Doosan DX300LC? Perhaps?

Post #1 by Gavin Phillips » Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:19 pm

Spillers flour mill has been a landmark on the river Tyne for countless years. Its been standing empty for what's probably almost a decade, subject to vandalism and graffiti (plus I think a fire too) and its now being demolished.

I have no sentiment with the building really, its not something I've ever seen as being attractive and if something can be built in its place that keeps people in a job (industrial storage units whatever) then all the better!

In any case, its the machines which interest me the most. There's a Daewoo Solar 175LC-V with hydraulic grab, Doosan DX480LC with concrete crusher, a 974B Liebherr high reach (data plate says built in 1998 so maybe not the B-model?) and this machine, a Doosan of some size built what model?

Two top rollers and 9 track rollers would put it anywhere from a Doosan DX300LC to a DX420LC. Any help in getting this mystery solved would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks for that. The DX480LC was across the other side of the site so I couldn't judge a size difference, although the 480 has 3 top rollers anyway. :ugeek:
