Develon Series 9 Excavators and E-Stop Technology at Samoter 2026

Develon presents its Series 9 crawler excavators and E-Stop safety technology at the Samoter 2026 construction equipment exhibition in Verona.  na.develon-ce.com Develon is presenting the DX360LC-9 and DX400HD-9 intelligent crawler excavators at the Samoter 2026 event in Verona, Italy. These models represent the introduction of the Series 9 range to the Italian market, focusing on digital integration and automated systems for the construction industry. The DX360LC-9 is positioned in the outdoor Digital Construction Site area to demonstrate safety systems, while the DX400HD-9 is displayed to show the technical architecture of high-capacity excavators. Technical Specifications and Engine Integration The Series 9 excavators utilize a platform based on Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) technology and integrated artificial intelligence. This system coordinates the engine and hydraulic components to regulate fuel consumption and movement precision. The DX360LC-9 and DX400HD-9 are powered by the Develon DX08V engine, which replaces previous Scania units. In the 37-tonne DX360LC-9, this engine produces 227 kW at 1,800 rpm, providing a digging depth of 7,512 mm. The 42-tonne DX400HD-9 utilizes a two-stage turbocharger to reach 254 kW and 1,460 kgf/m of torque, maintaining the same digging depth and reach specifications for heavy-duty applications. E-Stop Safety System Mechanism The Series 9 models include the E-Stop technology, which received the Samoter Innovation Award 2026. This system employs a Smart Around View Monitor (SAVM) camera setup and artificial intelligence to identify personnel within the machine's operating radius. A secondary radar system monitors objects up to 6 meters away. When the system detects a person or object in a designated zone, it automatically initiates a command to slow or stop the machine's rotation and travel movements to prevent contact. This automated intervention is designed to reduce the risk of accidents caused by blind spots or operator fatigue. Articulated Dump Truck and Dozer Developments The DA30-7 articulated dump truck features an updated cab design focused on operator interface and visibility. A 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen provides centralized access to machine parameters and camera feeds, allowing for monitoring of operational data without manual gauges. Similarly, the DD130-7 dozer utilizes a compact engine compartment design to increase blade visibility for grading tasks. This model includes an 8-inch display and a suspended seat integrated with joystick controls to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the operator during light construction work. Specialized Excavation and Loading Equipment For urban environments, the DX140RDM-7 demolition excavator features a modular boom for switching between digging and demolition tasks. Stability is maintained through a hydraulically extendable undercarriage that adjusts from 2.5 meters for transport to 3.7 meters for operation. In the wheel loader category, the DL420CVT-7 utilizes a continuously variable transmission to manage power delivery in quarrying and material handling. The bucket design has been modified to increase capacity to 4.5 cubic meters, facilitating higher volume throughput per cycle. Compact Excavator Range The display at Samoter includes the Stage V-compliant Series 7 mini excavators, including the DX27Z-7K, DX55R-7, and DX85R-7. These machines are designed for tasks requiring specific lifting and digging capacities within restricted spatial footprints. The design focuses on component selection that balances machine weight with hydraulic output for consistent performance in small-scale construction applications.
