Develon’s new DX100W-7 mini wheel excavator is the first mini wheel excavator from the company in North America. The DX100W-7 can reach speeds up to 24 mph and features a spacious cab, with low noise and vibration levels paired with all-around visibility.
“It has several features and technologies for excellent performance, efficiency and high-end comfort. We’re excited to continue 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,” said Andy Jeong, mini excavator product manager and compact engineer.
The new DX100W-7 is equipped with three steering modes, including:
- 2-wheel: Provides agility and handling while also delivering increased fuel economy.
- 4-wheel crab: Offers precision and maneuverability in tight spaces.
- 4-wheel round: Gives a tighter turning radius, increased traction and control, especially on tough terrain.
The reinforced articulated boom features an additional pivot point, which enhances the working range, lifting capacity and digging force. The DX100W-7 has a 1.35-ton counterweight for improved digging and lifting performance. It also features a large hydraulic capacity. Operators can choose from four work modes and four power modes to customize power and performance.
Additional comfort elements include a fully adjustable heated air-suspension seat and heat and air conditioning. Operators can adjust the telescoping tilt steering to customize their working position.
A selectable control pattern switch gives operators the ability to change between ISO and BHL or “backhoe” patterns depending on their preference. The pattern change valve is located beneath the floor cover and is easily accessible.
Operators can work efficiently and safely with the exclusive parallel dozer blade and independent rear outriggers (stabilizers). The dozer blade helps pull, push and mix materials, while the rear outriggers add stability and minimize damage to surfaces like asphalt.
Double tires come standard on the DX100W-7 and provide increased traction and agility on rough terrain. By distributing weight across multiple tires, the machine minimizes soil compaction while enhancing performance on a wide range of terrains, including grass, gravel and asphalt.
A standard overload warning device safety feature protects the machine against excessive wear and tear. It warns operators when the excavator is approaching or exceeding its maximum load capacity or safe operating limits, helping minimize tipping or structural failures.
My Develon fleet management, a new digital platform for managing construction equipment, comes standard on the new machine. The diagnostic tool is available on all -7 Series mini excavators and monitors the health, location and productivity of Develon equipment from a mobile app and website.
The DX100W-7 is now available for order at local dealers.
