Another heavy-duty legend has made its way into the Vikfin yard — and we’re giving it a second life. We’re currently stripping a Daewoo Solar 220LC-V, one of the most popular 22-ton class excavators ever produced. Its parts are now available for purchase, fully inspected and ready for action.


From the trusted Doosan DB58T engine to its robust hydraulic system and undercarriage, every component from this workhorse is being recovered, cleaned, and tested for reliability. Whether you’re maintaining your own machine or managing a fleet, now’s your chance to grab genuine Daewoo parts at unbeatable value.


🦾 Why the Daewoo Solar 220LC-V?

Before Doosan became a global name in construction machinery, the Daewoo Solar series helped establish the brand’s reputation for power, simplicity, and durability. The Solar 220LC-V is particularly loved for its reliability, smooth hydraulics, and ease of maintenance — traits that made it a staple on construction sites across South Africa and beyond.


Key specifications:

  • Operating weight: ~21,500 kg

  • Engine: Daewoo DB58T (6-cylinder turbo diesel)

  • Gross power: ~110 kW (148 HP)

  • Bucket capacity: 0.8 – 1.2 m³

  • Hydraulic system: Load-sensing, variable displacement piston pumps

  • Max digging depth: ~6,600 mm


The Solar 220LC-V remains a proven and affordable option for contractors, which means parts for these machines are in constant demand.


🔧 Major Components Available from This 220LC-V

Our team is carefully dismantling every section of this machine to ensure each usable component is preserved and ready for resale.


1. Daewoo DB58T Engine

The Daewoo DB58T is a robust, turbocharged diesel engine built for endurance and simplicity. It’s widely used across multiple Daewoo and early Doosan models.


✔ Fully tested and inspected✔ Available as a complete engine or in major sub-assemblies (block, head, injectors, turbo, etc.)✔ Perfect for rebuilds or direct replacement


This is a proven powerplant for operators looking for affordable reliability.


2. Hydraulic Pumps and Motors

The Solar 220LC-V’s hydraulic system is known for its smooth control and power efficiency. We’re salvaging and testing all major components, including:

  • Main hydraulic pumps (K3V112 series) – bench-tested for pressure and flow

  • Swing motor and gearbox – inspected for leaks and output

  • Travel motors – disassembled, cleaned, and ready to perform


If your machine’s hydraulics are underperforming, these OEM Daewoo units are a reliable and cost-effective fix.


3. Final Drives and Travel Motors

The final drives on this 220LC-V are in excellent condition. Each one has been cleaned, inspected, and tested for smooth rotation and correct gear engagement.


✔ Genuine Daewoo assemblies✔ Compatible with Doosan 220 and 225 series machines✔ Rebuild services available on request


Replacing a final drive can be costly — but with Vikfin, you get OEM quality for a fraction of the price.


4. Boom, Arm, and Bucket Cylinders

These core components have been removed, pressure-tested, and verified for performance. We also offer reconditioned versions with new seals and polished rods for that near-new performance.

  • Boom cylinder

  • Arm cylinder

  • Bucket cylinder


Perfect for excavators losing lifting power or leaking fluid.


5. Undercarriage Components

Undercarriage parts take the most abuse — but this Solar 220LC-V’s setup is in solid shape. We’re salvaging:

  • Track chains and shoes

  • Bottom and top rollers

  • Idlers and sprockets

  • Track frames and guards


Each component is inspected for structural integrity and wear. If your tracks are worn out or misaligned, we’ve got your replacement ready.


6. Cabin, Controls, and Electrical Systems

Inside the 220LC-V’s cab, Daewoo focused on operator comfort and simplicity. The cab structure, controls, and electronics are all available and in excellent condition.


Available parts include:

  • Complete ROPS cab

  • Seat and joystick controls

  • Control panels and gauges

  • Pedals and switches

  • Air conditioning components


These genuine cabin parts are ideal for replacing damaged or non-functional components.


7. Swing Bearing and Frame Components

We’re salvaging a high-quality swing bearing that’s been checked for play, wear, and smooth operation. The upper frame and carbody components are also being dismantled and inspected.


If your machine’s rotation feels uneven or noisy, a used OEM swing bearing can be a cost-effective fix.


8. Cooling System Components

We’re offering the complete cooling system from this machine, including:

  • Radiator

  • Oil cooler

  • Water pump

  • Fan assembly and shroud


Each part is tested for leaks and performance. These components are essential for preventing engine overheating in high-demand environments.


9. Hydraulic Tank, Lines, and Valves

The hydraulic tank, filter housings, and all steel lines have been cleaned and checked. Valves and manifold assemblies are also available and ready for reuse.


10. Miscellaneous Components

No part goes unused at Vikfin. We’ve recovered:

  • Counterweight

  • Fuel tank

  • Doors and body panels

  • Steps, handrails, and guards

  • Swing gearbox housing

Everything is quality-checked and priced to move.
