Digging the New Doosan’s
These machines feature a new global styling which is being rolled out across the entire Dash-7 range of Doosan mini excavators. The manufacturer suggests that the new platform design and all new upper structures, will provide increased durability and robustness
Both these machines are powered by Doosan’s D17 Stage V-compliant diesel engine providing 18.4 kW (24.7 HP) of power at 2400 and 2200 RPM, respectively, in the DX27Z-7 and DX35Z-7.
Newly designed cast counterweights are said to ensure ‘excellent’ balance and stability when working, while long arm options, especially popular in the UK, are available for both models with 60 and 100kg additional counterweights, respectively.
The new Doosan mini-excavator range features as standard the latest version 3.0 of the DoosanCONNECT system, which provides a telematics management system by collecting data from sensors on the machines. The DX27Z-7 and DX35Z-7 mini-excavators are the smallest machines in the Doosan range with this system.
A DX27Z-7 was on display at Hillhead earlier this year, and I got to visit a prototype model on site in Wales before that, which I will be reporting on in a future edition of Earthmovers Magazine.
