We are impressed with the structural design of these machines, which enables safe and efficient operation in tough African conditions,” says Ross Collard, Managing Director, HPE Africa. New to DISA Equipment’s Doosan range in 2022, is the 22-ton DX225LCA-7M excavator series, which offers high performance on every job site, with advanced features for higher productivity and improved fuel efficiency. “Doosan’s new DX225LC-7M electrically controlled engine (Common Rail) has proven to reduce fuel efficiency by up to 12%, with the new Smart Power Control (SPC) function that allows smart communication between the Engine Control Unit (ECU) torque and hydraul ic pump torque signals,” says Darrel Holton, Managing Director, DISA Equipment. “The DL06 engine also has Smart Engine Speed Control , which is carried out by the ECU picking up the exact amount of hydraul ic load by the hydraul ic flow sensors and to communicate the required engine RPM for hydraul ic breakout force. Engine RPM will thus increase with a heavy load and decrease with a lower load, to ensure a much smoother and fuel-efficient engine operation.” This new machine also offers the DoosanCONNECT service, which provides relevant machine information including its location, operational conditions and util isation, to ensure that customers are always connected and up to speed with their machines working on site.” Doosan machines have proven to offer the most cost- efficient and dependable overall performance available
