Doosan launches their new large DX380LL-5 log loader

This large forestry spec’ed machine has high swing torque and a long reach.

This Doosan log loader can be used for shovel-logging, sorting and log-loading tasks. The DX380LL-5 log loader is designed for demanding logging applications. It weights approximately 51,500 kg (113,500 lb) and is powered by a Tier 4-compliant, 234 kW (318 hp) diesel engine. It is the first Doosan log loader in this size class.

The DX380LL-5 is manufactured to be robust for forestry work and has application-specific guarding. It has durable boom, arm and heel cylinder guards, and relevant machine guarding. The log loader tracks have heavy-duty links with double grouser shoes and full-length guiding guards. The top rollers are equipped with special clean-out brackets to make routine maintenance simpler. The high and wide undercarriage has good ground clearance. It has a standard 1.2 m (4 ft) forestry cab riser for all-around visibility, including a standard rearview camera that is viewable from an easy-to-read, 7-inch LCD screen. The LCD screen provides information about the log loader’s engine rpm, battery voltage, front and rear hydraulic pump pressure, and other critical machine data. For optimal comfort, operators can adjust the suspension seat, headrest and armrest, as well as joystick controls to best accommodate operator preferences.

Maintenance has been made easier through centralized grease points, wide side-access doors for cleaning the machine’s cooling system, boom pivot bushings with greasing intervals of 250 hours and a large-capacity engine air precleaner that removes more than 99 percent of airborne particles and extends filter cartridge service life. Operators can use a standard auto-shutdown system during nonworking conditions to help save diesel fuel and reduce operating costs. When enabled, the feature will shut down the log loader’s engine when the preset idle time is met.

The following optional equipment is also available:

  • LED lights for better visibility when working early in the morning or at night
  • Auto-greasing to reduce maintenance time while still protecting the machine
  • Straight travel pedal, allowing the operator to travel in a straight line more easily
  • Block heater or diesel-powered coolant heater for cold-weather starts
  • Sideview camera available for viewing on the LCD screen
  • A new rear-entry forestry cab provides easier entry and exit to the operating area and better visibility to the tracks and work area. Operators can look through windows in the floor foot pedal area for enhanced visibility on logging sites. The new rear-entry forestry cab will be available for Doosan DX225LL-5, DX300LL-5 and DX380LL-5 log loaders.

Additional features include a hydraulic tilt riser for easier transportation on a truck when traveling to and from logging sites. For improved operator comfort, a heated air-ride seat and joystick controls are standard equipment in the updated forestry cab.
