Doosan Infracore Launches Wheel Loader with 'Transparent Bucket' to See Blind Spots

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Doosan Infracore announced on the 1st that it has launched the industry's first wheel loader equipped with a 'Transparent Bucket' feature that allows operators to view the front screen ahead of the bucket through a monitor inside the cab.

Until now, the front of wheel loaders has been identified as a high-risk area for safety accidents due to blind spots. To address this, cameras installed on the upper and lower parts of the wheel loader capture the front view, and the combined image is displayed in real-time on the monitor using a curved projection method, enabling the operator to easily check the blind spot beyond the bucket on the screen.

A Doosan Infracore official explained, "The advantage is that the front view can be seen through the monitor even during loading/unloading operations or soil transport driving, significantly improving work efficiency," adding, "Doosan Infracore is the first in the world to develop and apply a front view function like the Transparent Bucket in construction equipment." Doosan Infracore has filed patents for this technology in Korea, North America, Europe, and China.

In addition to the Transparent Bucket, Doosan Infracore stated that it has equipped construction equipment with advanced safety systems such as an Around View Monitor (AVM) system that allows checking the surroundings of the equipment via monitor, and a rear warning system using ultrasonic sensors, receiving great responses from customers.

A Doosan Infracore representative said, "As construction safety standards have been significantly strengthened, advanced safety systems have become a key factor in equipment selection," and added, "We will continue to develop functions that protect the safety of both operators and surrounding workers, such as the Transparent Bucket, and take the lead in creating construction sites free of accidents."
