Develon DX17Z-7 1.8T Mini Excavator

The Develon DX17Z-7 is a compact mini excavator that combines easy transport with the digging performance needed for everyday contracting work.

With an operating weight of 1,850 kg, adjustable width and zero tail swing design, it’s particularly well suited to residential construction, landscaping and tight-access excavation throughout Adelaide and South Australia.

Compact When Access Gets Tight

The DX17Z-7 can reduce its overall width to just 980 mm, allowing operators to get into narrow areas where larger machines simply won’t fit.

Once you’re through the access point, the undercarriage can be expanded to 1,360 mm to provide a wider and more stable working platform.

This makes the DX17Z-7 a practical machine for:

• Tight-access excavation
• Residential construction
• Landscaping and site preparation
• Plumbing and drainage
• Electrical and utility trenches
• Footings and foundations
• Property maintenance
• General earthmoving

Zero Tail Swing

When you’re working between a house and boundary fence or alongside an existing structure, every bit of space matters.

The zero tail swing design allows the DX17Z-7 to rotate within a compact footprint, reducing the risk of the rear of the machine contacting nearby obstacles.

It’s a particularly useful feature for established Adelaide properties and busy construction sites where working room can be limited.

Kubota Powered Performance

The DX17Z-7 is powered by a reliable Kubota D902 diesel engine, producing 12.1 kW at 2,400 rpm.

Smooth, proportional hydraulic controls provide the precision needed for detailed excavation and trenching, while a maximum digging depth of 2,240 mm gives the machine plenty of capability for its compact size.

Maximum reach at ground level is 3,910 mm, helping operators cover more of the working area without continually repositioning the excavator.

Easy to Transport Between Jobs

At under two tonnes operating weight, the DX17Z-7 provides an attractive combination of portability and performance.

For contractors moving between multiple Adelaide job sites, its compact dimensions make transport and site access easier without dropping down to a smaller excavator with less digging capability.
