Develon’s new DX340LL-7 log loader is designed to fill the 40- to 45-tonne size-class gap, offering the power and reach of a larger machine without the associated transport challenges and costs.
The new model delivers high swing torque and tractive force, which are essential for uphill logging work and heavy-load manoeuvring.
“Demand in the DX340LL-7 size class has remained relatively stable in recent years, particularly for operators in the Pacific Northwest who require heavy-duty performance on rugged terrain,” said Brian Kim, Product Manager at Develon.
The Develon DX340LL-7 log loader is designed for demanding timber-harvesting and log-handling environments.
More news from Develon:
The log loader is powered by a fuel-efficient Develon diesel engine that meets Tier 4 emissions standards without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), reducing maintenance costs and increasing uptime.
For more power, operators can engage a one-touch hydraulic power boost on the right-hand joystick for an instant hydraulic surge when handling maximum loads.
Workplace safety and operator confidence are at the forefront of the DX340LL-7 log loader.
The new log loader comes equipped with the following features:
- Cab riser: The standard 1.2-metre cab riser and narrow cab pillars provide an exceptional view of the worksite. An optional rear-entry cab door will be available from the factory.
- Forestry-certified cab: Side- and rear-entry forestry cabs are available, certified to Oregon OSHA and British Columbia WCB standards.
- Advanced camera system: Side- and rearview cameras are standard.
- Standard safety features: A travel alarm, LED work lights and a standard straight-travel pedal (side-entry cab only) for easier manoeuvring are included.
To help reduce operator fatigue during long shifts, the DX340LL-7 log loader features a premium workstation, including a heated and cooled air-suspension seat (rear cab only) that can be easily adjusted to match operator preferences. A 20-cm LCD multifunction monitor allows operators to view machine diagnostics and camera feeds simultaneously.
As well, the DX340LL-7 comes standard with the My Develon fleet management system. This telematics system enables owners to remotely monitor machine health, location and productivity through a mobile app or website.
