Scottish Doosan dealer Balgownie has supplied new Doosan DX225LC-5 22tonne and DX255LC-5 25tonne excavators and a new DL420-5 wheeled loader to Miller Plant.

Miller Plant offers services from bulk earthworks and contract crushing and screening to plant hire, site clearance, demolition, aggregate supply and heavy haulage and tipper hire. As the machines will do more than 60 hours a week each, they come with a peace-of-mind five-year warranty and Balgownie’s fast response to requests and service support.

Meeting the latest Stage IV emissions regulations, the 695 Doosan DX255LC-5 excavator offers comfort and controllability with a focus on increased power, robustness and agility. While overall dimensions are similar to the previous DX255LC-3 model, the DX255LC-5 Stage IV combines greater power with a 500kg increase in operating weight. This results in up to 17% more lifting capacity over both the front and side and a 1dBA reduction in sound levels.

Powered by the well-proven 6-cylinder, turbocharged Doosan DL06P watercooled diesel engine, providing a high power output of 124kW at 1800 RPM, the DX225LC-5 combines plenty of power with high torque at a lower RPM, ensuring smoother, higher torque performance and longevity than some competitors using 4-cylinder engines which run at higher revs.

In addition, the DX225LC-5 offers very good performance levels in terms of speed, power and stability, especially the traction force and slew torque which are much higher than those in other machines, while also delivering extra lifting capacity. Machine noise (2000/14/EC, ISO 6395) has been reduced by 1dBA.

With a bucket capacity of 4.5m3, the DL420-5 is powered by the 759 Scania DC13 6-cylinder engine producing 254 kW at 1800rpm. It provides generous torque at low rpm and up to a 10% reduction in fuel consumption while meeting Stage IV emissions regulations without the need of a diesel particulate filter. Instead, it uses cooled exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalyst reduction aftertreatment technologies.

All three machines are factory-installed with the new DoosanConnect state-of-the-art wireless fleet monitoring system.
