First Time for New Doosan Products at Hillhead 2022
Doosan will be featuring a wide range of new products for the first time on the company’s Stand Number Z4 at the Hillhead 2022 Exhibition in Hillhead Quarry in Buxton in the UK from 21-23 June 2022. They include the latest versions of the company’s large crawler excavators from 36 to 53 tonne, the next generation of Doosan mini-excavators, the new DX100W-7 10 tonne wheeled excavator and a new range of compact wheel loaders, Alongside these products, Doosan will show the latest DL-7 wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks for the quarrying, mining and construction industries.
Increased Comfort and Controllability
A number of new standard and optional features are now available on several large Doosan crawler excavators, including the DX350LC-7, DX380LC-7, DX420LC-7, DX490LC-7 and DX530LC-7 models. The main changes are in the new cab, which takes operator comfort and ease of operation to the next level.
Standard features include:
- Keyless start (Doosan Smart Key) & remote door lock/unlock
- Parallel wiper system covering a larger window area
- Operator ID/Password functionality (setting operator authorization to modify parameters)
- Remote diagnostics functionality
- New Heating & Cooling seat (cooling is optional)
- DAB audio + hands-free call system
- 11 LED work lights as standard with 2 more optional
- AVM – Around View Monitor with 360° cameras (Ultrasonic sensors are optional)
In all the excavators, the Main Control Valve (MCV) has also been changed as standard to a Doosan Mottrol MCV with no change in performance.
Next Generation Doosan Mini-Excavators
Hillhead provides the first look at selected models from Doosan’s next generation mini-excavator range, which currently includes the new DX27Z-7 2.8 tonne, DX35Z-7 3.9 tonne, DX50Z-7 5.4 tonne and DX55R-7 5.7 tonne Stage V compliant models. The zero tail swing design of the DX27Z-7, DX35Z-7 and DX50Z-7 and the reduced radius design of the DX55R-7 models make them ideal for confined space work.
The DX27Z-7 and DX35Z-7 are powered by the Doosan D17 Stage V compliant diesel engine providing 18.4 kW (24.7 HP) of power at 2400 and 2200 RPM, respectively. The DX50Z-7 and DX55R-7 are powered by the Doosan D18 Stage V compliant diesel engine providing 36.4 kW (48.8 HP) of power at 2200 RPM. As a result, all four models offer the highest power and torque in their respective classes and cover a wide range of applications including heavy duty work.
A novel platform design featuring new upper structures has increased durability/robustness and this is complemented in all four new mini-excavators by a larger working range than other equivalent machines on the market, coupled with higher lifting capacities and digging forces.
