Doosan adds six new models to GX Series

Korean forklift manufacturer Doosan has added six new IC engine models to its GX economy range, taking the total in this range to 10.

The company has added 1.5-, 1.8- and 2-ton capacity LPG and diesel forklifts to the range.

Tim Waples, Doosan UK's general manager, says the new models have arrived at the best possible time for the company. "In the midst of an economic downturn, we know that businesses are keen to keep costs down as they invest to grow and survive," he says. "The GX Series is very popular with users that perhaps don't have as intensive an operation as some of our Pro-5 fleet customers, but still need reliability and performance from a proven machine. We feel that extending the range now makes perfect sense."

Waples says the GX Series is simple to operate, with wide visibility masts, ergonomic operator compartment and robust 2.4 litre LPG or 3.3 litre industrial diesel engines.
