Comprising eleven models, running from the smallest DL200-7, through to the topof-the-range DL580-7 model, the DL-7 range is designed to provide easier and faster loading. Bucket capacities stretch from 2 to 6.4m3, providing increased productivity for a wide range of material handling applications including the transport and delivery of soil, sand, aggregates and other materials in industry, recycling, waste, construction, demolition, mining and quarrying.
One of the most important changes in the DL- 7 range is the new parallel lift system now adopted as standard across the six smallest models from the DL200-7 to the DL380-7. These wheel loaders now feature a parallel lift system with electro-hydraulic compensation, specifically designed to maintain the horizontal alignment of the pallet forks during lifting. This advanced system automatically adjusts the forks to stay level as they move up and down, ensuring loads remain stable and securely balanced. Ideal for precise pallet handling, parallel lift simplifies loading and unloading operations and reduces the risk of spillage or damage.
Fingertip control
Electric joystick steering integrated on the armrest, a proven feature on large Develon wheel loaders, is now available for the smallest models from the DL200-7 to the DL280-7. According to the manufacturer, electric joystick steering helps operators keep their concentration and reduces stress, allowing the operator to drive their machine more easily, especially in repetitive tasks and tight spaces. Designed to give the operator more precise control with a shorter lever stroke, the sensitivity of the ergonomic joystick control can be set and altered according to operator preferences using the SmartTouch touchscreen monitor.
Another upgrade for all the models is a comprehensive full LED lighting pack designed to improve visibility, safety and operator comfort. This new package includes advanced LED work lights that provide powerful illumination for optimum visibility during night shifts or in low light conditions. The road lights add an extra layer of safety when transporting materials, improving visibility on roads and in busy working areas.
In addition to the lighting enhancements, the upgrade package also includes heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors. The heating function ensures clear vision in cold or frosty conditions by preventing fog and ice build-up.
The power adjustment allows the operator to set the optimum angle without leaving the cab. Inside the cab, there is an option of a new seat with both heating and ventilation. The seat offers fully adjustable horizontal and vertical suspension settings and a pneumatic lumbar function as standard. There is a 3-point safety belt with alarm icons on the SmartTouch touchscreen monitor and on the gauge panel, which offers a clear layout and anti-reflective glass.
All of the newly updated DL-7 wheel loaders are equipped as standard with a 3rd spool valve with settable flow and detent function, providing a constant flow for hydraulically driven attachments. Operators can control hydraulic attachments via the proportional switch on the joystick.
In terms of security the new Develon Smart Key system on the control panel in the cab, lets the operator start the machine using a keyless device, helping to prevent machine theft. The system also provides remote door control, door lock and unlock, door release, searching and other functions.
