Develon’s big articulated dump truck rides on engineering advances – see specs now

PS Plant Specs Online has uploaded the specs for the Develon DA45 articulated dump truck.

Subscribers to our database and PS Lookup App, can access the full specs for this machine that its makers say now offers a larger payload capacity, advanced technology, and operator comfort. The DA45 focuses on productivity and reliability in the toughest conditions, they add.

The truck’s front-mounted turning ring, sloping rear frame, and free-swinging rear tandem bogie maintain consistent six-wheel ground contact, delivering stability and traction. 

A limited slip differential enhances torque distribution, ensuring the truck remains steady and responsive on uneven or challenging terrain.

Its hydro-gas, self-leveling front suspension provides good shock absorption, ensuring a smooth ride even when the truck is empty. 

This system’s self-leveling capabilities and adjustable pressure settings allow operators to fine-tune performance for specific tasks, reducing fatigue during long shifts. 

Despite its size, the DA45’s width of less than 3.6m simplifies transportation between job sites, minimising downtime and increasing operational efficiency.

Maintenance has been streamlined to maximise uptime and reduce operational complexity. 

Key service points are easily accessible, with ground-level access to fuel and DEF fill locations and a centralised maintenance panel for routine checks. 

The truck’s design incorporates a common oil system for wheel hubs, the tandem rear bogie, and the limited slip differential, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. 

Additionally, improved grease distribution reduces lubrication requirements. 

A fully automatic climate control system maintains a comfortable working environment regardless of weather conditions. 

The heated air-suspension seat enhances operator comfort during extended shifts, while ergonomic controls ensure intuitive operation. 

Low noise levels and excellent visibility, bolstered by advanced monitoring systems, promote focus and safety. 

The truck’s vehicle control unit features an advanced display that provides critical information, including speed, engine RPM, and alerts. 

Operators can also view multiple camera angles on the large monitor for enhanced situational awareness.

The DA45 integrates advanced technology, including a high-pressure common-rail fuel delivery system, cooled exhaust gas recirculation, a diesel oxidation catalyst, and selective catalyst reduction. 

These features not only ensure compliance with emissions regulations but also improve fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
