Doosan Infracore’s DL280-5 wheel loader and Doosan Bobcat’s E85 excavator have been selected as the winners of the “2018 Contractors’ Top 50 New Product Awards.”

The North American construction news media companies ForConstructionPros.com and Equipment Today recently selected and announced the winners of the “2018 Contractors’ Top 50 New Product Awards,” with Doosan Infracore earning a place on the list for the first time.

The winners of the annual awards, which have been co-sponsored by the two construction media firms since 2011, are ultimately chosen according to the results of a survey on readers’ interest in new products featured in their online and offline media over the previous year.

Doosan Infracore’s DL280-5 wheel loader is specially designed to operate in industrial waste treatment and recycling facilities. The new model can raise its bucket higher than previous models when loading objects onto trucks, etc. thus offering improved operational convenience and efficiency. In addition, the durability of its major parts and components has been strengthened while the lifecycle of its air filter has been extended to enhance the operator’s health and safety. The model is also equipped with DoosanCONNECTTM which allows anyone to monitor its current location, running hours, and fuel consumption remotely from a distance.

Notably, Doosan Bobcat’s E85 compact excavator is equipped with Bobcat turbo charge diesel engine technology that does not require an emissions control device such as a DPF (diesel particulate filter) or SCR (selective catalytic reduction). In addition, the model features various devices designed to further enhance the operator’s productivity and convenience.
