Compact performance

Doosan is aiming its versatile DX235LCR versatile short tailswing excavator squarely at the growing market for reduced radius machines. However despite its compact size, the machine features a long undercarriage to maximise its stability. The swing diameter is under 4m, 1,070mm less than that of the conventional chassis DX225LC. Power comes from a six cylinder Doosan diesel rated at 123kW and digging force over the bucket is 14.2tonnes, while use of the power boost feature increases the forces by some 5%, w

Doosan's productive 24tonne DX235LCR crawler excavator is designed for jobs such as repair work on roads and highways where a reduced radius is important to minimise disturbance to traffic flow
695 Doosan is aiming its versatile DX235LCR versatile short tailswing excavator squarely at the growing market for reduced radius machines. However despite its compact size, the machine features a long undercarriage to maximise its stability. The swing diameter is under 4m, 1,070mm less than that of the conventional chassis DX225LC. Power comes from a six cylinder Doosan diesel rated at 123kW and digging force over the bucket is 14.2tonnes, while use of the power boost feature increases the forces by some 5%, which the firm claims is the highest of any excavator in this class.

The machine features two travel speed ranges with a maximum speed in low range of 3.1km/h and a maximum speed of 5.8 km/h in high range. An auto idle feature lowers engine speed if the excavator functions are not used four seconds.

The engine then returns to the pre-set throttle position when the operator moves a joystick or a travel function.

The auxiliary hydraulic flow and pressure allow the use of all conventional attachments available on the market. The machine also has a large cab, with ergonomic controls and instrumentation, as well as a rear view camera and a straight travel pedal for trenching.
