Tougher Than the Job

For waste management and recycling, you need a machine that stands up to it all. Our loaders’ robust construction adds heavyduty guards, optional exoskeleton, and solid rubber tires, ensuring durability and puncture-proof reliability.

With an impressive 5-meter arm, the Develon DL280-7 waste loader makes quick work of even the largest trucks. A unique light arm design ensures fast operation and smoother workflows, saving time on every cycle.

Choose from Power, Normal, or Economy modes to match your loader’s performance to the task at hand, ensuring the right balance of power and fuel efficiency for any job.

Develon’s auto idle and auto shutdown systems automatically reduce engine speed or shut down when the loader is not in use. This feature helps conserve fuel, reduce emissions, and prevent overheating—keeping your machine safe, efficient, and ready for action whenever you need it.

Need more engine power for lift arm speed? In lower gears, simply depress the left brake pedal to disengage the transmission. Start moving forward again on an incline by disengaging the transmission cutout using the switch panel.

The Develon DL280–7 safety features are specifically designed for the challenges of waste and recycling facilities. Building on proven Develon wheel loader solutions, this machine takes things to the next level with an additional set of safety features to protect the operator and your investment.

Our waste loader also offers an optional advanced air filtration system to protect the operator’s safety and comfort, a fire suppression system to minimize risks, and premium Hi-Viz elements to ensure the machine is always visible.

Designed for comfort and safety, the cab offers a larger windshield for better visibility and oversized mirrors for a wider view. The windshield guard is designed for uncompromising protection without significant impact on visibility. Add up to 12 LED working lights and electric-adjustable mirrors, and you’re ready to take on any job, day or night.

We put every detail under the microscope, using Finite Element Analysis to maximize the lifespan of crucial components like the chassis, joints, and lift arm. Our innovative design approach and data analysis ensure you get the best possible performance and durability.

The DL280-7 waste loader features comprehensive protection of all sensitive parts. Additional covers and brushes help shield internal components from dust, while the fuel tank guard, radiator guard, and optional exoskeleton provide extra protection against potential impacts in tight workspaces. Lift arm greasing lines are safely routed inside, taking advantage of the arm’s hollow design.

With wide-pitch fin radiators and a reversible fan, your machine stays cool with less downtime and easy maintenance. Plus, you can set fan intervals directly from Develon Smart Touch for better fuel efficiency and faster warm-ups.

The maintenance-free cyclone pre-filter removes 99% of particles 20 microns and larger, extending the filter life, improving combustion, and boosting engine longevity.
