SCOTPLANT Preview
First time for new Develon
Series 9 Excavators at ScotPlant
At ScotPlant 2026, there will be a very
impressive display of Develon equipment,
including the first showing of the new Series 9
range of Smart Crawler Excavators, on the
James Gordon Ltd (Gordons) stand, the Castle
Douglas-based Authorised Dealer for Develon
for the whole of Scotland and the county of
Cumbria in England.
ScotPlant showcases the widest range of construction
solutions and innovations in Scotland. Attended by thousands
of construction trade professionals and over 200 exhibitors
from major global brands to local firms, ScotPlant is the
essential construction equipment exhibition for the trade.
Taking place at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh from
24-25 April 2026, ScotPlant will see a wide range of Develon
equipment on the Gordons stand alongside the centrepiece
Series 9 models: the new 23 tonne DX230LC-9 and 26 tonne
DX260LC-9 Smart Crawler Excavators.
These products will be joined by a broad selection of mini-
excavators from 1-10 tonne including the DX10-7, DX19-7,
DX25-7, DX63-7 and DX85-7 models. Moving up in size, the
compact equipment will include the 10.7 tonne DX100W-7
wheeled excavator, the 15.6 tonne DX140LCR-7 crawler
excavator, the DX160HT-7K high track excavator for forestry
work and the DX300LC-7 31.5 tonne crawler excavator. The
display will also include the DD130-7 15.3 tonne dozer and
the DL320-7 wheel loader.
Develon’s Groundbreaking Series 9 Smart
Excavators
First revealed at last year’s Bauma 2025 Exhibition, Gordons
will be unveiling two new Series 9 models: the 23 tonne
DX230LC-9 and 26 tonne DX260LC-9. Like all Series 9 models,
the DX230LC-9 and DX260LC-9 set new industry standards in
Productivity, Safety, Operator Convenience and Sustainability.
The Series 9 range not only endorses Develon’s forward-
thinking vision but also underscores the company’s
unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in the
construction equipment sector.
