucket on the ground, a wheelbase of 8.9 ft (2.7 m), and a height to the top of the cab of 10.3 ft (3 m). Ground clearance is 1.4 ft (0.4 m), and the hinge pin height maxes out at 11.9 ft (3.6 m). The machine operates at an operating weight of about 19,246 lbs (8,730 kg) and has a static tipping load of 14,330 lbs (6,500 kg). Tire size is 17.5-25. Hydraulics employ two gear pumps with a combined flow capacity of 46.5 gallons per minute (174 l/min). Cycle times include a dump time of 1.4 seconds, raise time of 5.5 seconds, and lower time of 3.3 seconds, with a relief valve setting at 2,900 psi. The DL160 uses a powershift transmission with 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, yielding a max forward speed of 21.1 mph (34 kph) and reverse speed of 13.5 mph (21 kph). Operating systems run on a 24V voltage system. Fluid capacities include 48.9 gal fuel, 26.5 gal hydraulics, and 6.9 gal engine oil, supporting sustained operation and maintenance efficiency. Rear axle oscillation is 22°, and turning radius is 17.7 ft (5.4 m), facilitating maneuverability in confined spaces.
