Used Doosan DX300, DX340 and DX380 Excavator for Sale: China Export Guide
Release time: 2026-11-03
The 30–38 ton Doosan class — DX300, DX340 and DX380 — sits above the popular DX225 and delivers the digging force contractors need for quarry loading, highway cuts and heavy civil work. Shanghai yards regularly stock Japan- and Korea-origin DX300LC, DX340LC and DX380 machines with documented hours. This guide compares the three sizes, lists what to check on a live video, and explains how to buy a used Doosan DX300, DX340 or DX380 excavator from China.
DX300 vs DX340 vs DX380: which size fits?
- Doosan DX300 / DX300LC / DX305 (about 30–32 tons): the volume seller for road and quarry loading. Examples: DX300LC (2023, 3053 h), DX300LC (2022, 2100 h), DX300LC (2022, 2789 h), DX300LC-9C #622, DX300LC-9C #410, DX300 #479 and DX305 #700.
- Doosan DX340 / DX340LC (about 34–35 tons): more breakout for rock and larger truck loading. Examples: DX340LC (2022, 1817 h) and DX340 #439.
- Doosan DX360 / DX380 (about 36–38 tons): heavy class for mining support and high-tonnage loading. Examples: DX360LCA #649, DX360LCA-7B #713, DX380 #762 and DX380 #701.
Prefer the lighter 22-ton Doosan? See our DX225 export guide and the earlier DX225LC Africa guide. All current units are listed under used Doosan excavators.
What to check on a live video
- Serial plate, hour meter and monitor in one uncut clip, including any fault codes.
- Cold start and smoke colour, then blow-by at the oil filler once warm.
- Combined movements: boom up, stick in and swing together at full throttle with no hesitation.
- Boom drift: hold a loaded bucket in the air for one minute and watch for creeping.
- Pins, bushings and swing bearing play at the bucket, stick and upper structure.
- Undercarriage: sprockets, rollers, idlers and shoe height — critical on 30–38 ton machines.
- Hammer piping and stick nose wear if you plan breaker work.
Shipping from Shanghai
A DX300 usually ships on a flat rack or by RoRo; DX340 and DX380 almost always need a flat rack, often with the counterweight or bucket removed. Ask for FOB Shanghai and CIF to ports such as Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Lagos, Callao or Santos, and confirm age and inspection rules with your broker. Our Kenya, Ghana and South Africa import guide and Latin America guide cover the paperwork.
