Doosan’s clear winner

Doosan Infracore Europe’s transparent bucket system has won the Coup de Coeur - Jury’s favourite - Award from the Jury of the 4th edition of the Grands Prix Matériels Chantiers de France, which took place in Nantes during the recent national DLR 2022 Congress for construction. 

 The transparent bucket, which is protected by several patents, is the first safety system of its type for wheel loaders. Due to the blind spots caused by buckets, the area in front of the machines is considered a potential risk area. 

The device records images at the front of the loader using cameras placed at the top and bottom of the machine. Using a curved projection method, the system displays combined images in real time on a monitor installed in the cab.

 With this monitor, the driver can check at any time on the screen what is happening in the blind spot areas in front of the bucket and thus avoid accidents. This can also increase working efficiency.
