Three hard-hitting machines turn waste into profits

Spring 2014

Doosan has introduced three new material handlers and four-tine grapples to further increase its presence in the solid waste and recycling industries.

The first model being launched in North America is the DX225MH-3 material handler. Additional material handlers will include a larger model with steel tracks, the DX300MH-5, and a wheel model, theDX210WMH.

For the first time, Doosan is building machines specifically for material sorting and handling applications. Previously, dealers converted Doosan crawler excavators or wheel excavators into material handling machines.

Built for demanding applications Doosan material handlers were developed to meet the demands of material handling professionals by dedicated in-house product engineering support. Each material handler is based on a proven and tested excavator model, factory-fitted withthe following:

• Cab risers: increase visibility to work areaStraight boom: improves reach and lift height for better material placement
• Droop nose arm: delivers good grapple clearance and enhanced access into containersMachine guarding: offers uptime protection
• Dual-boom cylinders: provide excellent lifting capabilities

Risers = visibility

From the elevated cab, operators have good visibility to the attachment and work areas that are unique to the material handling industry. Standard fixed cab risers for the DX225MH-3 are 4 feet tall, and 6 feet tall for the larger DX300MH-5. Available as a factory-installed option on the DX225MH-3 is a 6-foot-tall fixed cab riser. Fixed risers can easily be lowered for transport with a self-contained,electronically powered hydraulic system.

Available as an option for the DX225MH-3 and DX300MH-5 is a 6.5-foot-tall hydraulic cab riser. The 6.5-foot hydraulic cab riser is standardequipment for the DX210WMH. A hydraulic cab riser allows the operatorto efficiently raise and lower the cab as needed for increased visibility when loading trucks or railcars.

Grab and go

To maximize their versatility and productivity, Doosan material handlers can be paired with a grapple for material handling applications. A 5/8-cubic-yard grapple is approved for use with theDX210WMH and the DX225MH-3, while a 1-cubic-yard grapple is approved for use with the DX300MH-5. The hydraulic four-tine grapples rotate 360 degrees and feature a semi-closed tine design, allowinga firm grasp on most materials. The tines are designed with AR400 high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel for increased durability, and the tine tips are replaceable for easier maintenance.

Operating modes

Four power modes are available for the Doosan DX225MH-3 and DX300MH-5 material handlers: Power+ mode, Power mode, Standard Power mode and Economy mode.

Additionally, the DX225MH-3 and DX300MH-5 material handlers have aLifting work mode. The Lifting mode is ideal for Doosan material handlers because it provides increased pump torque, low engine rpm and an automatic power boost.

The DX210WMH is available with three selectable power modes: Power, Standard Power and Economy.
