The DX490LC-7 crawler excavator, available in standard arm or long arm configurations, delivers the powerful digging forces required for today’s work, plus it offers improved lifting capabilities and fast cycle times to help you move more materials in less time. Need to break into tougher materials? The one-touch power boost button momentarily increases hydraulic power when needed.
Dig into high-impact materials with confidence thanks to the reinforced arm and boom, and heavy-duty wear plates that bolt on at the end of the machine for maximum durability.
The removable counterweight can be hydraulically lowered to its own trailer for easy transport to the jobsite.
Save Fuel Without Sacrificing Productivity
The DX490LC-7 features a DEVELON diesel engine that is optimized to provide more power output with reduced fuel consumption. For additional fuel savings, an auto idle feature idles the excavator’s engine automatically when machine functions are not used for a few seconds. The auto shutdown feature also saves fuel while helping to lower warranty hours. Smart Power Control (SPC) maximizes machine efficiency without sacrificing productivity. Four selectable power modes allow you to manage the balance of fuel consumption and machine power based on working conditions. Choose from Power+, Power, Standard and Economy modes.
Convenient Machine Serviceability
DEVELON Fleet Management is standard on the DX490LC-7. You can remotely monitor the machine’s location, health and productivity. The DX490LC-7 offers ground-level access to all filters and convenient access to regular inspection points. Access panels open from the top, bottom and sides of the machine.
