Doosan DX235LCR‑5 Crawler Excavator

Overview:

The Doosan DX235LCR‑5 features a compact, reduced-tail swing design (nearing zero swing), making it the perfect solution for operations near buildings, rail lines, or congested sites—especially where minimal overhang is essential . Despite its reduced rear footprint, the long carriage undercarriage delivers excellent digging and lifting performance in heavy-duty conditions.

Key Features:

  • Engine & Emissions:
    Powered by the Doosan DL06P high-pressure common-rail diesel engine (Tier 4 Final / Stage IV compliant), paired with cooled EGR, DOC, and SCR aftertreatment systems for clean and efficient operation.

  • Smart Power Control (SPC):
    Combines variable speed control and pump torque control to improve fuel efficiency by up to 7% while maintaining peak productivity in various work conditions.

  • Work Modes & Auto-Idle:
    Offers four selectable work modes—Standard, Power, Economy, and SPC-based digging mode—plus user-configurable auto-shutdown timers for idle times between 3 and 60 minutes to save fuel.

  • Operator’s Cabin:
    Includes a spacious, air-conditioned cab with an adjustable suspension seat, intuitive joystick controls, high-visibility windows, and ample storage. A new 7-inch color LCD monitor integrates machine diagnostics, flow-rate controls, and live rear-view camera feed with split-screen support.

  • Durability & Maintenance:
    Built with a reinforced superstructure, wear-resistant bushing and hardened wear disks, and sealed & lubricated track links to maximize uptime and reduce routine maintenance costs. Comes standard with a 3-year subscription to Doosan Telematics for remote machine monitoring and maintenance planning.
