The DX20ZE-7 mini excavator is the first mass-produced electric-powered excavator manufactured by Develon. This 2-tonne machine combines low noise and zero emissions with the features and performance enhancements that are found on the next generation DX-7 Series family of mini excavators, says the company.
The DX20ZE-7 is powered by an inhouse- developed 20.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, with all of the electrical system and components on the machine optimised for work in harsh environments.
A quick-charger system restores 80% of the battery power after only one hour and 20 minutes of charging, while the on-board charger restores the maximum charge after eight hours of charging.
Retractable tracks allow the new excavator to pass through narrow passages and entrances/exits, making it suitable for working in confined spaces or indoor applications such as demolition and construction. Once the excavator reaches the work area, the operator can expand the tracks for better stability and lifting capacity. With its compact dimensions, the
DX20ZE-7 offers a solution for construction and rental companies working in sensitive areas where low noise or night-time work is necessary. Telematics come as standard on the mini excavator. Operators and dealers can remotely monitor their machine’s health, location and productivity from an app or website. Telematics can help owners:
- Minimise equipment theft and allow for machine tracking.
- Avoid unauthorised use of the machine.
- See when maintenance is due.
- Customise alerts to a customer’s schedule.
- Track oil pressure, operating temperature and more.
- Use data to train operators for maximum productivity.
“The DX20ZE-7 is designed to meet a growing demand for electric machines,” says Stephane Dieu, excavators product manager for Europe. “As compact equipment, such as mini excavators, has a higher tendency to work in cities and residential areas, where it has proximity to other workers, it has a great advantage over the diesel counterpart due to less noise and no emissions.”
