Why Choose Used Doosan Excavators?
Doosan excavators are widely recognized for their superior performance and reliability. They're equipped with powerful engines that deliver high productivity, making them suitable for heavy-duty excavation tasks. The machines are built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction sites—whether it's extreme temperatures, dust, or vibrations, these excavators are designed to keep going.
New Doosan excavators can range from 60,000 to 80,000 for compact models like the DX55, and prices climb significantly for larger machines. This means there's a used Doosan excavator for nearly every project size and budget.
When you buy used, you get proven reliability at a fraction of the cost. Doosan's fuel efficiency, durability, and low maintenance requirements mean you'll save money over the life of the machine. Many used units with 3,000–5,000 hours still have plenty of productive years left. We've helped buyers find used DX225LC and DX300LC models in excellent condition—saving tens of thousands compared to new.

Doosan DX Series Excavator Features
Doosan excavators are packed with technology that makes operators more productive. The D-ECOPOWER technology utilizes an electronic pressure-controlled pump within a closed centre hydraulic system to accomplish up to a 10% improvement in fuel consumption, depending on the power mode selected. This smart hydraulic system controls oil flow to be optimized for the specific task at hand.
The DX225LC-5 is powered by the well-proven 6-cylinder, turbocharged Doosan DL06P water-cooled diesel engine. New innovative and exclusive features have been introduced providing an overall 9% increase in fuel efficiency compared to previous models. The Smart Power Control (SPC) system optimizes the balance between the pumps' output and the diesel engine for maximum efficiency.
The operator cab is designed with comfort in mind. The cabs are spacious, so you don't feel cramped even during long hours of operation. The seats are adjustable and ergonomic, providing excellent support to reduce fatigue. Large windows and strategically placed mirrors give the operator a clear view of the work area, which is crucial for safety and efficiency.
Doosan excavators also come with DoosanCONNECT (now DEVELON Fleet Management), a state-of-the-art wireless fleet and asset management system that provides comprehensive information about machine performance. This helps you monitor your equipment remotely and stay on top of maintenance schedules.
