Description

Develon DX170LC-7

Easier Transportation for Greater Flexibility

The Develon DX170LC-7 is designed to simplify equipment transportation without sacrificing performance. Its narrow width and reduced operating weight make it an excellent choice for residential construction, landscaping, utility work, and light excavation. In many applications, the combined weight of the excavator, trailer, and Class 7 tow vehicle can remain under the 80,000-pound GVWR threshold, eliminating the need for special transport permits and making it easier to move between jobsites.

Powerful Performance with Precise Control

The DX170LC-7 delivers the power and versatility needed for a wide range of excavation tasks. Four selectable work modes allow operators to match machine performance to the application, while Smart Power Control (SPC) optimizes hydraulic and engine output to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing productivity. Working alongside the Mechatronics system, the engine's electronic controls synchronize hydraulic performance, power delivery, fuel consumption, auto-idle, and machine diagnostics to provide smooth operation, precise grading, and responsive control in demanding conditions.

Operator Comfort and Convenience

Designed with operator productivity in mind, the DX170LC-7 features a modern cab that combines exceptional comfort with intuitive controls. A standard heated air-suspension seat with multiple adjustment options helps reduce fatigue, while an available heated and cooled seat provides additional comfort during extreme temperatures. Excellent visibility, high-performance climate control, ample storage, and ergonomic controls create a productive work environment. Operators using optional two-way auxiliary hydraulics can conveniently control attachments with either joystick-mounted buttons or an available foot pedal.

Advanced Display and Visibility

A standard 8-inch color LCD monitor provides easy access to machine settings, operating history, hydraulic flow adjustments, and maintenance information. Integrated split-screen capability allows operators to monitor machine data while simultaneously viewing live camera feeds. Standard rearview and side-view cameras improve visibility around the excavator, helping reduce blind spots and increase jobsite safety.

Built for Long-Term Durability

The DX170LC-7 is engineered for dependable performance in demanding environments. Its rugged D-type frame and reinforced chassis provide exceptional structural strength while minimizing frame distortion. A strengthened boom and arm assembly increase durability for heavy-duty applications, while polymer bucket pivot shims reduce wear and improve grease retention to help extend component life and reduce maintenance requirements.

Simplified Maintenance and Maximum Uptime

Routine maintenance is designed to be fast and convenient with centralized grease points and easy access to major service components, including the air cleaner, fuel filter, oil filter, radiators, and engine compartment. Extended service intervals, reinforced structural components, and durable construction help reduce downtime and ownership costs. Standard MY DEVELON fleet management allows owners to remotely monitor machine health, maintenance schedules, and operating performance to maximize uptime and improve fleet efficiency.

Efficient Tier 4 Performance

The DX170LC-7 meets Tier 4 emissions standards through an advanced high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel system paired with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). This efficient emissions technology delivers reliable power, reduced fuel consumption, and environmentally compliant performance for today's demanding jobsites.
