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, the DX210WMH. Previously, dealers converted Doosan crawler excavators or wheel excava- tors into material- handling machines. Each model is based on a proven and tested excava- tor model, factory fitted with cab risers for increased visibility, straight boom and droop nose arm for opti- mal performance and improved machine guarding for maximum uptime. Straight booms improve reach and lift height for better material placement, while droop nose arms provide good grapple clearance and enhanced access into containers, trucks and railcars. Features such as dual-boom cylinders and under-mount arm cylinder placement provide excellent lifting capabilities for Doosan material handler operators. Telematics is standard for all three Doosan material handlers, and includes a three- year subscription Doosan material handlers can be paired with a grapple for material handling applications. The 360-degree hydraulic rotating four-tine grapples feature a semi-closed tine design, allow- ing a firm grasp on most materials. A 5/8-cubic-yard grapple is approved for use with the DX210WMH and the DX225MH-3, while a 1-cubic-yard grapple is approved for use with the DX300MH-5. Four power modes are available for the Doosan DX225MH-3 and DX300MH-5 material handlers. In addition to the power modes, the Doosan DX225MH-3 and DX300MH-5 material handlers have a lifting work mode. The lifting mode is ideal for Doosan material handlers because it provides increased pump torque, low engine RPMs and an automatic power boost. For more information visit www.doosanequipment.com
