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%.
The new L230 skid-steer loader and C238 compact track loader being launched by New Holland Construction (NHC) at bauma are said to maintain the compact dimensions of their predecessors while delivering more rated operating capacity, more engine and hydraulic power, and more torque. The models are also said to offer best-in-class dump height and reach with New Holland’s patented SuperBoom. Replacing the L225 and C232, the L230 and C238 feature a 67kW turbocharged Stage IIIA engine, said to enable it to compe
Hamm is widening its range of HD+ asphalt compactors to no less than 24 machines in all. Nine new models competing in the 7tonne and 8tonne classes are being added to the line-up, and which share the large, high visibility and ergonomic cabs with the existing machines in the HD+ range. Customers now have an array of choices from Hamm for the 7-14tonne asphalt compactor market, to suit particular applications or duties. Marketing director Gottfried Beer said, “For us it is important to offer the complete lin

Two new short radius excavators are being introduced by Case Construction Equipment at INTERMAT. The Japanese-built CX235C SR and a prototype CX145C SR use low emission Isuzu engines with cooled EGR and a DPF to meet stage IIIB emissions requirements, and Case reckoned the new engines provide a 17.5% fuel consumption improvement over previous models, while simultaneously delivering up to 7% cent faster cycle times.
