Suwanee, Georgia - DEVELON., a part of HD Hyundai Infracore and a construction equipment manufacturer, has unveiled its latest material handling innovation, the DX270WMH-7 wheel material handler, designed to deliver higher productivity, enhanced safety, and improved operator comfort for recycling and solid waste facilities.
The new model, part of DEVELON’s -7 Series, combines extended reach, an elevated hydraulic cab riser, and advanced operator-focused features to meet the demands of modern recycling operations.
Engineered on an in-house chassis, the DX270WMH-7 is purpose-built for paved recycling facilities, offering durability and reduced downtime. Its nearly 3-foot longer reach and raised cab give operators an optimal vantage point for loading trucks, railcars, and containers. A new virtual wall feature prevents accidental boom and arm collisions, increasing safety in confined spaces.
Mr. Brian Kim, Heavy excavator product manager at DEVELON, said, “A wheel material handler needs to be more than powerful - it should be smart, adaptable and a true partner to the operator. The DX270WMH-7 delivers on all fronts. Its exceptional versatility allows operators to complete a range of recycling tasks. And it features our -7 Series cab design and safety technologies, allowing operators to work longer, more comfortably and with greater peace of mind.”
The elevated cab provides safer ground-level entry and adjustable working heights. Inside, operators benefit from a heated air-suspension seat, climate control, joystick steering, and an 8-inch LCD monitor with Bluetooth connectivity. Safety enhancements include a 360-degree around view monitor (AVM), wider outriggers for stability, LED work lights, a collision-prevention system, and seatbelt and site alarms, ensuring secure operations in demanding environments.
The DX270WMH-7 features a DPF-free system, reversible cooling fan, and MY DEVELON telematics to cut downtime and boost fleet efficiency. Joining DEVELON’s DX225MH-5 and DX300MH-5 handlers, the new model strengthens the brand’s reputation for reliable, innovative solutions in recycling and waste, setting a new benchmark for safety, comfort, and performance.
