Develon’s DX27Z-7 Navigate Tight Residential Lot Lines
Develon’s DX27Z-7 mini-excavator is a versatile unit designed for high-utilization rental fleets. Featuring a zero tail-swing design and a compact 60-inch width, it navigates tight residential lot lines and landscaping projects where larger equipment cannot fit.
Weighing approximately 2.8 metric tons, the DX27Z-7 safely stays within legal towing limits for hauling behind standard work trucks, featuring easy-to-access tie-down points for faster transport security. The excavator delivers digging and lifting power, allowing DIYers and contractors alike to move pipes or heavy hardscaping materials.
To maximize rental versatility, the unit arrives attachment-ready with a thumb-ready arm, auxiliary hydraulic lines and a hydraulic quick-coupler design. Operators will enjoy the premium enclosed cab, which features productivity via a high-quality AC system, intuitive fingertip controls, a full-color LCD screen and high illumination LED lamps.
