ENGCON has announced the integration of its tiltrotator technology with Develon’s latest excavator models, the DX230LC-9 and DX260LC-9.
This means the new Develon 9 series diggers will now be delivered tiltrotator-ready in a move described as ‘setting a new standard for ease of installation and operational efficiency’.
The factory-prepared solution aims to ensure a ‘straightforward and time-efficient’ installation of engcon DC3 tiltrotators, reducing the need for complex retrofitting. The integration supports both engcon sandwich solutions and direct-mounted DC3 tiltrotators, while maintaining full compatibility with Develon’s 2D machine guidance systems and aftermarket 3D machine control systems.
For rental companies, engcon said this development provides a ‘decisive advantage’. Tiltrotator-ready excavators allow fleets to easily equip or interchange tiltrotators as needed, maximising flexibility and utilisation while simplifying fleet management. End users renting these machines benefit from immediate access to tiltrotator functionality.
“This collaboration with Develon allows us to provide a more advanced and integrated solution for our end customers, while delivering a simplified installation process for our dealers and rental partners,” said Sam Ryan, global OEM manager at engcon. “By ensuring the Develon 9 series excavators are tiltrotator-ready, we make it easier than ever to adopt tiltrotator technology on a global scale.”
