Since its launch a few years back Doosan’s 10T excavator the DX100W-7 10.7 tonne wheeled excavator has climbed the popularity ladder especially within the realm of urban construction projects and road maintenance. The DX100W excavator has become one of the most highly sought excavators within the 10 tonne excavator for hire market due to the incredible compromise the machine offers between compactness and agility, not to mention the level of comfort which is nothing short of being high-end which naturally supports productivity.
Operators who have experienced the comfort of the machine add without hesitation that the machine is designed in such a way that it is able to perform superbly in areas that are restricted or congested despite its weight category. According to Doosan, this particular model is capable of being equipped with an optional four-wheel steering or ‘crabbing’ mode apart from the standard two-wheel steering configuration. Another factor that makes the latest Doosan 10T excavator model stand out compared to other excavators within its class is the 1.35 tonne counterweight which enhances the stability of the machine significantly when it involves lifting work. Coupled with the machine’s articulated boom and longer arm, the DX100W excavator enables operators to operate a larger working range compared to other machines within the 10T category.
Apart from the above, the design of the articulated boom enables the operator to position the DX100W-7 10T excavator closer to trucks during loading compared to most other 10T excavators. The design also optimizes the lifting capacity and digging force of the machine exponentially. The machine has a travelling height of 4m which easily satisfies the requirement in most countries for wheeled excavators.
Other notable aspect of the latest 10T excavator model by Doosan is the ROPS cab. The cab is fitted with a standard seat that could be deemed as ‘premium’ compared to other standard excavator seats. There is also an above average sized touch screen that makes it easy for operators to control the digital aspects of the machine. From a safety angle, the manufacturer offers an optional 360° all-around view camera that is directly connected to an ultrasonic detection system.
Other features within the cab includes Hands-free and Bluetooth system (DAB audio system), LED work lights (standard), parallel wiper system, a thumbwheel joystick, and dedicated pumps for both transmission and front equipment. The hydraulic system uses high flow which enables the machine to be fitted with a whole range of hydraulic attachments. This particular model is also equipped with two additional pumps that provide independent hydraulic flows to power hydraulic attachments on the front end and for the transmission.
The Doosan DX100W-7 10T excavator is fitted with the robust D-34 engine which apparently according to the manufacturer exceeds the Stage V regulations. These machines are popular among a contractor which is among the reasons as to why most construction equipment rental companies have a few of these excavators’ models readily available for hire. Among the 10T excavators, the Doosan DX100W-7 10T excavator is certainly a winner.
