Doosan has launched two new mini-excavators which it says are the first in a new generation of machines.
Two new mini-excavators, the DX50Z-7 and DX55R-7, have been launched by Doosan. The DX50Z-7 is a 5.4 tonne machine, and the DX55R-7 a 5.7 tonne excavator.
Both zero tail swing machines feature are powered by the Doosan D18 Stage V compliant diesel engine providing 36.4 kW (48.8 HP) of power at 2200 RPM.
The two mini-excavators both incorporate a new dozer blade and a new dozer blade control lever. Using the dozer lever, the operator can select between low and high speed for the levelling blade hydraulics. Travel speed can also be selected by using the travel selector button on the dozer lever.
Larger cab
The mini-excavators also feature a new larger, roomier cab, for operator comfort and controllability. The cab has a full glass entry door, to maximize operator visibility on this side of the machine from inside the cab. There are also high luminance LED work lamps on the cab to further enhance visibility and additional LED lamps are also available as an option.
Inside the cab operators will also find an enhanced heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, DAB audio, a sunglasses case, an eight-inch touch screen, an air suspension seat with heating and a thumbwheel joystick. Other features include an A/C control panel keypad, a USB Charger and 12V Socket, foldable pedals and dozer control.
