Operating weights show the standard arm with the high-lift configuration noted where offered; the DL580-7 is a single heavy-duty configuration. Most models offer standard and high-lift lift-arm packages, ride control, the Transparent Bucket System and three power modes (P/S/E). The DL200-7 is hydrostatic and uses a DOC/SCR/DPF aftertreatment; the rest are powershift and meet Tier 4 Final without a DPF. Specifications subject to change — contact Carleton Equipment to confirm the right configuration.

Develon -7 Series in Action
-7 Series Wheel Loader Features
Exclusive Develon Technology
See Through the Bucket. Work Safer. Move Faster.
The Transparent Bucket System is exclusive to Develon and changes how operators interact with their machine. A camera mounted behind the bucket projects a real-time view through the Smart Touch display — giving you visibility of the ground directly in front of the cutting edge that traditional line-of-sight simply can't provide. Pair it with the optional Around View Monitor (AVM) system for a complete 360° picture of your surroundings.
Understanding the Lineup
Ten Loaders, Four Size Classes
Every DEVELON -7 Series wheel loader shares the same DNA — the exclusive Transparent Bucket System, the Smart Touch display and a 3-year / 3,000-hour warranty — so the choice comes down to size. Here's how the ten models group together before you compare specs.
Compact
142–189 hp · 2.6–3.7 yd³
DL200-7 · DL220-7 · DL250-7 · DL280-7
Agile loaders for landscaping, agriculture, snow and lighter site work. The DL200-7 is hydrostatic; the rest add a torque-converter powershift for more rimpull.
Mid-Size Production
271 hp · 4.6–5.1 yd³
DL320-7 · DL380-7
DL08-powered all-rounders for steady production loading, aggregate yards and construction — the do-it-all middle of the range.
Large
345–380 hp · 5.5–6.8 yd³
DL420-7 · DL480-7 · DL550-7
Scania-powered high-production loaders for quarries, aggregate and heavy truck loading, with redesigned cabs and more glass area.
Flagship
394 hp · 8.4 yd³
DL580-7
The largest, most powerful DEVELON loader — a single heavy-duty configuration built for pits, quarries, mines, demolition and industrial work, with standard centralized lubrication.
Standard vs High-Lift Arms The standard arm maximizes lift capacity and tipping load; the high-lift arm trades some capacity for greater reach and dump height to load taller trucks and hoppers.
HST vs Powershift The DL200-7 uses a hydrostatic (HST) drive for smooth, precise low-speed control; the larger models use a torque-converter powershift for strong rimpull and higher travel speeds.
Transparent Bucket System A camera behind the bucket projects a real-time view through the Smart Touch display — showing the ground in front of the cutting edge that line-of-sight can't. Exclusive to DEVELON.
Smart Load Weighing An integrated on-board scale weighs material right from the cab through the Smart Touch display — load trucks to target weight without overloading or short-loading.
How to Choose
Match the Loader to the Job
Two questions size a wheel loader: how much material you move per pass (bucket capacity and breakout) and what you load into (truck and hopper height). Match the bucket to your trucks so you fill them in an even number of passes, then choose a standard or high-lift arm for the dump height you need.
| Size Class | Models | Power | Bucket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | DL200-7 – DL280-7 | 142–189 hp | 2.6–3.7 yd³ |
| Mid-Size | DL320-7 / DL380-7 | 271 hp | 4.6–5.1 yd³ |
| Large | DL420-7 – DL550-7 | 345–380 hp | 5.5–6.8 yd³ |
| Flagship | DL580-7 | 394 hp | 8.4 yd³ |
Landscaping, ag, snow & light site work — agile, precise, easy to move
→ Compact (DL200–DL280)
Steady production loading & aggregate yards — the do-it-all middle
→ Mid-Size (DL320 / DL380)
High-production quarry & heavy truck loading
→ Large (DL420–DL550)
Pits, quarries, mines & the biggest pushes
→ Flagship DL580-7
Loading tall trucks & hoppers — more reach and dump height
→ High-Lift arm
Rule of thumb: size the bucket so it fills your haul truck in 3–5 even passes — too small wastes cycles, too big leaves trucks under-loaded. Add a high-lift arm for tall targets and pick the right tires for your ground. Not sure which fits? Tell us your trucks and material and we'll spec it.
Where They Work
Applications by Industry
Quarry & Aggregate
Face loading, rehandling and high-production truck loading with big breakout.
DL420 – DL580Construction
Site development, bulk material handling and load-and-carry on busy sites.
DL280 – DL480Landscaping & Ag
Mulch, compost, feed and bulk handling — agile loaders with precise control.
DL200 – DL280Snow & Industrial
Snow pushing, scrap, recycling and port work — versatility with attachments.
DL200 – DL580
Built to Load
Engineered for Productivity
Three things make a DEVELON wheel loader move more material per shift — exclusive visibility technology, smart in-cab tools and a cooling system built for uptime.
1
Transparent Bucket & AVM
A camera behind the bucket projects a see-through view of the ground past the cutting edge on the Smart Touch display, and the optional Around View Monitor stitches a 360° bird's-eye view — for safer, more precise loading in tight spaces.
2
Smart Touch & Smart Load
One intuitive touch display controls cameras, HVAC, power modes and machine settings, with integrated Smart Load weighing so you load trucks to target weight from the cab — no second pass, no overloading fines.
3
Cooling Built for Uptime
Wider radiator fin spacing resists clogging and a standard variable-speed auto-reversing fan purges debris from the cooling cores — keeping the machine working in dusty, high-debris environments with less daily cleanout.
Add three power modes (Power / Standard / Economy), ride control and a redesigned operator station with more glass area — and you get more material moved with lower fuel use and less operator fatigue, backed by a standard 3-year / 3,000-hour warranty.
Good to Know
Emissions & Configurations
All ten loaders meet EPA Tier 4 Final emissions. The compact DL200-7 uses a DOC/SCR/DPF aftertreatment package, while the DL220-7 and every larger model meet Tier 4 without a diesel particulate filter (DPF) — no regeneration downtime and simpler maintenance. The largest models pair a Scania engine with a DEF (SCR) system.
Most models offer standard and high-lift lift-arm packages — standard for maximum capacity and tipping load, high-lift for reach and dump height. The DL200-7 is hydrostatic; the rest are powershift (with an optional 5-speed lock-up on many). The flagship DL580-7 comes in a single heavy-duty configuration with a standard 5-speed lock-up transmission and standard centralized lubrication.
