Increased versatility is offered by the new Doosan wheeled excavators

Aimed at the 14tonne and 16tonne classes, the new Doosan DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 wheeled excavators are said to offer major performance gains over the models being replaced. As with the firm’s new crawler excavators, new cabs provide a more comfortable working environment, with improved controls and ergonomics and in-cab noise levels that are reduced by 5dBA. Both machines are powered by the proven Doosan DL06KB diesel, which delivers a 2% increase in power to 102kW and a 12% increase in torque over the previ

High versatility is claimed for the new Doosan wheeled excavators
Aimed at the 14tonne and 16tonne classes, the new 695 Doosan DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 wheeled excavators are said to offer major performance gains over the models being replaced. As with the firm’s new crawler excavators, new cabs provide a more comfortable working environment, with improved controls and ergonomics and in-cab noise levels that are reduced by 5dBA. Both machines are powered by the proven Doosan DL06KB diesel, which delivers a 2% increase in power to 102kW and a 12% increase in torque over the previous engine. The engines meet Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim emission regulations and are equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) after-treatment. Other gains in performance are claimed too, compared to the previous generation machines. The main pump flow has increased by 8% and system pressure has risen to 350-370 kg/cm2. Bucket forces have been increased by 16% and arm forces by 6-16%, while lifting capacities have been boosted by 3-12% over the front of the excavators. The machines offer a 10% increase in traction force as well as a 9% reduction in fuel consumption in some operating cycles.

    February 13, 2013
    Hamm continues to develop its sophisticated soil compactor range with the addition of models aimed at the 11-16tonne weight classes. These are powered by Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB compliant diesels and share the same design concept as well as features and many components with the existing 18-15tonne rollers. The high compaction performance and unobstructed sight lines from the cab of the larger machines have also been carried over into the smaller units. The H11i, H13i and H16i compactors have 2.14m wide d

    Increased performance and more durable construction are key features of new generation excavators – Mike Woof writes. All the major equipment manufacturers are introducing new hydraulic excavators to meet market demand. These machines are offering increased output at the same time as producing lower emission levels and burning less fuel than before. From Caterpillar for instance comes its new 330F, which features a maximum operating weight of 29.75tonnes and is powered by a 178kW Cat C7.1 ACERT diesel that
