Doosan has launched a new Waste and Recycling Kit for the company’s DL-7 range of wheel loaders with the aim of improving working conditions for operators.
The first kit of its type for this product range is designed to help operators work safely in hazardous conditions during waste handling and recycling applications, such as contending with airborne dust, dirt and other dangerous particulates and materials.
The kit has been made available for all Doosan wheel loader models from the DL200-7 through to the DL480-7, which is the segment of the Doosan range that is most widely used in this kind of environment.
According to the manufacturer, a range of new safety features are provided in the kit, including the windshield guards, rim covers, road light protection and other protective covers, a fine mesh air intake cover and solid tyres. Several of these features will be optional to allow customers tailor their wheel loaders for their specific applications.
Doosan says it is also preparing an aftermarket version of the kit for those customers who decide to install the kit at a later date. In addition, the company is providing a wider fin air conditioner condenser as standard to facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.
For maximum performance and versatility all of the new DL-7 wheel loaders are equipped as standard with a 3rd spool valve with settable flow and detent function, providing a constant flow for hydraulically driven attachments. The new kit was shown for the first time at the Doosan stand, at Bauma, where it was installed and displayed on a new generation DL280-7 wheel loader.
