WHEEL LOADERS FOR

DOOSAN DL-7 SERIES

1Combining performance with fuel efficiency, the Liebherr L 566 XPower wheel loader is ideal for tasks such as sorting, separating, and loading recyclables and solid waste quickly and reliably, as well as loading and compressing bulk cargo in high walking floor containers. The L 566 minimizes fuel consumption by up to 30 percent, in addition to minimizing tire wear and brake wear at maximum handling capacity, reducing operating costs. Service accessibility is easy with all daily maintenance points within safe and convenient reach. Liebherr also offers a comprehensive range of special equipment for waste management, including attachments and tires.

The Cat 938M waste handler features a high torque, low speed C7.1 engine that works with an intelligent hystat powertrain to deliver fuel efficiency as standard. A complete range of guarding and debris management solutions are available to protect the machine from the harsh environments of waste handling applications. The machine guarding is purpose-built to protect the machine’s major components and systems to maximize production rates. Wheel torque can be finetuned to match the underfoot conditions and maximize performance while extending tire life. Cat waste handlers feature wheel torque adjustments through an exclusive Rimpull Control feature designed to keep operating costs low.

3At the core of CASE Construction Equipment’s 721G waste handler is a specialty guarding package that includes metal-wrapped hoses, cylinder guards, a windshield guard and light protection, guarding built to shed material from collecting in critical articulation and operational points, and solid brawler tires to protect against flats. The guarding that protects the articulation points and other critical components is vital to machine uptime and performance as it prevents long-term wear and abrasion that can lead to equipment failure. Since recycling centres deal heavily in flammable materials, such as paper and cardboard, CASE has also built its G Series wheel loaders specifically to keep engine compartment temperatures down.

Doosan’s waste and recycling kit for its DL-7 range of wheel loaders is the first of its type for Doosan wheel loaders and is designed to help operators work safely in the hazardous conditions that often accompany waste handling and recycling applications, including airborne dust, dirt, and other dangerous materials. The kit is available for all Doosan wheel loader models from the DL200-7 through to the DL480-7, which is the range that is most widely used in waste applications. There are many new safety features provided in the kit, including windshield guards, rim covers, road light protection, other protective covers, a fine mesh air intake cover, and solid tires.
