for the North

market.
Develon mini-excavator specs for standard-arm configuration.
quick coupler to the machine, the time it takes to switch attachments
is greatly reduced, Develon says.
The excavators offer 1-way/2-way hydraulic flow, which is
activated through the joystick rather than the foot pedals.
One-way hydraulic flow only requires hydraulic power in one
direction, for such attachments as hydraulic breakers and
plate compactors. Two-way hydraulic flow is suitable for miniexcavator
attachments that need bidirectional flow, such as
hydraulic thumbs (clamps), rippers and grapples.
The standard heating and air-conditioning system is fully
integrated with multiple vents throughout the cab to improve
operator comfort and performance. Ergonomic enhancements
include a thumb switch on the right joystick that controls auxiliary
hydraulic functions. Boom swing is controlled by a
thumb switch on the left joystick. Develon says that this control
style enables better metering and improved multifunctioning
than with a foot pedal.
A framed, full glass door and an optional rearview camera
aid visibility alongside and behind the excavators. Highillumination
LED lamps light the work area and an optional
rotating beacon is available for work in high-traffic areas or
low-light situations. Standard Bluetooth audio allows operators
to communicate without removing their hands from the
joystick controls. A selectable control pattern is standard, allowing
operators to choose between ISO or BHL.
Develon's Fleet Management telematics system is a standard
feature on the DX62R-7 and DX63-7, letting customers
remotely monitor the health, location and productivity of their
machine from a mobile app and website. The customer's dealer
can see the equipment status and notify them when it's
time for service.
Develon also offers Smart X-Care service. A team of equipment
specialists can actively track machine telematics from a
secure machine-monitoring center and interpret the data in
real time to provide recommendations and deliver reports.

Specs for the DTL35 compact track loader.
DTL35 compact track loader
Develon revealed its DTL35 compact track loader in prototype
form at the 2023 CONEXPO Show in Las Vegas and will preview
it again at the ARA Show in February and at World of
Asphalt 2024 in March. Available later in 2024, the DTL35
marks the company's first entry in this product category for
the North American construction market.
" This means a lot to us because it's a statement that we
take this [market] very seriously, " said Thomas Lee, product
management director at Develon. " It's also offering a new
solution for the customers. "
The company claims that the machine's large frame size
and best-in-class 116-hp (86.5-kW) Develon engine position
the DTL35 among the segment leaders in performance. " One
hundred sixteen horsepower for this size class, I've got to be
honest, that's a lot, " Lee said. " We have a high-flow option
that can match with the engine power. We can give out 40
gallons per minute of hydraulic flow to the attachments. "
The compact track loader features a standard torsion suspension
system for a smooth ride and stable operation when
lifting and carrying loads. " It eliminates any kind of vibration
that comes from the terrain so that the operator can work in
the cabin all day long, " Lee said. " It also can give the operator
better performance when grading. "
The cab features an " unbreakable " polycarbonate door.
Inside is a full-color 8-inch (203-mm) Develon Smart Touch
display. A standard rearview camera gives operators better
visibility to the attachment and surroundings. An optional
around view monitor (AVM) camera system can provide
360-degree monitoring from the cab.
