Doosan Launches the DX380DM-7, the Third Model in the Company’s New High Reach Demolition Excavator Range

Doosan Infracore Europe has launched the DX380DM-7, the third model in the company’s new High Reach Demolition Excavator range, joining the existing DX235DM and DX530DM models launched last year.

The DX380DM-7 also retains a hydraulically adjustable undercarriage, which extends to a maximum width of 4.37 m to provide optimum stability when working on demolition sites.

Impressive Demolition Specifications

Operating from the high visibility, tiltable cab on the DX380DM-7, the operator has an excellent environment particularly suited to high-reach demolition applications, with a 30-degree tilting angle. The maximum pin height of the demolition boom on the DX380DM-7 is 23 m.

The DX380DM-7 also retains a hydraulically adjustable undercarriage, which extends to a maximum width of 4.37 m to provide optimum stability when working on demolition sites. The width of the undercarriage can be retracted hydraulically to 2.97 m in the narrow width position, for transporting the machine. The adjusting mechanism is based on a permanently lubricated, internal cylinder design which minimizes resistance during the movement and helps to prevent damage to the components.

Like all Doosan demolition excavators, standard safety features include a FOGS cab guard, safety valves for the boom, intermediate boom and arm cylinders, and a stability warning system.

Multi-Boom Design for Increased Flexibility

In common with the other models in the High Reach range, the DX380DM-7 provides increased flexibility with a modular boom design and hydraulic lock mechanism. This innovative design facilitates an easy change between a demolition boom and an earthmoving boom to accomplish different types of work on the same project, using the same machine.

The multi-boom design also allows the earthmoving boom to be mounted in two different ways, which with the demolition boom, provides further flexibility with a total of three different configurations for the same base machine.

A special stand is provided to facilitate the boom changing operation, which is based on quick-change hydraulic and mechanical coupler connections. A cylinder-based system is used to push the locking pins into place to help complete the procedure.

When equipped with the digging boom in the straight configuration, the DX380DM-7 can work to a maximum height of 10.43 m.
