Develon Crawler Excavators

Four Selection Work Modes

Tailor your excavator's performance by changing a few settings using the Smart Touch display to quickly optimize performance and protect your hydraulic components.

Digging: Default setting delivers the performance you need for general excavation and ground utility applications.

Lifting: The increased pump torque, low engine rpm and automatic power boost provide the needed strength and safety when lifting heavy materials like trench boxes, pipes or concrete barriers.

One-way auxiliary hydraulic flow mode: Works great for attachments that only require hydraulic power from one direction, such as breakers or plate compactors.

Two-way auxiliary hydraulic flow: Ideal for attachments that need bi-directional hydraulic flow, such as a hydraulic thumb, shear or crusher.

On select large excavators, choose the swing priority mode for bank cutting and when the swing angle is large to increase the swing speed and maximize productivity. The boom-up function is prioritized when the swing priority is turned off.

Precision & Control

Optional intelligent floating boom mode allows the boom to move freely with the contours of the ground and is ideal for finishing work, hammer application and top loading. When engaged, the boom does not utilize hydraulic flow, increasing efficiency and productivity by saving fuel and improving cycle times.

Fine Swing Function

Select this function to minimize the shaking of a lifted object that occurs at the end of the swing movement, for greater control and accuracy in certain lifting applications. (Available on most models.)

Straight Travel Option

This feature is beneficial for straight forward and backward travel when trenching or traveling long distances across a jobsite. A single foot pedal controls both tracks.

Smart Touch Display

The multilingual touch screen*, standard on all -7 Series crawler excavators, displays all important settings and information on one screen. From the easy-to-read touch screen, operators can monitor critical machine functions, set machine configuration, manage hydraulic attachments, configure the gauge panel, troubleshoot and much more.

Enhanced Visibility

Front, side, rear and overhead windows provide an excellent view of the job. Sunshades help reduce eye strain, and adjustable side window openings allow better communication between the operator and ground crew.

Seven high-illumination LED lights are standard; upgrade to 11 or 13 lights for improved visibility.

The standard rearview camera provides an additional means to view the machine’s surroundings and appears on the Smart Touch display.

Enhanced Undercarriage Structure

The track chain features sealed, self-lubricating links for long-term dependability, and the track spring and idler are connected for long-lasting performance and easy maintenance.

Easy Maintenance Access

Machines offer ground-level access to all filters and easy access to regular inspection points.

Access panels are easy to find and open from the top, bottom and sides of the excavator.

A large engine cover provides plenty of room to reach the top side of the engine, while a hinged belly pan allows access from the bottom.

Solid-steel side panels provide access to regular daily maintenance items to maximize machine uptime.

Centralized grease banks are located on the excavator arm and base of the boom.
