This new model fills a strategic size-class gap – 40 to 45 metric tons.
The log loader offers the power and reach of a larger machine without the associated transport challenges and costs. The DX340LL-7 provides forestry professionals with the reach, lift capacity and stability of a larger log loader while avoiding the high transport costs and logistical hurdles of moving to the next size class. Key performance features include the following:
- DPF-free engine: The fuel-efficient Develon diesel engine meets Tier 4 emission standards without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), reducing maintenance costs and increasing uptime.
- Superior torque and traction: The new model delivers high swing torque and tractive force, which are essential for uphill logging work and heavy-load manoeuvring.
- Hydraulic power boost: Operators can engage a one-touch power boost on the right-hand joystick for an instant hydraulic surge when handling maximum loads.
Workplace safety and operator confidence are at the forefront of the DX340LL-7 log loader. The new machine comes equipped with the following features:
- Cab riser: The standard 4-foot cab riser and narrow cab pillars provide an exceptional view of the worksite. An optional rear-entry cab door will be available from the factory.
- Forestry-certified cab: Side- and rear-entry forestry cabs are available, certified to Oregon OSHA and British Columbia WCB standards.
- Advanced camera system: Side and rearview cameras are standard.
- Standard safety features: A travel alarm, LED work lights and a standard straight travel pedal (side entry cab) for easier manoeuvring are included.
To help reduce operator fatigue during long shifts, the DX340LL-7 log loader features a premium workstation, including a heated and cooled air-suspension seat (rear cab entry only) that can be easily adjusted to match operator preferences. An 8-inch LCD multifunction monitor allows operators to view machine diagnostics and camera feeds simultaneously.
Additionally, the DX340LL-7 comes standard with the MY DEVELON fleet management system. This telematics system enables owners to remotely monitor machine health, location and productivity via a mobile app or website. Source
