Part of a fleet of Doosan equipment, including two further crawler excavators, two articulated dump trucks (ADTs) and a wheeled loader, the DX350LC-7 is involved in cleaning and safety operations along 4km of the riverbed, to repair damage caused by the catastrophic Vaia Storm at the end of 2018.
The new DX350LC-7 has been purchased by Mingotti T. Srl, based in Tavagnacco in Udine, and supplied by DMO Spa, the authorised dealer for Doosan and Bobcat in the region. Mingotti T. Srl was contracted to carry out work repairing damage from the Vaia storm by the authorities in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
The scope of the operations extended from the confluence of the But creek with the Tagliamento in Cercivento (in the municipalities of Sutrio, Paluzza and Cercivento), involving repair of the damage caused by floods during the storm, rebuilding bank defences and the reprofiling of the bed of the creek. The new DX350LC-7 crawler excavator has been involved in moving 200,000m3 of material from the bed and laying over 5,000 tonnes of boulders for the construction and repair of the embankments.
The DX350LC-7 features Doosan's D-ECOPOWER technology, that is designed to improve productivity, offer more regular control of the machine and reduce fuel consumption. The D-ECOPOWER system uses nine sensors to detect the amount of hydraulic oil necessary to accomplish a specific task and precisely meter the amount of oil required rather than continuously forcing a fixed amount of oil through the system.
To meet Stage V engine emission regulations, the new DX350LC-7 excavator is powered by the latest generation Doosan DL08V diesel engine, providing 209 kW of power at 1800 RPM.
Francesco Mingotti, technical director at Mingotti T. Srl, commented: "There are several Doosan machines in our fleet, including the brand new DX350LC-7 excavator, all regularly maintained by the authorised DMO workshop. Year after year, our faith in the Doosan brand has increased and in DMO itself, which has always proved to be a reliable dealer. The efficiency of the technical assistance is particularly appreciated, which for us is an important added value."
