Doosan claims the DX340LCA is suitable for the region’s contractors and operators
Doosan has launched a new range of crawler excavators intended for the Middle East and African markets.
The new range comprises the DX225LCA, DX300LCA and DX340LCA models, which replace the previous SOLAR range, offering a new design and features particularly suited to the specific needs of the Middle East and African markets.
Doosan claims the new excavators combine high robustness for increased reliability and lower running costs with several important new functionalities and technical improvements.
Selected via a new LCD colour display panel in the cab, three operating modes for all the new excavators – Power, Standard and the Economy mode – allow a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In combination with these operating modes, the new EPOS controller ensures a perfect interface and adjustment between the engine and hydraulic output that optimises productivity and reduces fuel consumption by 5 to 15%, depending upon the mode selected.
New generation components and an optimal separation of the hydraulic flow output needed for travel and the front workgroup enable a significant acceleration of movements with better smoothness and proportional flow.
The LCD colour display panel in the cab provides an enhanced view of the available functions of the excavator, the operation history and more specific data such as maintenance intervals and the status of filters in the filtration systems. The hydraulic flow of the auxiliary line can be adjusted directly from the display panel. The display panel is only accessible using a security code to combat theft.
