More information about Develon DX55R-7 5.5T Mini Excavator
The Develon DX55R-7 is designed for contractors who need strong digging and lifting performance but still want the manoeuvrability of a compact excavator.
With an operating weight of approximately 5.7 tonnes, a reduced tail swing design and a maximum digging depth of around 3.63 metres, the DX55R-7 is a versatile machine for construction, civil and earthmoving projects across Adelaide and South Australia.
Reduced Tail Swing for More Working Flexibility
The DX55R-7’s reduced tail swing makes it easier to operate where space around the machine is limited.
An increased counterweight provides additional stability, while the machine’s offset digging capability helps operators work effectively alongside structures and in confined areas.
It’s well suited to:
- Residential and commercial construction
- Civil and infrastructure projects
- Trenching and drainage
- Utility installation
- Roadside excavation
- Landscaping and retaining walls
- Site preparation and earthmoving
- Working close to buildings and other obstacles
Develon Turbocharged Power
The DX55R-7 is powered by the Develon D18 turbocharged diesel engine, producing 47.1 hp net at 2,200 rpm.
With up to 9,766.5 lbf of bucket digging force and 6,150.9 lbf of arm digging force, there’s plenty of capability for harder ground, deeper excavation and demanding day-to-day contracting work.
Reach Further and Dig Deeper
A maximum digging depth of approximately 3,630 mm gives the DX55R-7 the working range required for deeper trenches, drainage and utility projects.
Maximum reach at ground level is approximately 5,940 mm, providing operators with greater flexibility without constantly repositioning the machine.
Comfortable, Familiar Cabin
The DX55R-7 cabin takes design cues from Develon’s larger excavators, giving operators a comfortable and familiar working environment.
Cabin features include:
- Enclosed operator environment
- Powerful air conditioning
- Comfortable operator seating
- Easy-to-use controls
- Excellent visibility around the machine
- Control layout inspired by larger Develon excavators
For contractors spending long days in the machine, these features can make a noticeable difference.
