DEVELON set for first appearance at the GaLaBau 2024 in Germany
DEVELON, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, will make its first appearance at the 2024 edition of the GaLaBau International Trade Fair from 11-14 September 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany. Develon will be represented at Galabau by dealers from its German dealer network, plus the new company owned store located in Mannheim serving the larger Rhein-Neckar and Rhein-Main area.
Develon will display and demonstrate a range of compact equipment for the construction and maintenance needs of the gardening and landscaping sectors, including the DX100W-7 10.7 tonne wheeled excavator offering a high performance solution for customers looking for a wheeled excavator designed primarily for local authority, amenity, urban and maintenance applications.
For this type of work, the DX100W-7 offers the best compromise between compactness and agility, complemented by excellent productivity and high-end comfort. It is very important that this type of machine can operate in very restricted areas, so the DX100W-7 can be equipped with the option of four wheel steering and a crabbing mode, with two wheel steering as standard.
Alongside the DX100W-7 at Galabau will be the DX20ZE-7 Mini-Excavator, the first mass-produced electric-powered excavator manufactured by Develon. This 2 tonne model combines low-noise and zero emissions with the features and performance enhancements that are found on the next generation DX-7 family of mini-excavators.
Also included in the stand display will be one of the models from the selection of three 5-6 tonne mini-excavators from Develon – the DX50Z-7 5.4 tonne, DX55R-7 5.7 tonne or DX63-7 6 tonne Stage V compliant models. Like all Develon mini-excavators, these are designed to offer maximum performance, optimum stability, increased versatility, enhanced operator comfort, controllability, durability, ease of maintenance and serviceability.
New Compact Equipment Focus
Over the last two years, Develon has further developed the company’s range of compact equipment by expanding its choice of mini-excavators to now include 13 models from 1 to 10 tonne, with more to be added later this year. A range of Compact Wheel Loaders is also part of this dedicated compact focus with five models available for material handling, construction, agriculture and landscaping.
Further Growth & Commitment to the German Market
In June 2023, Develon opened an interim Company Owned Store at Seckenheimer Landstraße in Mannheim, supporting customers on site with a well-equipped new rental fleet of the latest generation of construction machines, with a fast spare parts supply and other services, as well as a wide range of new machines.
The branch will relocate to a new 10,650 m² site on Lembacher Strasse in Mannheim in the fourth quarter of 2024. A state-of-the-art customer and training centre with much larger workshops and parts distribution system will also be opened there.
Overall, this shows Develon is moving much closer to customers and dealers and is committed to Germany as a long-term location and underlines the company‘s ambitions to significantly expand its presence and market position in the German speaking market.
