This new Doosan mini excavator features a reduced tail swing profile — just 4.9 inches of side overhang — that allows customers to work in confined areas with more flexibility to maneuver and without sacrificing performance. The addition of the DX62R-3 mini excavator expands the model options within the compact market segment for Doosan customers.

The design of the DX62R-3 utilizes the basics of the existing Doosan mini-excavator and builds on it by adjusting the positioning of the excavator upper structure to the undercarriage to reduce tail swing length. Moving the swing center forward extends the machine’s digging reach by 11 inches while maintaining the desired machine balance. Reduced tail swing machines require less repositioning when operating, helping the operator work more efficiently.

This model is the answer for customers who need to work within urban environments where space is limited. The DX62R-3 is ideal for a variety of jobs in landscaping, utilities, and commercial and residential construction.

Aaron Kleingartner, Doosan Infracore North America marketing manager says:

“We realize that not every customer has the luxury of space when working on a job site, so we wanted to create a quality option for those situations. This model will be an ideal companion to our existing excavator lineup to ensure that all needs are met.”

This new Doosan excavator size allows for easier transportation, especially for small- to mid-size contractors who perform light excavation projects, such as digging residential basements or commercial building footings. This model reduces the need to obtain a special transport permit when moving to and from job sites. The width and combined weight between the machine, trailer and Class 7 towing vehicle meet current transportation requirements. Owners should still check local requirements when transporting equipment.

“Load ratings vary from state to state, so owners still need to check federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding weight, width, length, and height of a load before making preparations to transport their machine on public roads, bridges, highways, and interstates,”
