Doosan Will Give Intermat Visitors a Glimpse Into Its Crystal Ball

With a focus on green energy technology, Doosan will give Intermat visitors a glimpse into its crystal ball with its concept hybrid excavators and unmanned robot excavators. It’s also playing up its 3-megawatt WinDS3000TM offshore wind power system. More down to earth, the company will introduce a slate of new machines (expected to debut in the states around mid-year, including: A new generation of five large wheel loaders, from the DL300-3 to DL550-3, with Scania DC09, five-cylinder SCR diesel engines and bucket capacities from 3.9 to 7.2 cubic yards. This new breed will have load sensing, variable hydraulic piston pumps and a clutch cut off system to disconnect the tranny from the engine and give 100 percent of the power to the hydraulics. The new five-speed ZF transmission improves power transfer and reduces fuel use, and the ZF limited slip Type II differential axles offer a hydraulic differential lock option. The DL200-3 medium wheel loader has many of the same driveline and hydraulic improvements and a 2.6-cubic-yard bucket. Doosan will also debut the DX180LC-3 medium crawler excavator with a bigger, pressurized ROPS and direct control joysticks with proportional thumb wheel switches and integrated buttons for attachment control. Also expect to see new Geith (branded Doosan) automatic couplers and large excavator buckets slated for the second quarter. Source: equipmentworld.com
