Develon’s new -9 series excavators offer new levels of fuel efficiency and safety

Develon is introducing a new series of excavators strongly focused on improved operating safety levels and better fuel economy. According to the firm, the new –9 series: “Redefines the industry standard.” The new units are fitted with “six cameras around the machine and radar detectors also.”

According to Develon, this enhanced level of safety technology can determine the difference between an inanimate obstacle and a human ... and respond accordingly. If a person is within 6m of the machine, it will slow down but, if the person comes within 3m, the technology will stop the machine operating altogether.

The DX230LC-9 is a 23tonne class crawler excavator and is being joined by the new 26tonne class DX260LC-9, with further machines to follow.

The new line-up also offers operators improved electronics and hydraulics, as well as low-emission diesel engines offering better fuel economy. The combination of these improved systems results in a 20% improvement in fuel economy overall, says Develon.

Develon became the new brand name for Doosan in 2023, following the 2021 purchase of the business by HD Hyundai.
