The DX140W has an Electronic Power Optimizing system that maximizes both power and fuel effi ciency with four work modes (digging, breaker, shear and lifting), as well as an auto-idle. Doosan has included a new electronic fan clutch that reduces fuel consump- tion and noise while improving the cooling system. An enhanced ROPS cab includes a tilt function for the seat, lockable door window position slider, larger door, expanded cabin size, improved joystick angle and an internal coil spring that reduces cabin vibration by 20 percent.

The units are available in loader or forklift truck-mounted options and provide capacities ranging from 5,500 to 36,000 pounds. The two new models – the TH20K167 and TH36K164 – offer 20,000 and 36,000 pounds of capacity, respec- tively. Design enhancements include an optimized pad design that features a new grip pattern and tapering, enabling a fi rm grip on the tire without damage; increased arm length that allows the TireHand to reach the back fl ange on the wheels; a minimized arm profi le that reduces interference with chassis components; dual pinion pad rotation that reduces pinion stress while increasing life; and 100-degree cylinder body rotation that moves the center of gravity closer to the machine, allow- ing a smaller loader to be used. Integrated fallback protection arms are hydraulically controlled for easy operation and improved operator safety. The feature can be activated from the control panel or a remote control. Options include quick coupler attachments, fully proportional controls and a mounted camera. Text INFO to 205-289-3715 or visit www.eqwinfo.com EquipmentWorld.com | November 2012 15 EDITOR'S PICK
