More information about Develon DX42-7 4.5T Mini Excavator
The Develon DX42-7 is built for contractors who value digging performance, lifting capability and a stable working platform.
Unlike the zero tail swing models in the Develon compact range, the DX42-7 uses a conventional tail swing design. This makes it particularly well suited to open job sites where stability and lifting performance are more important than working within an extremely tight footprint.
With an operating weight of 4,480 kg and 35.1 kW of engine power, it’s a capable machine for construction, civil and earthmoving projects throughout Adelaide and South Australia.
Built for Demanding Excavation
The DX42-7 provides the power and working range needed for larger excavation jobs while remaining compact enough to move efficiently between sites.
It’s well suited to:
- Deep trenching and drainage
- Civil construction
- Pipe and utility installation
- Residential and commercial earthworks
- Site preparation
- Road and infrastructure projects
- Council and maintenance work
- General excavation and material handling
With a maximum digging depth of 3,490 mm, the DX42-7 can comfortably take on deeper trenching and excavation work.
Develon D18 Engine
Power comes from the Develon D18 diesel engine, delivering 35.1 kW at 2,200 rpm.
Combined with the conventional tail design and 4.48-tonne operating weight, the DX42-7 provides a solid, stable platform when digging, lifting and handling heavier materials.
A Better Place to Spend the Working Day
The updated -7 Series cabin has been designed to give the operator excellent visibility around the machine and a comfortable working environment.
Operator features include:
- Full-glass cabin door for improved visibility
- High-illumination LED work lights
- Clear visibility around the working area
- Comfortable operator environment
- Convenient and easy-to-use controls
- Enclosed cabin protection for year-round operation
The additional lighting is particularly useful for contractors starting early or finishing jobs after daylight hours.
