Hillhead 2024 will provide the perfect platform to display and demonstrate for the first time at the show the latest products for the quarrying and construction industries from Develon, formerly known as Doosan Construction Equipment.
The static display on Develon’s Stand Z4 at the25-27 June 2024 industry showpiece at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, Derbyshire,will include theDX530LC-7 53-tonne crawler excavator, theDL420-7 wheeled loader, and theDA45-7 articulated dump truck (ADT). In the demonstration area, further products for the quarry face that will be showing their paces include theDX420LC-7 43.5-tonne crawler excavator, theDL550-7 wheeled loader, and theDA30-7 ADT.
Among new products being shown for the first time at Hillhead on the Develon stand are the newDX140RDM-7 22.5 tonne demolition excavator and the newDD130-7 dozer. Compact equipment is another strong aspect, with theDX27Z-7 andDX55R-7 mini-excavators andDL85-7 compact wheeled loader on show. The stand display will be completed by Develon’sDX235LCR-7 24.3-tonne crawler excavator.
The DX-7 Range of Crawler and Wheeled Excavators from Develon
The DX420LC-7 and DX530LC-7 are part of Develon’s range of large crawler excavators, including the DX800LC-7 80-tonne and DX1000LC-7 100-tonne machines. Overall, all the models in the DX-7 range of crawler and wheeled excavators from 14 to 100 tonnes combine enhanced comfort with the latest features to boost fuel efficiency, uptime, and return on investment, with a focus on increased power, robustness, and agility.
Increased Productivity and Versatility
The DL420-7 and DL550-7 are two of the four biggest standard models in the DL-7 range of wheeled loaders from Develon, which also includes the DL480-7 and DL580-7 models. With redesigned buckets offering up to 7% more capacity, these DL-7 wheeled loaders provide easier and faster loading with maximum bucket capacities from 4.5 to 6.4 m3. Altogether, the eleven DL-7 wheeled loaders in the Develon range with bucket capacities starting at 2m3 provide increased productivity for a very wide range of material-handling applications.
Best-in-Class Rough and Soft Terrain Performance
The market-leading DA30-7 and DA45-7 ADTs offer payloads of 28 tonnes and 41 tonnes, respectively. These models feature an articulation hinge positioned behind the turning ring to provide equal weight distribution to the front axle even during maximum steer articulation. This, combined with a free-swinging rear tandem bogie, ensures equal distribution of weight to each wheel and guarantees permanent 6-wheel contact and drive for equal power distribution and excellent performance, particularly on difficult terrains such as soft ground, uneven surfaces, very steep slopes, tight turns or a combination of all of these difficult conditions.
The DA30-7 and DA45-7 6×6 ADTs are now complemented by a new 4×4 version of the DA45-7 ADT intended to compete with rigid dump trucks (RDTs) in the 40-tonne class. In the new 4×4 ADT, the front truck and cab unit are the same as in the original 6×6 model, with modifications being made on the rear dumper unit only.
New Addition to Develon Demolition Excavator Range
The DX140RDM-7 is the latest addition to the company’s successful range of demolition excavators and the only one of its type on the market. Like the larger models from 31 to 61-tonne, this new 22.5-tonne excavator offers multiple configurations to choose from, providing the customer with a complete, flexible solution that allows them to use the same excavators for other applications on site as well as demolition.
In fact, the DX140RDM-7 offers even more choices, starting with a unique ‘Monolithic’ variant that only features a demolition arm without any possibility of interchangeability. Alternatively, like the larger machines, the DX140RDM-7 is also available in a dual format utilising a modular boom design and hydraulic lock mechanism, allowing the user to change between different arms for demolition and digging using the same machine.
New High Visibility Dozer
With the launch of the new DD130-7, Develon has entered the European dozer market. The wide range of features on the DD130-7 provides a productive fine-grading solution for residential and light commercial construction projects. One of the biggest differences between the DD130-7 and other brands is the visibility it provides of the machine’s dozer blade. To facilitate this, the front engine compartment offers a narrower design and is combined with other features that make it easier for operators to see their work.
For further visibility and safety, a standard rearview camera provides operators with an additional view of the dozer’s surroundings. The full-colour, 8-inch Smart Touch display shows the feed from the rearview camera. Also standard are high-illumination LED lights and four premium wiper blades. The DD130-7 offers a high level of comfort with a premium, high-quality seat. The seat and joysticks move together via the air suspension system, to absorb all vibrations.
Develon Mini-Excavators
TheDX27Z-7 2.8-tonne and DX55R-75.7-tonneStage V compliant models are typical of the new Develon range of mini-excavators from 1 to 10-tonne. The zero tail swing design of the DX27Z-7 and the reduced radius design of the DX55R-7 models make them ideal for confined space work.
The DX27Z-7 is powered by the D17 Stage V compliant diesel engine providing 18.4 kW (24.7 HP) of power at 2400 RPM. The DX55R-7 is powered by the D18 Stage V compliant diesel engine providing 36.4 kW (48.8 HP) of power at 2200 RPM. As a result, these models offer the highest power and torque in their respective classes and cover a wide range of applications including heavy duty work.
New Compact Wheeled Loaders
The DL85-7 is one of five compact wheeled loaders from Develon, that also include the DL60, DL65, DL80 and DL80TL models, with operating weights from 3500 to 5000 kg. Just like their much heavier versions in the Develon range, these compact wheeled loaders set the industry standard for productivity, flexibility, comfort, safety and reliability, with powerful Stage V engines, hydrostatic 4-wheel drive, 100% differential lock on both axles and versatile and powerful hydraulics.
