Looking for the Optimal Solution
Herberg Gartenlandschaftsbau, founded in 2017, carries out all types of landscape construction tasks such as paving, civil engineering and tree work. After Christoph Herberg decided to purchase a new mobile excavator, he quickly created a list of requirements for the new machine. Since large loads (e.g. paving stones) are often moved during work, the new excavator should above all offer stability.
And since most customers are located within a radius of around 20 km from the company headquarters in Elsnig, a wheeled excavator was a good option. It can drive to the customer and thereby save a lot of time and transport costs. Also on the wish list: wide tyres and four-wheel steering to keep ground pressure low and ensure high traction and manoeuvrability.
Uncomplicated, Committed and Competent: the DEVELON dealers
During the research it quickly became clear that the selection of machines available is not as large as in other weight classes. Herberg then found the solution at Ziesmann Baugeräte, a specialist dealer with whom Herberg has had a partnership with since the company was founded. Herberg says: “We have been working together successfully with Ziesmann for a long time. The high-quality service, the geographical proximity to our company and the great commitment to us as a customer – these are important requirements that we place on our dealer. After testing the machine directly at the dealer for another 1.5 hours, the decision for the DX100W-7 was quickly made.”
The DX100W-7: Strong Basis, Tailor-made Special Equipment
In addition to agility in confined areas, the 10.7 tonne DX100W-7 offers an optimal compromise between compactness and manoeuvrability, rounded off by excellent performance and top-class comfort.
The integrated 1.35 t counterweight ensures the greatest possible stability for lifting work in combination with the adjustable boom and long dipper arm. With an output of 75 kW (102 hp) at 2000 rpm provided by a DEVELON D34-G2 Stage V engine, the DX100W-7 offers the highest engine power, hydraulic power and pulling power in its class. The high flow from the smooth-running and precise hydraulic system can be used to drive a wide variety of attachments.
As well as the extensive standard equipment, the DX100W-7 at Herberg is equipped with additional special equipment in order to best meet individual requirements. In addition to all-wheel steering and a significantly wider wheel and tyre combination, a tiltrotator, a gripping module, pallet fork and levelling bucket were also added to the machine.
Positive Balance after Intensive Use
After around six months in operation, Christoph Herberg draws an initial positive conclusion: “So far I am very satisfied with the excavator. No downtime, and all tasks assigned to it so far could be completed quickly, precisely and efficiently. Our drivers are completely satisfied with the DEVELON DX100W-7. The ease of operation and cab comfort are excellent, the fuel efficiency is very good and the performance is outstanding.”
