Develon Quarry and Construction Range Excels at Hillhead 2024
Hillhead 2024 provided the perfect platform to both display and demonstrate for the first time at the show the latest products for the quarrying and construction industries from Develon.
The static display on Develon‘s Stand Z4 included the DX530LC-7 53 tonne crawler excavator, the DL420-7 wheel loader and the DA45-7 articulated dump truck (ADT). In the demonstration area, further products for the quarry face that showed their paces included the DX420LC-7 43.5 tonne crawler excavator, the DL550-7 wheel loader and the DA30-7 ADT.
Among new products being shown for the first time at Hillhead was the new DD130-7 dozer. Compact equipment was another strong aspect, with the DX27Z-7, DX55R-7 and DX100W-7 mini-excavators on show. The stand display was completed by Develon‘s DX235LCR-7 24.3 tonne crawler excavator.
The DX420LC-7 and DX530LC-7 were representative of the range of large crawler excavators from Develon that also includes the DX800LC-7 80 tonne and DX1000LC-7 100 tonne machines. The DL420-7 and DL550-7 are two of the four biggest standard models in the DL-7 range of wheel loaders from Develon, that also includes the DL480-7 and DL580-7 models.
The market-leading DA30-7 and DA45-7 ADTs offer payloads of 28 tonne and 41 tonne, respectively. As the DA30-7 showed in the Demo area, 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.
New High Visibility Dozer
With the launch of the new DD130-7, Develon has entered the UK and 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.
Develon Mini-Excavators
The DX27Z-7 2.8 tonne and DX55R-7 5.7 tonne Stage 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.
