P art of the popular 8 tonne class of excavators, the DX85R-3 comes standard with rubber tracks to minimise ground disturbance. It is a powerful machine with bucket force and is light enough to be easily moved between worksites. Its reduced tail swing design allows operators to work in tight spaces and its excellent slew performance makes it an ideal machine for working on slopes. The DX85R-3 offers what the company calls best-in-class cycle times due to its cylinders, which are sized to match pump capacities. It offers smooth, predictable operation with fingertip boom swing control via a thumb switch on the left joystick. The comfortable joystick controls reduce hand fatigue and include two way auxiliary hydraulic controls. Inside the cab, a multi-language deluxe colour panel displays fuel level, coolant temperature, day/ time, throttle position and engine rpm. Operators can select auxiliary hydraulic flow modes and rates from the panel. For increased security, an integrated password protection system may be used to help prevent theft. Doosan Construction Equipment will display the DX85R-3 compact excavator at The American Rental Association Show in Anaheim, California from 17-20 February 2019. n Visit: www.doosanequipment.eu The DX85R-3 offers what the company calls best-in-class cycle times due to its cylinders HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS FEBRUARY 2019 P59 EQUIPMENT
