Doosan excavators put to the test
Winter 2012
The cover story of the June 2011 issue of Construction Equipment® magazine featured a Field Test titled, "The Long and Short of Excavator Design." The Field Test compared a Doosan Reduced Tail Swing DX235LCR with a Conventional Tail Swing DX225LC.
Editor Walt Moore worked with Doosan and two operators to perform a series of tests to compare the two Doosan crawler excavators. The tests were done at the Doosan Real Operation Center (ROC) near Tucson, Ariz., where Moore measured the excavators based on common applications: trenching, truck loading and lifting. He also evaluated the excavator's swing-speed and fuel consumption.
You can read the Field Test in its entirety in the printed or PDF versions of DoMORE magazine. Read about the test operators, see pictures of the Doosan excavators while they were being evaluated and see results of the tests to show which excavator performed better.
