Develon’s latest 8 tonne mini-excavator, the DX85R-7, has a reduced tail swing (RTS) design and boom swing angle of 60o so it can work effectively in confined spaces.
It is powered by a D24 Stage V diesel engine, providing 48.5 kW of power at 2100rpm. The bucket digging force of the DX85R-7 is 6.7 tonne and this is combined with a traction force of 6.6 tonne, whilst travel speeds are 2.9 km/h in the low range and 4.8 km/h in the high range. The excavator is fitted with a newly-designed main control valve that cuts energy wastage and pressure losses by more than 40%.
