Doosan builds in new performance and safety features to ADTs
Doosan Construction Equipment has launched upgraded versions of its DA30 and DA40 articulated dump trucks, with new features targeting vehicle performance in hauling applications in sectors including quarrying, mining, construction.
New features include a levelling meter developed to meet new safety requirements in the quarry industry, which uses sensors to warn drivers if it is unsafe to move forward or in reverse.
The system uses rotation sensors installed on the front and body of the truck to show drivers a graphical readouts on the control panel, warning them to stop if there is a danger of turning the body of the truck over.
Focusing on improved performance, Doosan has developed a new payload and cycle count meter, utilising load sensors on the front and body sections of the machine, which provide an immediate readout on the cab’s control monitor of the payload with an accuracy of +/- 5%.
The load is registered and counted in the Vehicle Control Unit if the weighing value is at least 3.0 tonne.
To avoid more than one registration per load the next registration is not possible before the vehicle has travelled more than 50 m or after a timeout of 3 minutes. The data can be downloaded to a USB stick or sent through GPS.
Other features are an improved fault detection systems with a higher visibility displays on the dashboard, and Lexan headlight guards for improved protection when working on applications in poor light or at night.
Both ADTs have a completely new cab providing more space and improved visibility for the operator, ‘best in class’ noise levels and a fully automatic climate control system.
Doosan builds two ADT models, the max 28,000kg payload DA30, which produces 268 kW @ 2,100 RPM and has a SAE heaped body capacity of 18 m³, and the DA40, with a max payload of 40,000 kg and a SAE heaped body capacity of 24.4 m³, with engine output of 398 kW @ 2,100 RPM.
The vehicles are built with components from suppliers that include Scania, ZF, NAF and Parker.
