Compact Zero-Tail Mini Excavator for Tight NZ Worksites

The DEVELON DX27Z-7M is a powerful and highly manoeuvrable 2.7-tonne zero-tail swing mini excavator designed for contractors who need maximum performance in confined areas. Perfect for urban construction, residential landscaping, civil works, utility maintenance, and small site development across New Zealand, this compact machine delivers impressive digging force without compromising stability or reach.

The DX27Z-7M is powered by the efficient Develon DN1.7 engine, offering strong breakout force, smooth hydraulic control, and reduced fuel consumption. It meets Tier 4 Final / Stage V emission standards without the need for a DPF or urea, ensuring simpler maintenance and lower cost of ownership.

Operators benefit from DEVELON’s upgraded comfort and visibility features, including optional ROPS cabin or TOPS canopy, ergonomic joystick controls with thumb-wheel functionality, enhanced storage, USB and 12V charging, LED work lighting, and a full-glass door for improved sightlines. Optional features such as a digital gauge panel, rear-view camera, and air conditioning (cabin version) help create a safer, more comfortable experience during long NZ workdays.

With excellent boom swing angles, a compact zero-tail profile, and robust cylinder guards, the DX27Z-7M excels in narrow environments and challenging terrain.

Supported by AB Equipment’s nationwide service, parts, sales, and rental network, it’s a reliable and versatile choice for operators looking for a compact excavator built for New Zealand conditions.
