Doosan has introduced two new road-building machines based on its DX300LL-5 and DX380LL-5 log loaders. They’re outfitted with a package of features for clearing paths and building access roads for other machines and trucks to use. The excavator-boomed units can also be adapted to any related task with the appropriate attachments. Doosan mentions demolition, mill work, and timber harvesting, just to name a few applications the machines can tackle.

Standard & Optional Features

The DX300LL-5 and DX380LL-5 combine log loader frames with excavator cabs, booms, and arms. They have a high, wide undercarriage to clear stumps and brush. Doosan outfits the pair with full-length guiding guards to protect their tracks from branches and debris.

A forestry cab is an optional replacement for the DX300LL-5’s and DX380LL-5’s enclosed excavator cab. Extra cab guarding is also available. Both machines support DoosanCONNECT Telematics for wireless reporting of their locations and status.

Suitable Doosan attachments include a hydraulic quick coupler, a hydraulic thumb, heavy-duty and severe-duty buckets, and a ditch-cleaning bucket.
