Centrestage in the Doosan Heavy display will be the new DX700LC 70 tonne crawler excavator, the top-of-the-range model in the Doosan excavator range.

It has a modern attractive design and offers several features to give optimum value to the end-user thanks to outstanding productivity, superior comfort, high reliability, durability and maximum uptime.

The DX700LC model will be shown alongside the Doosan DX500LC, DX420LC and DX380LC large excavators, the DH225LC-9 and DX230LC medium sized excavators and the DX60 mini-excavator.

Doosan will also be exhibiting the new DA40 articulated dump truck (ADT) for the first time at Bauma China. Incorporating over 40 years of expertise in the ADT market and using quality components from world-class suppliers such as Scania, ZF, NAF, Parker and Rexroth, the new Doosan DA40 ADTs is optimised for extreme off-road performance. Powered by the 6-cylinder Scania DC13 Tier 2 diesel engine with a gross power output of 368 kW (500 HP) at 2100 rpm, the new DA40 offers a 10% increase in engine power compared to the previous MT41 model. With a 22% increase in gross torque to 2373 Nm (1750 lb ft) at 1300 rpm, the torque available in the DA40 is 'best in class' in the ADT market.

The Doosan Heavy display will be completed by the first showing of the new generation DL550 wheel loader, the top-of-the-range model in the company's new family of wheel loaders for markets worldwide. With a bucket capacity of 5.4 m3, the DL550 wheel loader is designed 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.
