2013 Doosan DH225-9

Twelve years of service and still on the job — that is the plainest argument any used excavator can make. This 2013 Doosan DH225-9 has worked quarries, roadbeds and bulk earthmoving sites across Fujian, China, and it has held up where lighter 20-ton machines fold under the load.

• 22-ton operating weight — a size class that handles mass excavation, trenching and site prep without a second machine on the job.
• Backhoe bucket setup — standard digging configuration, with wear parts and attachments available off the shelf.
• Traditional power plant — mechanical simplicity over electronics, serviceable by any competent diesel mechanic.
• Joint venture / import build — the licensed manufacturing and component quality that made the -9 series a fleet staple.

Fujian is hard on equipment: coastal humidity, salt air, heavy rain seasons. A DH225-9 that has survived that climate and remains production-ready is not a lucky unit — it is a well-built one. Undercarriage, pins and bushings, and hydraulic seals have all been inspected. Buyers who want a proven workhorse rather than a gamble are welcome to inspect at our Fujian yard; worldwide shipping can be arranged.
