UK-based demolition company Wring Group, has bought the first Doosan DX700LC 70 tonne crawler excavator for use in the demolition industry.
The machine was supplied by the local authorised Doosan dealer, but modified to accommodate a longer, 37m arm.
Kocurek of Ipswich, which describes itself a bespoke supplier of front-end equipment for hydraulic excavators, refurbished the 37m long arm, which had previously carried by a 65-tonne base unit in the Wring fleet.
The new high-reach excavator will be the largest of the four high-reach excavators used by Wring.
Dean Wring, director of the Wring Group, said that the service received by the Doosan dealer, and performance of newly- purchased DX380LC and DX225LC excavators played a key part in the purchasing decision.
“Our continued investment in specialist equipment means we own one of the UK’s biggest, most advanced demolition fleets with a complement of over 55 excavators and standard and high reach demolition rigs from 0.75 – 90 tonne and up to 37m reach, enabling us to undertake all manner of demolition and dismantling contracts.”
The DX700LC excavator is the largest model in the Doosan range. The long carriage (LC) design, in combination with the undercarriage expanded to its maximum working width of 4000mm, provides a high level of stability. The machine is also the most fuel efficient 70-tonne class excavator in the Middle East.
