The DEVELON DL280-7 wheel loader is a versatile and high-performing earthmoving machine. It is an ideal size for many of today's bustling construction job sites.

As part of the DEVELON -7 Series next-generation wheel loaders, the DL280-7 delivers exceptional productivity, durability, reliability, safety, operator comfort, fuel economy and versatility, according to the manufacturer.

On display at World of Concrete with a 3-cu.-yd. bucket, the 189.1-hp DL280-7 is designed for a variety of tasks, including scooping, carrying materials and loading. The machine has a dump height of 9 ft. 3 in. and is available in a high-lift configuration for additional dump height and reach.

A durable box frame provides optimal balance, lifting capacity and load distribution. The frame's articulating design enhances structural rigidity and extends the machine's lifespan.

Additional performance features include standard ride control for added comfort, reduced cycle times, higher travel speeds, less material loss and higher productivity when loading and carrying material. The wheel loader's limited slip differential allows the wheel with the most traction to receive the proper torque, providing enhanced tractive effort and maneuverability in tough terrain.

"Upgraded features in -7 Series machines include strong ZF heavy-duty axles and larger bucket capacities, for select models, to carry more and maximize productivity," said Bill Zak, DEVELON wheel loader product manager.
