DEVELON has introduced the new DX25Z-7 mini-excavator.
Weighing 2,691kg, the model is powered by a Kubota D1305 Stage V-compliant diesel engine, delivering 18.5 kW (25 HP) at 2600 rpm.
In parallel, Develon has also launched an enhanced version of the 2.8-tonne DX27Z-7.
Both machines feature compact dimensions suited to work in tight spaces. Develon explained that they deliver low noise and vibration levels, along with the performance and reliability required for demanding daily tasks.
Ohjong Choi, head of product management at Develon Europe, said, “With the launch of the DX25Z-7, Develon is expanding its mini-excavator lineup with a highly transportable, lower-weight model that offers excellent versatility. The DX25Z-7 can be easily transported on a trailer along with a range of buckets and a hydraulic breaker while staying under the 3.5 tonne transport limit. The new machine is therefore an excellent solution for the rental industry and for self-drive hire in particular.
“In addition, the DX25Z-7 is designed with a practical feature set, making it a smart and cost-efficient solution for a wide range of applications. Its durable build and easy transportability make it especially well-suited for rental fleets and customers seeking reliable Develon performance at an accessible entry point.”
The DX25Z-7 is described as a cost-effective option, built for ‘durability, ease of use, and low maintenance’. A heavy-duty counterweight boosts stability and digging performance in tough conditions.
Designed with rental markets in mind, it includes reinforced components, cylinder and vandal guards, and a simple interface for less experienced operators. Safety features include a ROPS/TOPS/FOPS-certified cab, travel alarm, emergency stop, safety belt warning and LED lighting with a rotating beacon. A 2,030mm boom and 1,300mm arm come as a standard specification.
The heated cab provides a five-inch digital display, Bluetooth radio and smart safety functions such as ESL (Engine Starting Limit) anti-theft technology.
The upgraded 2.8-tonne DX27Z-7 features a Kubota V1505 Stage V diesel engine with 18.5 kW (25 HP) output at 2300 rpm, offering reduced noise, vibration and improved cooling efficiency.
Operational enhancements include an enlarged cab entry, thumbwheel auxiliary control, improved front visibility and wiper coverage and a large glass door for easy access.
Safety is improved with ROPS certification, an overload warning system, rear view and around-view cameras and additional LED lighting.
