Develon, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, will be holding the company’s first Demo Days event from 23-27 September 2024 in the Czech Republic. Around 600 customers and dealers from 14 countries all around Europe are expected to attend the event being hosted for the first time at a new site in Milovice close to the capital city, Prague. 

With a choice of over 25 different machines available, customers will have their first opportunity to try out some of the newest models and latest innovations in the Develon range. Demo Days will also see the unveiling of new collaborations with leading industry suppliers and products being shown for the first time.    

Unrivalled Product Array to Try Out

New machines being made available for the first time at Develon Demo Days include; 

• DX225LC-7X ‘Smart’ crawler excavator  
• DA45-7 4×4 articulated dump truck (ADT)
• DD130-7 dozer
• DX10Z-7 1 tonne mini-excavator
• DX19-7 2 tonne conventional mini-excavator
• DX20ZE-7 2 tonne electric mini-excavator 

Other new machines include the latest versions of the Develon crawler excavator range up to 53 tonne and the Develon DL-7 wheel loader range, with the updated mid-range machines represented by the DL250-7 model, presenting new features soon to be available throughout the DL-7 range. The product list will be completed by the new DL80 and DL85 compact wheel loaders from Develon. 

All of these products will be top of the list for many attending Demo Days, which provides customers with a unique platform to try out the latest Develon machines in the working conditions of the new Milovice venue. As in previous years, as well as operating the full range of Develon machines themselves, visitors will have the full assistance and advice provided by the many Develon product experts in attendance.

With the wide choice of state-of-the-art Develon machines available to try out, Demo Days meets requests from dealers and customers for hands-on testing of the latest machines in true working environments. As a precursor to agreeing current and future purchase deals, this provides advantages for Develon dealers and helps to strengthen customer relationships.

Unlike many manufacturers, where customers are only allowed to view companies’ staged demonstrations of machines, Develon is continuing the tradition of previous events, listening to customer requests with this latest Demo Days programme. The event is designed to provide them with the best possible experience, backed by support, expertise and consultation provided by Develon demonstrators, trainers and product managers. It will also provide entertainment for visitors, taking advantage of the backdrop provided by the beautiful city of Prague in many thriller and super hero films.       

Product Highlights at Develon Demo Days 

• Develon excavators are well known for offering more innovative features as standard than other machines on the market. As the company’s first ‘Smart’ crawler excavator, the new DX225LC-7X is designed to help operators work faster and more efficiently. To facilitate this, the DX225LC-7X offers a number of exciting new features as standard, including Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) technology. 

• In the new DA45-7 4×4 ADT, the front truck and cab unit is the same as in the market-leading DA30-7 and DA45-7 6×6 models, with modifications being made on the rear dumper unit only. Featuring a ZF EP8-420 transmission, the 4×4 DA45-7 is a two-axle ADT with twin wheels at the rear, and with a dumper section similar to that on RDTs in the 40-tonne class. 

• Develon has entered the European dozer market with the launch of the new DD130-7 model. The new DD130-7 dozer offers a wide range of features of interest to customers, resulting in a productive fine-grading solution for residential and light commercial construction projects. 

• The new DX10Z-7 1 tonne zero tail swing mini-excavator provides a significantly improved performance compared to the previous DX10Z model it replaces. The DX10Z-7 is compact and easy to transport, offering a width of only 730 mm when the tracks and the front blade are fully retracted, allowing the machine to pass through doors. 

• The DX19-7 conventional Stage V compliant mini-excavator also provides significantly increased performance, versatility, operator comfort and easier maintenance than the previous generation machines it replaces. 

• The 2 tonne DX20ZE-7 electric mini-excavator combines low-noise and zero emissions with the features and performance enhancements that are found on the next-generation DX-7 Series family of mini-excavators. 

• Develon wheel loaders well known for productivity, efficiency, comfort and safety. Newly available parallel lift, seat with cooling, joystick steering for all models and much more.

• Develon now offers a five model range of 3.5 to 5 tonne compact wheel loaders. At the Demo Days, the Develon compact wheel loader range will be represented by the DL80-7 and the DL85-7 models.
