We report on a scheme for loading dysprosium atoms into a narrow-linethree-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D MOT). Our innovative approachreplaces the conventional Zeeman slower with a 2D MOT operating on the broad421-nm line to create a high-flux beam of slow atoms. Even in the absence of apush beam, we demonstrate efficient loading of the 3D MOT, which operates onthe narrower 626-nm intercombination line. Adding push beams working at either421 nm or 626 nm, significant enhancement of the loading rate is achieved. Wereach the best performance, with an enhancement factor of $3.6$, using a pushbeam red-detuned to the 626-nm line. With loading rates greater than $10^8$atoms/s achieved at a moderate oven reservoir temperature of $800\,^{\circ}$C,our method offers similar or greater performance than Zeeman-slower-basedsystems. Our 2D-MOT-based approach constitutes a promising first step forstate-of-the-art quantum gas experiments with several advantages over theZeeman-slower-based setup and is readily adaptable to other open-shelllanthanides.
