The first machine by the new Develon, formerly known as Doosan Infracore, has been launched. A photo of the new excavator sent by the company still has the Doosan name on it, but that will change in time.
It was announced about a month ago that Doosan would change its name to Develon, along with rebranding all its equipment and dealerships over the course of the coming year. An official launch of the new brand is set for ConExpo 2023 in March.
The Develon DX89R-7 compact excavator gets more lifting power and horsepower than the DX85R-3 it replaces. Its release comes after the company launched multiple smaller mini excavators in the United States in 2022.
Develon touts the new excavator's lift-over-side capacity, fast cycle times and an increased integrated counterweight. Also, torque-limiting piston pumps respond to load demands and help deliver forces to the arm and bucket to meet work requirements.
“The new 9-metric-ton DX89R-7 excavator is a bridge between our smaller mini excavators and our crawler excavators,” says Thomas Lee, director of product management at Develon. “It gives our customers the flexibility of a mini excavator with more power and dig depth ... without moving up to a larger machine.”

Packed with many of its predecessor’s features, the DX89R-7 is equipped with a Develon rebranded engine and diagnostic tool.
