Description
DX230LC-9 | Develon
Smarter Solutions for Safer Job Sites
The Develon DX230LC-9 introduces advanced safety technology to the 23-ton excavator class, helping operators work more confidently in challenging environments. Virtual Walls (e-fencing) allow you to define machine movement limits, making the excavator ideal for tight urban jobsites and work around obstacles. Optional Smart Around View Monitor (SAVM) and Human Detection System (HDS) technologies combine six cameras, radar sensors, and artificial intelligence to provide a complete 360-degree view of the machine's surroundings. The integrated E-Stop system automatically slows the excavator when a person is detected within 13 feet and brings the machine to a complete stop if someone enters within 6.5 feet.
Advanced Technology for Greater Productivity
The DX230LC-9 is equipped with intelligent features designed to improve efficiency and precision on every job. An onboard weighing system helps operators accurately manage material volumes and optimize truck loading. Lift Assist and Advanced Lift Assist provide real-time lifting capacity information while alerting operators to potential tipping conditions. Breaker Assist helps prevent blank firing, reducing attachment wear and extending equipment life. Factory-installed 2D machine guidance and machine control systems provide accurate grade guidance and excavation assistance, helping improve productivity while reducing rework.
Redesigned Cab for Operator Comfort
A completely redesigned cab enhances operator comfort and control throughout the workday. The customizable joystick allows operators to personalize controls, including stick steer and thumbwheel steer functions, while the large 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen display provides quick access to machine settings and performance information. Automotive-style heating and air conditioning, larger air vents, and improved windshield defrosting create a more comfortable working environment in all seasons.
Built to Maximize Uptime
The DX230LC-9 is engineered to deliver long-term value through improved fuel efficiency, simplified maintenance, and intelligent machine monitoring. Four selectable power modes allow operators to balance fuel consumption and performance based on application demands, while the exclusive D-ECOPOWER™ hydraulic system optimizes productivity and fuel economy. Ground-level access to filters simplifies routine maintenance, and Advanced Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) technology continuously monitors critical components such as hydraulic oil, engine oil, and main pumps to help predict maintenance needs, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs.

With the optional SAVM and human-detection package, Collision Avoidance Assist slows the machine when a person is within 13 feet and stops it within 6.5 feet.
Factory 2D Guidance and Control
Integrated guidance and grade-control capability helps operators work more accurately and efficiently.
Fully Electro-Hydraulic Controls
Electronic pumps, valves and customizable joysticks provide precise response, stick steer and thumbwheel steer.
12-Inch Smart Touch Display
The high-resolution, split-screen interface keeps machine information, cameras and grade functions easy to see and manage.
36,376 lbf Bucket Force
ISO power-boost digging force supports difficult breakout work, while 56 gpm main-pump flow keeps hydraulic functions responsive.
