DEVELON has launched the new DX10Z-7 1-tonne zero-tail-swing mini-excavator, providing a “significantly improved performance” compared to the previous DX10Z model it replaces. 

The DX10Z-7 is said to be compact and easy to transport, offering a width of only 730 mm when the tracks and the front blade are fully retracted, allowing the machine to pass through doors. 

The hydraulically expandable undercarriage provides the DX10Z-7 with one of the widest stances in the mini-excavator segment.

When it is extended, the width of the square footprint becomes 1,100 mm, providing “unsurpassed stability”, Develon says. 

The increased performance of the DX10Z-7 is based around a new 1.45 m boom design and increased arm length (from 810 to 890 mm), resulting in a significantly enhanced working range compared to the DX10Z. 

This includes a 21.5 per cent rise in dump height of 2,205 mm and an 8.5 per cent increase in digging reach at ground level of 3,355 mm.

The workgroup of the DX10Z-7 mini-excavator features a cylinder-over-boom design, providing protection for the cylinder and an increase in lifting capacity. 

A statement from Develon, previously known as Doosan, added: “Despite its compact nature, the new DX10Z-7 does not compromise on operator comfort and is ergonomically designed with the operator in mind, featuring a swivel and tilting system for the consoles and a retractable seat belt as standard.”
