Doosan Bobcat has designed its new DX165W-5 wheeled excavator to be versatile
695 Doosan 1130 Bobcat’s new 16.5tonne DX165W-5 wheeled excavator is a short tail swing machine designed for use in compact sites. The machine is also Stage IV compliant and suits duties in urban areas or alongside narrow roads with heavy traffic.

It has a short swing radius of 1.85m and is said to offer good stability and weight distribution. The firm claims that the machine provides precise, powerful and smooth digging control as well as low fuel consumption and easy servicing. The DX165W-5 is built with the proven undercarriage as used for the DX160W-3 model. Power comes from a 299 Perkins diesel that features EGR and SCR emissions after-treatment and delivers 102.1kW. A smart power control (SPC) monitors both engine and pump power and limits unnecessary output.

The large cab is said to offer good all-round visibility as well as ergonomic controls and a colour monitor displaying operating parameters. Options include an articulated boom, short and long arms, twin or single tyres and additional hydraulic lines.
