The crew is impressed with the performance of the new Next Gen platform and says the fuel saving is noticeable. Sold by Mark Costello from Terra Cat.
DOOSAN FOR NAB CONTRACTING NAB Contracting’s Nick has added a Doosan DX140 to his fleet to assist with pretty much everything on site. Bush guarded and compliant and fitted with Doherty tilt bucket, thumb and ripper and Ensign 1100 grapple, he says the extra weight has been no issue for performance. Nick says he was impressed and surprised with the performance and lift. Even with being a smaller machine it has the capability of lifting 5 axle trailers off, he says. It will be mainly performing maintenance tasks around the skid and roading sites.
