Develon and engcon join forces
New collaboration delivers factory-integrated, tiltrotator-ready excavators offering greater flexibility and efficiency
ENGCON, one of the world’s leading tiltrotator manufacturers, have partnered with Develon to integrate their advanced tiltrotator technology into the new DX230LC-9 and DX260LC-9 crawler excavator models.
The collaboration means the latest Develon 9 Series models will now leave the factory tiltrotator-ready, setting a new benchmark for installation simplicity, operational efficiency, and machine versatility.
The factory-prepared solution allows for quick and straightforward installation of engcon’s DC3 tiltrotators, removing the need for complex retrofits. Both sandwich solutions and direct-mounted DC3 tiltrotators are supported, with full compatibility across Develon’s 2D guidance and aftermarket 3D machine control systems.
For rental firms, this development ensures fleets can be adapted quickly to meet customer needs, with tiltrotators easily added or swapped between machines.
Sam Ryan, global OEM manager at engcon, commented: ‘This collaboration with Develon allows us to provide a more advanced and integrated solution for end customers, while simplifying installation for our dealers and rental partners. By ensuring Develon’s 9 Series excavators are tiltrotator-ready, we’re making it easier than ever for operators worldwide to adopt tiltrotator technology.’
The partnership between Develon and engcon underlines an industry-wide trend toward closer collaboration between OEMs and tiltrotator specialists, with machines increasingly designed for maximum efficiency and productivity as standard.
