New DX140LC-7 Excavators Expand Kingsheath Construction Fleet

Kellands Ltd, the Authorised Dealer for DEVELON, is providing 10 new DX140LC-7 crawler excavators to the company to build on its success.

Kingsheath Construction has fast become one of the leading groundworks, civil engineering and reinforced concrete frame contractors in the construction sector in South East England. The company has 20 staff based at its impressive headquarters building in Bredhurst and around 200 workers on the 14 sites where projects are currently underway.

The company works for all the major developers in the industry. Most of the work is in the housebuilding groundworks and civil engineering sectors, primarily for blue chip housing developers including among others, Bellway Homes, Abbey Developments, Barratt David Wilson, Countryside, Redrow Homes, Crest Nicholson and Persimmon Homes.

High Build Quality Stands Out in Competitive Testing
“Kellands provided us with a machine for a month to try out across a number of our sites. In this way, we received feedback from around 10 of our top drivers. The DX140LC-7 machines were chosen ahead of excavators we tested from three other leading manufacturers,” Nick Earl, Plant Manager at Kingsheath Construction, describes the process behind the purchase of the new excavators.




One area that all the drivers at Kingsheath Construction commented on was the high build quality of the DX140LC-7. For example, the state-of-the-art cab excels in terms of spaciousness and ergonomics, taking operator comfort and ease of operation to new levels. As well as a new high quality seat, the enhanced cab offers more features as standard than other machines on the market, ensuring super controllability and high precision in all applications.

Kingsheath Construction can provide a wide range of services including groundworks, demolition, remediation, earthworks and enabling works, RC frame and highway works. Groundworks is a core function of the business, whether continuing on from demolition or enabling works to undertaking a full new build project. The company can offer the full groundworks package with experience in all types of foundations and piling methods, continuing up to substructures and oversites, drainage, services and external finishes.

Part of New DX-7 Range from DEVELON
Powered by the D34 4-cylinder Stage V diesel engine providing 86 kW (115 HP) of power at 2000 RPM, the 14.6 tonne DX140LC-7 is one of 11 models in DEVELON’s new generation DX-7 range of medium-sized Stage V compliant excavators from 14 to 25 tonne.




Like the other DX-7 models, the DX140LC-7 provides significantly higher performance in every area than the previous generation Stage IV machine, offering enhanced comfort, increased tool carrier capability and novel operator assist technology.

Other new features boost fuel efficiency, uptime and return on investment, with a focus on increased power, robustness and agility. Maintenance of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has also been greatly reduced, with no maintenance required until the machine has operated for 8000 hours.
