Doosan Infracore North America expanded its wheel loader lineup with the new DL580-5 wheel loader.

The machine is a two-pass fill wheel loader for over-the-road, 24-ton capacity trucks, improving operational efficiency and reducing loadout cycle times, according to Doosan.

The DL580-5 wheel loader is designed to serve customers in mining and aggregate work, and is capable of heavy-duty construction tasks. The model is able to move large amounts of abrasive material while providing operators with comfort and increased uptime, Doosan says.

Also, the DL580-5 serves operators and owners with its efficiency of offering a two-pass fill and bucket selections that are made to last through harsh material handling tasks.

“This wheel loader pairs efficiency and productivity with operator comfort and gives our machine operators the extra capacity they need to move more material, especially for aggregate work,” says Aaron Kleingartner, Doosan Infracore North America product and dealer marketing manager. “This model will be a valued addition to our wheel loader lineup, particularly in aggregate and mining applications.”

Performance features

A key feature of the DL580-5 wheel loader is its ability to fill a 24-ton, over-the-road truck in just two passes. Also, the wheel loader is equipped with an enhanced front work group that features a reinforced Z-bar, a larger profile arm and lift cylinder geometry that work together to improve lifting capacity and performance.

The model also has a larger volume steering pump and cylinders, helping to maintain steering efficiency with larger loaded weights.

In addition, Doosan provides a heavier counterweight to offset larger load capacities.
