Doosan releases new excavators

Doosan has launched two new heavy crawler excavators specifically designed for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets – the 48 tonne DX480LCA and the 51 tonne DX520LCA.

 

The new releases are the latest new machines in Doosan's roll-out of the LCA generation crawler excavators for the MEA region, replacing the SOLAR range. It follows on from the DX225LCA, DX300LCA and DX340LCA models released last year, while further LCA can be expected later this year. The range will be completed by late 2013.

 

Doosan has high hopes for the machines, saying that they are designed to be leaders in their respective weight classes. The DX480LCA combines power with extra reach and stability, allowing it to accomplish long cycles and heavy pulling work.

 

The DX520LCA model offers exceptional stability and lifting capabilities. A mass excavation machine, it has been fitted with an extra heavy counterweight and a short front end to deliver more breakout force for tough digging jobs. (Source: constructionweekonline.com)
