Two DE22000 Excavators Delivered to Ecuador: Customer Feedback
- Location: Ecuador
- Customer: Local partner
- Equipment: 2 × DASWELL DE22000 crawler excavators
- Operating Weight: 22-ton class
- Year: 2026
In 2026, DASWELL delivered two DE22000 crawler excavators to a local partner in Ecuador. After receiving and testing the machines on site, the customer sent us photos and expressed strong satisfaction with their performance.
The two 22-ton crawler excavators can be used for earthmoving, foundation excavation, trenching, and material loading.

DE22000: A 22-Ton Crawler Excavator
The DE22000 has an operating weight of 22,000 kg and a standard bucket capacity of 1.1 m³. It measures approximately 9.5 meters long and 3 meters wide.
This model offers a maximum digging depth of 6.7 meters, a maximum digging reach of nearly 10 meters, and a maximum dumping height of 6.8 meters. With a maximum bucket digging force of 137 kN and an arm digging force of 102 kN, it can handle a range of earthmoving tasks.
When choosing an excavator, it is useful to compare these figures with the work planned for the site. Digging depth matters for foundations and trenches, while digging reach helps determine how much of the working area the machine can cover from one position. Dumping height should also be checked against the trucks used for material transport.
Bucket selection deserves attention as well. The DE22000 has a standard bucket capacity of 1.1 m³, but the right bucket for a job also depends on the material and working conditions. Sharing details about the soil, rock content, and main tasks helps us discuss a suitable configuration.
Engine and Hydraulics: Cummins + Kawasaki
The DE22000 is powered by a Cummins 6BTAA5.9-C150 turbocharged, intercooled engine, with a rated power of 112 kW at 1,950 rpm and a maximum torque of 614 N·m at 1,500 rpm.
The hydraulic system uses a Kawasaki main pump, main valve, and positive-flow electronic control system to support responsive operation and efficient control. The swing motor uses core components imported from Japan.
Practical Features of the DE22000 Crawler Excavator
- Widened undercarriage: Improves machine stability during operation.
- Rear panoramic camera: Included in the standard product configuration, the camera helps the operator monitor the area behind the machine and reduce blind spots.
- Monitoring display: Shows operating information such as engine speed, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level.
- Structural components and bushings: Structural components are welded using automated welding robots. The boom and arm cylinders use wear-resistant bushings with high surface hardness and oil-retaining holes.
