2001-2008 SAMSUNG SL120-2 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Samsung SL120-2 is a robust wheel loader designed for efficient earthmoving tasks, featuring a turbocharged 126 hp Cummins 65T5.9-C engine delivering peak power at 2200 rpm and a maximum torque of 375.9 lb-ft at 1400 rpm. It has an operating weight of approximately 22,708 lbs (10,300 kg) and a wheelbase of 9.4 ft (3 m). The loader is equipped with a heaped bucket capacity of 2.3 cubic yards (2 m³) and a struck capacity of 1.9 cubic yards (1.45 m³), with an 8.1 ft (2 m) bucket width and a breakout force rated at 23,810 lbs (10,800 kg), enabling substantial material handling capability. The machine’s dimensions include an overall length of 22.4 ft (7 m) with the bucket on the ground, a height to the top of the cab of 10.5 ft (3 m), a ground clearance of 1.4 ft (0.42 m), and a turning radius of 15.4 ft (4.7 m). The hydraulic system is driven by vane pumps with a flow capacity of 50.2 gal/min (189 l/min), supporting fast cycle times: 1.1 sec to dump, 3.3 sec to lower, and 5.8 sec to raise the bucket. Dump clearance at maximum raise reaches 9.3 ft (2.85 m). Transmission is a countershaft type with four forward and three reverse gears, enabling maximum speeds of 20.7 mph (33.3 km/h) forward and 13 mph (21 km/h) reverse. The machine operates on a 24 V electrical system with a 50 A alternator. Tires are sized 17.5x25, and the rear axle oscillation is rated at 28° for enhanced stability on uneven terrain. Fuel capacity is 52.9 gallons (197 liters), supporting extended operational periods. This combination of power, capacity, and maneuverability makes the SL120-2 suitable for construction, mining, and material handling applications requiring moderate to heavy lifting capacity.
