Develon, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, has launched the new DX140LC-7K 14.6 tonne crawler excavator, replacing the company’s successful DX140LC-7 model.
Whilst the performance and working range are the same as the DX140LC-7, the new machine incorporates many improvements that enhance safety and convenience both for the operator and for working on site, together with a better operator experience, particularly from a maintenance point of view.
The main improvements on the new DX140LC-7K model include:
* Better maintenance access
* Safer access to the upper structure
* Better rear visibility
* Better right-side visibility
* New dashboard with tablet design, offering faster response
The upgraded serviceability of the DX140LC-7K includes better access to the DEF tank and the fuel refilling hose. This is combined with a much easier approach for the operator to the engine compartment via new anti-slip steps and handrails positioned behind the cab. The anti-slip steps are protected and secured by a new door on the side of the excavator.
The DX140LC-7K also has a new flattened engine cover design that has reduced the maximum height of cover components on the back of the machine from 1285.5 mm and 1320 mm down to a uniform 1070 mm across all of the back of the machine. This now offers much better visibility for the operator both to the rear and to the right hand side of the machine.
