Doosan Infracore North America has added an electronically controlled excavator model with machine-assisted technologies to its next generation of crawler excavators in the United States.
The fully electro-hydraulic control system on the DX225LC-7X crawler excavator enables advanced machine guidance and machine control systems. This includes a 2D and upgradable 3D grading system.
The DX225LC-7X is part of the company’s excavator plans for 2022 and 2023 as it replaces Doosan-5 models. The Doosan -7 Series crawler excavators, including the standard DX225LC-7, feature higher digging forces and lifting capacities and increased fuel efficiency. Diesel engines in the excavators will continue to meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards without diesel particulate filters.
The larger models will come with D-ECOPower for saving fuel. Models now available for dealers to order include the reduced-tailswing 14-metric-ton DX140LCR-7, the DX225LC-7, the DX255LC-7 and the DX350LC-7.
“Doosan continues to build on the success of its existing excavator platform with more machine features that help our customers improve their productivity,” says Joel Escalante, product specialist. “We’ve enhanced the excavator cab with additional comfort features and now offer an all-around view monitor for even better operator visibility of the jobsite.”
Upgrades to the standard machines are an improvement in efficiency and productivity from previous models. However, he suggests the DX225LC-7X takes control to another level.
“The reason we put the DX225LC-7X as a different machine is because the DX225LC-7X has a fully electro-hydraulic system,” Escalante says. “What that means is the controls, your joysticks, have no pilot hoses; it's all electronic.”
