A burst of technology brings intelligent
control to mid-sized machines
Powered by a
183.7-net-horse-
power engine, the
26.2-metric-ton
Doosan DX255LC-5
features four work
modes, auto idle
and auto shutdown.
When turning, push-
ing or maneuvering,
auto downshift re-
duces hydraulic flow
to the drive system
to improve machine
responsiveness and
controllability. An
X-chassis undercar-
riage and D-channel
frame design provide
increased ground
clearance and
greater resistance to
side shock.
