New Doosan & Bobcat Equipment at Hillhead 2016

Doosan Bobcat EMEA will be showing a wide range of new generation products from the company’s Doosan Heavy, Doosan Portable Power and Bobcat ranges for the first time at the Hillhead 2016 Exhibition from 28-30 June 2016.    This includes the first showing of the flagship DX530LC-5 52 tonne Stage IV compliant excavator, where the phenomenal stability and very wide digging platform are combined with the best in class lifting capacities over both the front and side, with the lifting capacity over the side being increased by an impressive 12%.    Doosan will also show the new DX255LC-5 25 tonne crawler excavator for the first time at Hillhead. Whilst overall dimensions are very similar to the previous DX255LC-3 model, the DX255LC-5 Stage IV excavator combines greater power with a 500 kg increase in operating weight, resulting in increases of up to 17% in lifting capacities over both the front and side and a 1 dBA reduction in sound levels.    The top-of-the-range DL550-5 wheel loader will be demonstrated for the first time in the UK. Like the DX530LC-5, it is powered by the Scania DC13 engine, which provides generous torque at low rpm, up to a 10% reduction in fuel consumption, excellent response and meets Stage IV emission regulations without the need of a diesel particulate filter.    The same engine powers the new Stage IV DL420-5 wheel loader on the stand, which like the DL550-5 is intended to meet a wide range of material-handling needs from loading and transporting granular material (such as sand and gravel) to industrial, mining and quarrying applications.
