What is a road builder?
A Develon road builder combines the best of both worlds of a log loader and excavator. Built with a log loader mainframe, these machines are designed with the boom and arm of an excavator. Paired with an array of traditional excavator attachments, these machines are ready to tackle all your toughest jobs.
What is a road builder used for?
Built for forestry and logging applications, these machines are often the first machines on site, tasked with clearing paths for other forestry equipment. Get impressive power and durability to build crucial access roads needed to keep pushing your projects forward. Other common applications include timber harvesting, log loading, and mill work. In other cases, they can be utilized in crushing applications or construction demolitions.
