Doosan’s DX140LCR-3 excavator
695 Doosan says that its new DX140LCR-3 excavator meets an increasing demand for reduced radius machines. This versatile unit can be used on urban, utility, highway, rail, bridge and other confined space construction sites. The firm claims the machine is designed to offer productivity, comfort, reliability, durability and reduced operating costs. The new DX140LCR-3 excavator is powered by the 196 Cummins QSB 4.5 common rail, four cylinder turbocharged diesel engine featuring the latest evolution in maintenance-free Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) after-treatment technology to meet Stage IIIB engine emission regulations. The engine runs at 2200 RPM and delivers 11% more power, with 81kW and 10% more torque (compared to the previous Stage IIIA compliant DX140LCR model, delivering up to a 5% increase in the productivity to fuel consumption ratio, depending on the operating mode selected and the work being undertaken. Arm and bucket forces have been increased by up to 8% along with the travel speed which can now reach 3.2 and 5.3 km/h in the low and high range, respectively. With the counterweight increased by 400kg to 3.5tonnes, the lifting capacities for the new DX140LCR-3 excavator have also been boosted by up to 7%.
LiuGong Machinery Corporation is showing its line of dozers at INTERMAT. The three dozers are manufactured in the company’s newly-acquired plant in Poland following the recent acquisition of HSW (Huta Stalowa Wola) Dressta, a company noted for bulldozer technology. This is the first time the dozers are being presented as part of LiuGong and they include the TD-14M with an operating weight of 15,550kg and a blade capacity of 4.28m³; the TD-20M (operating weight 23,650kg and a blade capacity of 8.45 m³) and t
Perkins will showcase a complete line-up of Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engine solutions at Bauma, ahead of the new legislation next year. The four cylinder 854F-E34TA will demonstrate much of the technology on offer, as it uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with an exhaust additive, plus a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Both Perkins’ 3.4 and 4.4-litre engine lines make do without a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), though the larger 7 litre will use a DPF as well.

Dressta is offering improved versions of its 560E and 555C Extra wheeled loaders, with new Cummins diesels. Power for the larger 560E Extra now comes from a Cummins QSX15 diesel rated at 319kW, compared with the 310kW of the previous engine in this machine. The six cylinder Cummins engine drives through a torque converter, a three-speed, full powershift, countershaft transmission, front and rear axle drives and conventional differentials.
