DCV Engineering buys first Doosan wheel loader
DCV Engineering Ltd, a plant hire business based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, has purchased the first Doosan wheel loader for its extensive rental fleet. The new DL300-5 wheel loader has been added along with a number of new Doosan crawler excavators, including DX140LC-5 and DX140LCR-5 14-tonne and DX225LC-5 25-tonne models. The new Doosan DL300-5 wheel loader is currently on hire to a local recycling and recovery business in Wellingborough.
With a bucket capacity of 3.0 m3, the new Doosan DL300-5 wheel loader at DCV Engineering is intended to meet a wide range of material-handling needs from loading and transporting granular material (such as sand and gravel) to industrial, mining and quarrying applications. The DL300-5 wheel loader is powered by the Doosan DL08 6-cylinder diesel engine, with an output of 271hp at 1,800rpm.
The cab on the DL300-5 offers generous headroom and a fully adjustable, heated Grammer air suspension seat, plus a steering column that can be tilted and moved telescopically to match the operator’s preferred position. Meeting ROPS/FOPS regulations, the cab also offers a wide emergency exit (located on the right hand side) to provide fast and easy evacuation in critical situations.
The 5.7-inch full colour LCD panel in the cab is suitable for day and night work. The monitor has two customisable screen displays to suit the operator’s preference, giving a full readout of machine settings and maintenance data. Meanwhile, the rear-view camera greatly enhances visibility and safety. The screen in the cab shows the operator what the camera sees and includes several lines to help judge distances. It also has other functions, including light intensity control, viewing angle control, language setting and power on/off setting.
