Doosan & DEVELON machinery
DX excavators, dump trucks and loaders
Doosan is South Korea's best-known name in construction equipment, and one you'll find on muckshift, quarry and demolition jobs right across our patch. Since 2023 the construction range has carried a new badge - DEVELON - but the machines underneath are the same, so you'll see both names on UK sites for years yet. The core of the fleet is the DX series of crawler and wheeled excavators, backed up by articulated dump trucks and wheel loaders on the bigger earthmoving work.
Excavator cabs are where we spend most of our Doosan time, and they share the working quirk that matters to glazing: the front screen is designed to slide up and stow in the roof, so the operator can run with it open. A replacement that's a few millimetres out will bind in the channels - so we size the glass to the frame, refit the hardware and check the screen still travels before we sign the job off. Dump truck and loader cabs are more conventional, with big single screens and flat side glass that our mobile unit handles the same day-to-day way.
Beyond the front screen it's the usual mix: flat door, side and quarter panes cut to size on site from sheet stock, shaped glass ordered through our supplier network, laminated or toughened to suit the pane - all fitted to health & safety requirements and manufacturer recommendations. We do the same for Komatsu and Volvo machines if the fleet is mixed.
Doosan questions
Asked about Doosan glazing
Do you cover the newer DEVELON-badged machines as well as Doosan?
Yes. DEVELON is the new name Doosan's construction equipment has carried since 2023 - same machines, different badge. We template the glass to the cab, so the name on the counterweight makes no difference.
Can you replace the sliding front screen on a Doosan DX excavator?
Yes. The front screen is designed to slide up and stow in the roof, so the replacement has to match exactly or it jams in the channels. We size the glass to the frame and check it still travels before we sign the job off.
What details do you need for a Doosan quote?
The full model number including the dash series - DX140LC-5 or DX140LC-7 rather than just DX140LC - and which pane is damaged. The number after the dash is what lets us identify the right glass first time. Photos help. Call us on 01724 701 321 and we'll give you a free, no-obligation quote.
