Develon releases its first mini wheel excavator

Suwanee, Georgia-based equipment manufacturer Develon has launched the DX100W-7, a mini wheel excavator designed for navigating cramped, congested urban job sites.

The company touts its new excavator as the ideal combination of compact and agile, with travel speeds up to 24 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest excavators in the market.

“The new DX100W-7 is the first mini wheel excavator from Develon in North America and helps our customers take on confined job sites where space is limited,” says Andy Jeong, mini excavator product manager and compact engineer for Develon. “It has several features and technologies for excellent performance, efficiency and high-end comfort. We’re excited to expand our compact equipment line, which now includes the DX100W-7 and DX17Z-7 mini excavators and, in July, the DTL35 compact track loader.”

The 25,000-pound class excavator is designed with a 100-horsepower D34 diesel engine, and equipped with steering, power and work modes to help operators customize performance.

A reinforced articulated boom and boom swing features an additional pivot point, which the company says enhances the working range, lifting capacity and digging force for the machine.

Key features include:

• 1.35-ton counterweight for digging and lifting performance;
• four work modes and four power modes to customize power and performance; and
• parallel dozer blade and independent rear outrigger stabilizers.

The DX100W-7 is now available for order at local dealers.
