Technical Description

The Doosan DL500 wheel loader is a heavy-duty machine designed for demanding construction, mining, and material-handling tasks. Powered by a turbocharged Cummins QSM11 engine, it delivers 335 hp (250 kW) at 1900 rpm with 6 cylinders, providing robust torque at 1400 rpm for efficient operation. Its full power-shift transmission offers 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, with maximum speeds of 21.8 mph forward and 15.2 mph reverse, ensuring smooth shifting and excellent traction. The loader features a substantial bucket capacity of 6.3 cubic yards (5 m³) with a breakout force of 61,373 lbs (27,839 kg) and a bucket width of 11.2 ft (3 m), enabling high productivity in large material handling. The DL500’s hydraulic system includes an axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 122.6 gal/min (462 l/min), delivering fast cycle times: 6 seconds to raise, 1.8 seconds to dump, and 4.3 seconds to lower. Its operational dimensions include a dump clearance of 11.1 ft (3 m) at max raise, hinge pin height of 15.1 ft (5 m), and a 31.3 ft (9 m) length with bucket on the ground. The wheelbase stands at 11.9 ft (3 m) with a turning radius of 24.2 ft (7 m), while ground clearance is 1.7 ft (0.5 m). Equipped with 29.5R25 tires and limited-slip differentials front and rear, it offers superior mobility in rough terrain. The loader’s static tipping weight is 50,706 lbs (23,000 kg). The cab is designed for operator comfort and visibility, enhancing long-hour productivity and safe operation. Fluid capacities support extended operation, including 125.8 gallons of fuel and 62.4 gallons for the hydraulic system.
