DEVELON’s all-new -7 series log loader and road builder for demanding forestry and timber harvesting

Power and productivity 

The -7 Series log loaders and road builders feature increased tractive force and improve mobility across uneven or soft terrain, even when carrying heavy loads or travelling on inclines. Plus, the fine swing function minimizes shaking when lifting, for greater control, more accuracy, and safer operation.

When maximum lifting power is needed, the one-touch power boost button on the right-hand joystick brings an instant hydraulic boost. Operators can also select from four power modes to match the job at hand, boosting efficiency and conserving fuel.

Comfort and safety features

All DEVELON -7 Series log loaders and road builders are designed with the operator in mind. Here are a few notable features:

• Spacious, all-weather steel cabs deliver superior comfort, clear visibility, and a quiet working environment
• The heated and cooled air-suspension seat, which easily adjusts to individual operator height and weight, comes complete with adjustable headrests and armrests, and an optional 4-point seat belt for added security
• For reduced fatigue and more ergonomic operation, the joystick controls move with the seat
• Front and rear LED lights significantly enhance visibility for night work
• Operators stay informed with the multifunction colour LCD monitor, which displays vital machine diagnostics and video from the standard rearview or side-mounted cameras. A hybrid screen mode lets them view both simultaneously

Road builders can be equipped with an optional around-view monitor (AVM) camera system for a dedicated display showing a full 360-degree view of the machine’s surroundings, boosting confidence in tight spaces.

For enhanced protection, an optional side-entry forestry cab is available for both log loaders and road builders. This cab is certified to Oregon OSHA and British Columbia WCB standards and features guarded polycarbonate front, side, and rear windows. For even greater peace of mind, optional 32-mm polycarbonate glass is also available.

New road builders can be equipped with an optional boom and arm lock valve. All log loader and road builder models include a straight travel pedal as a standard feature, which simplifies moving; this is an option for road builders.
