The 24.7 hp, 6,171 lb. DX27Z-7 mini excavator provides a new size class within the DEVELON lineup. Featuring a zero tail swing design and a 61-inch width, it can travel between homes on tight lot lines or work next to existing structures where other equipment doesn’t fit. Maneuverable and powerful, it can take on projects previously done using manual labor.
The DX27Z-7 features an increased, integrated counterweight to enhance digging and lifting performance, a backfill blade, and a rubber track undercarriage for superior flotation and traction. A long-arm option is available when you need more reach and dig depth.
Do More Using Mini Excavator Attachments
This versatile model includes a thumb-ready arm, a hydraulic quick-coupler-ready design and auxiliary hydraulic lines that make it easy to connect hoses when adding hydraulic attachments.
The DX27Z-7 is attachment-ready, so you can do more than dig and take on a variety of jobs using one machine. DEVELON attachments include a bucket, thumb and quick coupler.
Telematics Comes Standard
The latest in telematics technology is standard on the DX27Z-7 model — making it easier for you to protect your machine investment.
DEVELON Fleet Management is a powerful equipment diagnostic tool you can use to monitor the health, location and productivity of your DX27Z-7 from a user-friendly mobile app and website — with free monitoring, no contract and no fees.
Compact equipment is among the most frequently stolen construction equipment in North America. Now you can remotely monitor your machine and be notified when it moves outside of a predetermined area or if it is operated during non-working hours.
Focused on Operator Comfort
All -7 Series mini excavators offer best-top quality air conditioning, all-around visibility and intuitive DEVELON controls — to take productivity to a new level when working on the most challenging jobsites.
The enhanced air conditioning system with excellent airflow, and redesigned seat base with extra layers of insulation take you off the hot seat — and keep you working in comfort all day.
Other features include a standard enclosed cab, fingertip controls, full-color LCD screen, high-illumination LED lamps and common DEVELON controls for operational consistency across all DEVELON machines.
