About · Doosan DX170WOverview
The Doosan DX170W is a wheeled excavator in the mid-size class, designed for excavation and material-handling work from a road-mobile, rubber-tyred undercarriage. Its wheeled configuration allows it to travel between worksites under its own power without requiring a low-loader for short-distance repositioning. The machine represents Doosan's offering in the European wheeled-excavator segment, combining standard excavator functionality with the operational flexibility of a wheeled platform.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Wheeled excavators of this class are commonly deployed on urban construction sites, road and utility works, and drainage or pipeline projects where frequent repositioning between work areas is required. The rubber-tyred undercarriage reduces surface damage on paved or finished ground, making the machine suitable for work in municipal environments and on existing infrastructure. Secondary applications include light demolition, trench digging, and loading duties where a tracked machine would be impractical.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
When inspecting a used wheeled excavator of this class, buyers should assess the condition of the tyres, rims, and axle seals, as these components are specific to wheeled machines and differ in wear characteristics from tracked undercarriages. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for play and lubrication history. Hydraulic hoses, cylinder seals, and swing-ring condition are standard points of attention on any used excavator. A full service-history review, confirmation of any outstanding recalls, and a working demonstration of all functions including outriggers and blade where fitted are recommended before purchase.
Current marketPrice position
In the European used-equipment market, the Doosan DX170W is currently trading at approximately EUR 39,950. This positions it within the competitive mid-size wheeled-excavator segment alongside offerings from other established manufacturers. Buyers evaluating this machine should benchmark the asking price against comparable units from competing brands to assess relative value for the specification and condition offered.
