Doosan announces first Class II product in bid to become full-line supplier

Doosan (Booth 662) highlighted the new BR18/20SP-7 narrow aisle reach truck, its first product in the class. It also showcased its first engine, which replaced third-party engines and is now used in all Doosan products.

According to Gary Chancellor, dealer sales manager, the new Tier 4 engine means that all major components of Doosan equipment, including masts, carriages and forks, are now made in-house.

“What also sets us apart is that 90% of our products use oil-cooled disc brakes,” he said. “Maintenance, other than changing fluid, is virtually non-existent, and they are protected by a five-year, 10,000-hour warranty.”

By the end of the year, Chancellor said Doosan will announce additional product releases that will make it a full-line lift truck supplier.
