The register lists here 2 versions at 269.9 to 360.2 kW from the Scania DC9 and DC13 engines with 9,301.3 to 12,701.6 cm³ displacement, lengths from 9,558.5 to 10,591.8 mm, heights from 3,560 to 3,850 mm and torque figures from 1,872.4 to 2,372.7 Nm.

Articulated dump trucks haul large volumes of material across unpaved ground in open-pit mining, earthworks and road construction, where the articulated steering joint keeps the machine mobile at full load; Doosan competes here with its Scania engines alongside the established brands Caterpillar, Volvo and Bell.

On used examples, operating hours and the condition of the Scania engine, wear on the dump-body mounting and tipping cylinders, the condition of the articulation joints, and tyres and brakes all matter; parts for the engine run through the Scania service network, and for the body and chassis through Doosan importers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
