Develon launches DX1000LC-7, its largest excavator

Develon, formerly known as Doosan Infracore, has introduced its largest excavator, the DX1000LC-7, which weighs 100 metric tonne and is specifically designed for heavy-duty construction and quarry work.

The excavator is designed to enhance productivity. It enables the operator to prioritise either boom or swing action, depending on the task at hand, in order to accelerate cycle times.

For instance, when loading trucks at a 180-degree angle, the operator would give priority to swing action. This directs more hydraulic flow and pressure to the arm, enabling faster movement between the material and the truck. Develon claims that the DX1000LC-7 has the highest swing torque within its class.

Conversely, for an operator engaged in deep trenching, the priority would be on boom action, which is the standard setting. This allows for quicker lifting of the boom out of the trench for dumping.

The excavator is available in two configurations: standard and mass excavation (ME). The ME version features a shorter arm and boom, making it suitable for tasks like mining reclamation. Additionally, the ME version can be equipped with an 8.2-cubic-yard bucket, as opposed to the standard 7 cubic yards.

To enhance strength, Develon has incorporated a cross design for the swing bearing, rather than using ball bearings. According to Escalante, this design choice provides added longevity and enables operators to exert greater force on the machine due to increased breakout forces.

Develon has also reinforced the wear points and key stress points of the excavator.

The DX1000LC-7 runs on a 629-horsepower Perkins engine and boasts a dig depth of nearly 29 feet.

Another notable feature of the DX1000LC-7 is its intelligent boom float function. Escalante explains that this feature eliminates the need for a motor grader when moving large amounts of soil and loading trucks from the top. By using the boom float function, the operator can maintain the bottom of the bucket flat on the ground as they pick up material, thus keeping the path clean without requiring a motor grader.
