2003 - 2006 DOOSAN DL250 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Doosan DL250 is a robust wheel loader designed for heavy-duty material handling tasks with a heaped bucket capacity of 3.3 cubic yards (2 m³) and a bucket width of 9 feet (3 m). It delivers a breakout force of 29,101 lbs (13,200 kg), driven by a turbocharged DL06 six-cylinder engine producing 162 hp (121 kW) gross and 153 hp (114 kW) net at 2100 rpm. The engine features a common-rail fuel system with cooled EGR, DOC, and SCR to meet Tier 4 emissions standards. The hydraulic system includes a triple-section vane pump delivering 33.3 gallons per minute (125 L/min) with rapid bucket cycle times—raise time of 5.4 seconds, lower time of 3.3 seconds, and dump time of 1.3 seconds. The DL250's chassis features a wheelbase of 10 feet (3 m), overall length of 25.3 feet (8 m), height to cab roof of 10.7 feet (3 m), and ground clearance of 1.4 feet (0.4 m). The loader achieves a maximum hinge pin height of 12.7 feet (4 m) and a dumping clearance at max lift of 8.9 feet (2.7 m), with a reach of 4 feet (1.2 m) at max lift and dump. Operating weight is approximately 30,865 lbs (14,000 kg) with rear axle oscillation of 22°. Transmission is a powershift type with four forward and three reverse gears, enabling a top forward speed of 21.2 mph (34 kph) and a turning radius of 18 feet (5.5 m). Other features include a durable reinforced frame, Z-bar linkage for excellent digging force, advanced cooling system with reversible fan, and operator-focused cabin design offering improved ergonomics and visibility. The DL250 is well-suited for construction, agriculture, and material handling environments requiring reliable power and precision.
