Doosan sets
the style
Doosan has introduced the 20.9 tonne
DX210W-5 Stage IV-complaint wheeled
excavator that the company claims offers
enhanced comfort and controllability as
well as improved fuel efficiency, uptime and
return on investment. Themachine comes
as standard with Doosan’s wireless fleet
monitoring system, CoreTMS.
Power comes from a 6 cylinder
turbocharged Doosan DL06Pwater cooled
diesel delivering 141.2 kW (189 hp), 17%
more engine power than was available on
the previous generationmachine. Doosan
said that other engine enhancements
reduce fuel consumption by 10%.
As well as the 17% increase in engine
power, the DX210W-5 has 14%more
engine torque. The new Posicon hydraulic
system also offers a 3% increase in
hydraulic capacity, which translates
into an 8% improvement in the
bucket force and 6%more arm
force. The 900 kg (1,980
lb) weight increase and the
greatermachine width result
in front lifting capacities
being increased to 8%
(attachment down/up),
while the over the
side capacities
have increased
by 12 to 15%
(attachment
down/up).

conjunctionwith UK dealerWorsley Plant when it introduces the new Crossover screening bucket. This
is a concept that consists of a bucket frame that can be connected to different workmodules to allow
fast changes for different jobs. Threemodules are currently available – the blade screenmodule (SB) for
screening topsoil, the screener crusher (SC) for grinding lumpymaterial and the vibrating screen (SV) for
separating sand or other loose and drymaterials, and shakingwaste and dirt from recyclablematerial
