Model DX270WMH-7 Develon material handler utilizes a grapple or magnet attachment. Its reach is three feet longer than its predecessor, 31 fee 2 inches, and its loading height is 23 feet 4 inches. It is powered by a 171.2-horsepower engine. Operating weight is 61,950 pounds.

An elevated cab enables operators to work with full visibility of the site from the standard hydraulic cab riser. This feature allows an operator to safely enter the material handler’s cab at ground level then raise the cab hydraulically to the preferred height.

A virtual wall setting stops the machine’s boom and arm from hitting surrounding objects, helping the operator work confidently in tighter spaces and minimizing machine downtime.

The cab features a fully adjustable heated air-suspension seat, heat and air conditioning, and joystick steering in addition to the standard steering wheel. The 8-inch LCD monitor displays machine diagnostics and controls.

Wide front and rear outriggers create a base that improves stability, especially when operators are working with higher lifting capacities. The machine’s outriggers extend the footprint of the machine by creating a larger, wider area of contact with the ground.

A new collision prevention feature keeps the machine’s grapple attachment and cab from colliding during operation. An around view monitor (AVM) camera system provides up to 360 degrees of visibility of the equipment and its surroundings.

The machine also features an air inlet mesh to keep fresh air flowing to the engine and a reversible fan to keep the machine cooler and keep debris out for less maintenance.
