Miller Plant
Limited, based at Inverurie in Aberdeenshire in Scotland, has purchased new
Doosan crawler excavators and a new Doosan wheel loader from Balgownie Ltd, the
local Authorised Doosan and Bobcat dealer.
Balgownie has
supplied new Doosan DX225LC-5 22 tonne and DX255LC-5 25 tonne excavators and a
new DL420-5 wheel loader to Miller Plant.
Alan Miller,
Managing Director of Miller Plant, said: “We are very happy with the new Doosan
machines – they make a good range of excavators, wheel loaders and dump
trucks.
"Another
important aspect is the service available from Balgownie, who arranged a very
attractive package for the machines that includes 5-year warranty.
"As they are
doing more than 60 hours a week each, the machines come with the peace of mind
that is provided by 5-year warranty cover and Balgownie’s always fast response
to our requests and service support.”
Meeting the latest
Stage IV emission regulations, the Doosan DX255LC-5 offers enhanced comfort and
controllability together with new features to boost uptime and return on
investment, with a focus on increased power, robustness and agility. This
unparalleled level of excellence is signified by a distinctive new machine
styling scheme that is common to all new Doosan ‘-5’ machines.
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.
With a bucket
capacity of 4.5 m3, the DL420-5 is
powered by the Scania DC13 6-cylinder engine producing 254 kW (345 HP) of power
at 1800 rpm. Providing generous torque at low rpm, up to a 10% reduction
in fuel consumption and excellent response, the Scania engine meets Stage IV emission
regulations without the need of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), through the
use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalyst reduction
(SCR) after-treatment technologies.
Powered by the
well-proven 6-cylinder, turbocharged Doosan DL06P water-cooled diesel engine,
providing a high power output of 124 kW (166 HP) at 1800 RPM, the DX225LC-5
combines plenty of power with high torque at a lower RPM, ensuring smoother,
higher torque performance and longevity than some competitors using 4-cylinder
engines which run at higher revs. In addition, the DX225LC-5 offers very
good performance levels in terms of speed, power and stability, especially the
traction force and slew torque which are much higher than those in other
machines, while also delivering extra lifting capacity. Machine noise
(2000/14/EC, ISO 6395) has been reduced by 1 dBA.
All three of the new
Doosan machines at Miller plant are factory-installed with the new
DoosanConnect state-of-the-art wireless fleet monitoring system.
