Develon DL-7 Wheel Loaders Introduce New Features for Enhanced Performance and Comfort

Develon, formerly known as Doosan Construction Equipment, has unveiled an array of new features and options designed to upgrade the performance, safety, and operator experience of its award-winning DL-7 wheel loader series. Covering 11 models, from the compact DL200-7 to the heavy-duty DL580-7, these enhancements focus on precision, comfort, and versatility to maximize efficiency across multiple industries.

With bucket capacities ranging from 2.0 to 6.4 m³, the DL-7 wheel loaders are engineered for demanding tasks, including material handling, recycling, construction, mining, and demolition. Let’s dive into the key updates that set these machines apart.

Parallel Lift System for Precise Handling

A standout improvement in the smaller models, from DL200-7 to DL380-7, is the Parallel Lift System now included as standard. This system incorporates electro-hydraulic compensation to maintain the horizontal alignment of pallet forks during lifting. The forks automatically stay level, ensuring balanced, stable loads and reducing the risk of spillage. This feature is particularly useful for pallet handling and lifting operations, enabling safer and more efficient loading and unloading processes.

The parallel lift system enhances precision and stability, increasing productivity and operator confidence in any work environment.

Electric Joystick Steering for Greater Control

Operators of the DL200-7 through DL280-7 models can now enjoy electric joystick steering, a feature previously exclusive to larger wheel loaders. Integrated into the armrest, this joystick allows for more comfortable, stress-free operation during repetitive tasks or in tight spaces.

The joystick’s ergonomic design provides precise machine control with minimal effort, reducing operator fatigue. Its sensitivity can be adjusted via the SmartTouch touchscreen monitor, which consolidates all critical settings and information into an intuitive display.

Full LED Lighting Package for Maximum Visibility

The DL-7 series now features a comprehensive LED Lighting Package for enhanced visibility and safety in all conditions. The package includes:

LED work lights for powerful illumination during night operations or low-light conditions.
LED road lights to improve safety during material transportation.
Heated, electrically adjustable mirrors, preventing fog and ice buildup while allowing operators to adjust mirror angles without leaving the cab.

These lighting upgrades provide operators with unmatched visibility, allowing them to work efficiently and safely, even in challenging environments.

Enhanced Cab Comfort and Smart Key Access

Inside the cab, operators will find improved comfort with the option of a heated and ventilated seat featuring adjustable suspension and pneumatic lumbar support. The ergonomic design also includes a 3-point safety belt with alarm indicators on the SmartTouch monitor and gauge panel.

A new Develon Smart Key system offers keyless start functionality, remote door control, and anti-theft protection. Additional convenience comes from dual USB sockets on the control panel, ensuring operators can stay connected during long shifts.

Hydraulic Upgrades: Quick Couplers and 3rd Spool Piping

To improve versatility, all DL-7 wheel loaders now come standard with a 3rd spool valve featuring adjustable flow and detent function for hydraulically driven attachments. A quick coupler and 3rd spool piping are now standard on the DL200-7, DL220-7, DL250-7, and DL280-7, with these features available as options for larger models.

These upgrades make it easier for operators to switch between attachments, streamlining workflows and increasing the loaders’ adaptability to a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

Develon’s DL-7 wheel loader series has been elevated to new heights with these cutting-edge enhancements. By prioritizing operator comfort, visibility, and performance, these machines are ready to take on the toughest tasks in construction, mining, material handling, and more.

With advanced features like the parallel lift system, electric joystick steering, and full LED lighting, Develon continues to set the standard for innovation in the wheel loader market.
