Tue March 29, 2022 - National Edition Doosan Infracore North America

Doosan Infracore North America is introducing three additional models of its next-generation -7 Series wheel loaders in the United States and Canada. These new 200 size class machines include many of the same features as the larger models and are now available at Doosan dealerships.

Similar to the -7 Series wheel loaders that were launched in spring 2021, this next generation of Doosan wheel loaders offer all-new redesigned cabs with first-class comfort features, increased bucket capacities and new fuel-saving technologies, according to the manufacturer.

The three new models — the DL200-7, DL220-7 and DL250-7 — are smaller than the models launched last year. They have standard bucket capacities between 2.6 and 3.3 cu. yds. All three new models are available with a high-lift option for additional dump height and reach.

"We're excited to offer a -7 Series iteration of our popular 200 size class wheel loaders in North America," said Aaron Kleingartner, product and dealer marketing manager, Doosan Infracore North America.

"These are among our most popular wheel loader models because of their versatility. It's quite common for customers with these machines to purchase a hydraulic quick coupler for fast and easy attachment changes."

These smaller models are most commonly used on construction sites, specifically for loading, grading and site prep work. They're also operated in scrap and recycling applications where they may be paired with a grapple attachment for handling bulk materials. Agriculture producers rely on this size of wheel loader for tasks like feeding cattle and managing manure. Grounds maintenance companies often prefer this size of wheel loader for clearing parking lots with a snow pusher or a bucket for placing snow in trucks for removal.

Each model of the -7 Series wheel loader can be equipped with an optional transparent bucket, a Doosan-exclusive technology that offers a supplemental view from a monitor inside the cab to improve operator visibility and productivity. The transparent bucket has two cameras with protective guarding, one mounted high and one mounted low on the front of the machine.

"We anticipate that the transparent bucket will be a popular option for our Doosan -7 Series wheel loaders," Kleingartner said. "Another new technology available in our newest Doosan wheel loaders is situation awareness technology (SAT). The technology helps save fuel by automatically adjusting the engine output in real time to the needs of the drivetrain and hydraulics. It lowers fuel consumption without reducing performance."

Additional Doosan -7 Series wheel loader technologies available in the 200 size class machines include the following.

The new Doosan DL200-7 wheel loader features a hydrostatic drive system for enhanced fuel efficiency, machine positional control and reduced wear on the brakes. The traction control management system allows operators to easily adjust traction force to match jobsite conditions. This helps reduce wheel slippage for more efficient digging, stockpiling and loading.

Doosan DL200-7 operators may choose from the following traction modes.

Wheel loader operators may instantly return to the machine's Max traction mode by pressing the kick-down button on the joystick control.
