Develon Articulating Dump Trucks (ADT)

Excellent Driving & Stability & Traction

These rugged machines provide excellent driving stability with equal weight distribution and superior traction.

The front-mounted turning ring and the free-swinging rear tandem gear-driven bogie allow permanent 6-wheel contact for smoother rides in rough terrain.

The turning ring is located in front of the articulation point, ensuring equal weight distribution to the front wheels in all operating situations, including maximum turning.

Limited Slip Differential

The driveline’s limited slip differential transfers power to both the right and left wheels, automatically giving the highest torque to the wheel with the best grip.

The equal weight distribution enables you to use the limited slip differentials with only 45% locking value, ensuring drive to both front wheels in all situations without completely locking the wheels.

A sloping rear frame, in combination with the tire width, provides a lower center of gravity, which increases lateral stability and eliminates the need for wide, low-profile tires. A gradient meter helps you monitor the incline and pitch for improved safety.

Greater shock absorption from the hydro-gas, self-leveling front suspension adds to increased stability as the trucks move across jobsites. The system includes a self-leveling feature and the ability to change characteristics by adjusting the pressure.

Industry Leading Power-to-Weight Ratio

Engine sizes, torque and horsepower have been carefully selected to achieve max performance — in load capacity, driveline ratio performance and transmission efficiency.

Large Payload Capacities

DEVELON articulated dump trucks offer larger load capacities in their respective weight class categories. Additional load capacities combined with superior power and traction improve productivity.

Active Payload Meter

Our standard active payload and load count meter provides you with an immediate indication of productivity. It shows each load’s weight on-screen for increased load optimization and productivity.

Outside the cab, a traffic light-style indicator helps prevent overloading by alerting excavator and wheel loader operators.

For more reliable dumping performance, a center of gravity adjustment assists in managing load placement during dumping. If a load starts to pull the hoist cylinders backward, the system adjusts to slow down the dumping speed of the truck body, letting you prevent spillage or unexpected dumping.

Comfort Cab

The spacious ROPS/FOPS cab is equipped with climate control and a high-quality operator seat with air suspension to provide excellent comfort. Precise steering, good visibility and low noise levels provide additional comfort and quiet.

The sloping hood gives the operator an excellent view.

The cab is mounted on a special rubber suspension to reduce vibration and conduction of noise into the cab.

You need just one key to lock and unlock all the doors and start the engine.

The high-comfort air-suspension seat with armrest is standard.

An automotive-like soft-touch dashboard is easier to keep clean.

Standard features include electrically adjustable mirrors and a mobile USB charger.
