Doosan DX60E Mini excavators tech specs

Overview

The Doosan DX60E (DX60E-9CN) (2016–2024) is a 5.7-ton mini excavator aimed at contractors who need useful digging force and working reach without moving into a larger excavator class. Its 36.2 kilowatt Yanmar engine, 0.21 cubic meter bucket, 3.8 m digging depth, and 6.135 m reach make it suitable for trenching, foundations, drainage, utility installation, landscaping, and general excavation.

Expert rating: 5 stars

Performance & Efficiency

The 36.2 kilowatt Yanmar 4TNV94L engine supports a hydraulic pump flow of 115.6 liters per minute at a relief pressure of 245 bar. Its 42 kN bucket digging force and 28 kN arm crowding force provide useful breakout performance for compacted soil and trenching, while the 52 kN drawbar pull and 35-degree gradeability help the machine travel across slopes and uneven ground. The 9 rpm swing speed supports controlled loading and excavation cycles.

In Comparison

Komatsu PC78: A larger alternative for buyers who need more lifting ability and excavation output, but it requires heavier transport and more working space.
Hitachi ZX33: More compact and easier to place on restricted sites, but offers a smaller working envelope than the Doosan DX60E.
Doosan DX60E: Provides a balanced 5.7-ton package with 42 kN bucket force, 6.135 m reach, and practical hydraulic output for general contracting work.

Final Verdict

Rated 5 stars, the Doosan DX60E is a capable mini excavator within the AED 80,000–200,000 range. Its Yanmar engine, strong bucket force, useful digging reach, and 0.21 cubic meter bucket make it a practical choice for utility installation, foundations, landscaping, and general site excavation.
