DX260LC-9 | Develon

Smarter Solutions for Safer Job Sites

The Develon DX260LC-9 brings advanced safety technology to the 26-ton excavator class, helping operators work confidently in demanding environments. Virtual Walls (e-fencing) allow you to define machine movement limits, enhancing safety by restricting operation within preset boundaries. 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 DX260LC-9 is equipped with intelligent technologies that help maximize productivity and jobsite efficiency. An onboard weighing system allows operators to accurately monitor material volumes and optimize truck loading, while Lift Assist and Advanced Lift Assist provide real-time lifting capacity information and warn of potential tipping hazards. Breaker Assist helps prevent blank firing, reducing attachment wear and extending equipment life. Factory-installed 2D machine guidance and machine control systems deliver accurate grade guidance and excavation assistance, helping operators complete jobs faster with greater precision.

Redesigned Cab for Operator Comfort

The redesigned operator station enhances comfort, visibility, and ease of operation throughout long workdays. A 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 information and system settings. Automotive-style heating and air conditioning, high-capacity air vents, and improved windshield defrosting create a comfortable operating environment in any season.

Built to Maximize Uptime

Designed to reduce operating costs and increase machine availability, the DX260LC-9 features four selectable power modes that optimize fuel consumption and performance for varying jobsite conditions. The exclusive D-ECOPOWER™ hydraulic system improves productivity while reducing fuel usage. Ground-level access to routine service points simplifies maintenance, while 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, minimize downtime, and lower long-term service costs.
