Hyundai Doosan Infracore Unveils First Demolition Excavator... High Value-Added Special Equipment

35t Demolition Excavator Enhancing Work Efficiency Following 53t Model, Released for the First Time in Korea

Hyundai Doosan Infracore's 53-ton demolition excavator (DX530LC-5L Demolition) launched in 2019.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] Hyundai Doosan Infracore, a construction equipment subsidiary of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, is targeting niche markets with high value-added special equipment.

Hyundai Doosan Infracore announced on the 31st that it will showcase the 35-ton demolition excavator (model DX350LC-7 Demolition) for the first time in Korea at the "Korea International Construction Equipment Exhibition" held at KINTEX in Ilsan for four days starting next month on the 10th.

This product is based on the 35-ton excavator widely used at domestic demolition sites and features a long boom and long arm for demolition work, enabling operations up to 18 meters high above ground. Each hose section uses a quick coupler system that allows easy attachment and detachment of various work tools, reducing work time and enhancing operator convenience.

Additionally, the cabin where the operator is seated can tilt up to 40 degrees, facilitating visibility during high-rise work, and the boom and arm are designed to operate in three stages to maximize structural accessibility and work efficiency.

Following the 53-ton demolition excavator (model DX530LC-5L Demolition) released in 2019, Hyundai Doosan Infracore plans to actively target the high value-added special equipment market by diversifying its lineup with this new 35-ton model. The 53-ton model, designed to dismantle structures up to 26 meters high, approximately eight stories, currently holds the highest sales record among demolition special equipment sold domestically.

Demolition special equipment is a high value-added product priced about twice as much as general excavators of the same class, and demand is expected to increase as on-site safety regulations become stricter. A Hyundai Doosan Infracore official said, "Due to recent strengthening of safety at demolition sites, inquiries for purchasing demolition special equipment are increasing," adding, "We will contribute to the safety of demolition sites by introducing various demolition special equipment that enhances work efficiency and operator convenience."
