The Da30 and DA40 ADTS from Doosan offer a number of improvements that boost safety and fuel efficiency while also allowing more effective fleet monitoring
695 Doosan is offering increased performance for its DA30 and DA40 ADTs, boosting productivity in earthmoving as well as extraction operations. New features include a levelling meter developed to meet increased safety requirements in the quarry industry will help to raise the safety bar even further.

The system uses rotation sensors installed on the front and body of the truck which provide a graphical readout on the control panel. This tells the driver whether or not it is safe to drive the truck forward and also gives a warning to stop if there is a danger of turning the body of the truck over. 

The improved performance monitoring and fault detection system helps cut maintenance costs and reduce downtime while the firm’s new payload and cycle count meter uses load sensors on the front and body sections of the machine to provide an immediate readout of payload. This has an accuracy of +/- 5% and the load is registered and counted in the vehicle control unit if the weighing value is at least 3tonnes.  To prevent more than one registration/ load the next registration is not possible before the vehicle has travelled more than 50m or after a timeout of three minutes. The payload is recorded as a total as well as for certain periods or hauls and the data can be downloaded to a USB memory stick or sent as an attachment by GPS. 

To reduce fuel consumption an economy mode controls the engine rated speed automatically when activated and is particularly suited to use on long distance haul roads.  The new improved powertrain and electronics on the DA30 and DA40 models allows Doosan to decrease the rated speed for the engine, and work with optimal power and torque to further improve fuel efficiency.

  • Cat’s 988K delivers increased loading capability
    April 17, 2013
    Caterpillar’s seventh generation 988 wheeled loader – the 988K – is powered by a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Cat C18 ACERT diesel engine, featuring selective catalytic reduction and delivering 362kW. The engine is said to deliver a 20% fuel efficiency benefit compared to the 988H, thanks in part to an ECO mode with on-demand throttle, auto idle and engine idle kickdown/auto resume system. The 50tonne machine moves away from its predecessor’s monoboom loader arm design in favour of a Z-bar linkage.

  • High performance, high mobility of wheeled pavers
    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and

    From Bell Equipment comes a special version of its B30 truck in the shape of a 4x4 version of the B30D. Introduced as part of the firm’s VersaTruck programme, the 4x4 version of the B30D has been developed for a range of applications such as use in underground tunnel construction and underground mining, or quarrying. The shorter rear chassis and single rear axle means that the truck is able to manoeuvre in tighter spaces than the conventional B30 machine, suiting it to applications such as underground opera
