Powerful Performance

The conventional tail swing Doosan® DX42-5 is a highly maneuverable excavator offering strong bucket breakout force, superior dig depth and excellent reach in the 4- to 5-ton class. With a closed center valve, a piston pump, load-sensing hydraulics and cushioned cylinders, the DX42-5 is packed with high-end hydraulic components that deliver the power and performance you need for difficult jobs.

Boasting a relatively narrow width for a machine of its class, the DX42-5 gives you the opportunity to expertly operate on congested jobsites or navigate easily through doorways, gates and other obstacles.

Durability and Productivity

The DX42-5 helps you do more with your working hours. Whether you’re digging, dumping soil into trucks or placing hardscape materials, the perfectly sized cylinders of Doosan mini excavators turn out the best in-class cycle times. Your reputation depends on a reliable, durable machine. Built tough with integrated slew brakes, on-board diagnostics and automatic glow plugs, the DX42-5 lets you spend less time in the shop and more time on the job-site.

Comfort and Convenience

Whether you’re operating an enclosed cab option or an open canopy configuration, the DX42-5 keeps operators comfortable. Both options provide exceptional all-around visibility, standard suspension seating and a strategically placed deluxe instrumentation panel for optimal operator experience. The standard keyless start system also helps you reduce unauthorized machine use and theft.
