(SUWANEE, Ga. – May 2025) DEVELON was proud to participate in the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Celebration of Construction on the National Mall, May 14 – 16, 2025.

The AEM Celebration of Construction took place between the Capitol Building and Washington Monument on the National Mall and brought together industry leaders, policymakers and the public to highlight the critical role of construction equipment in building and maintaining the nation’s infrastructure. DEVELON featured its DX225LC-7X crawler excavator equipped with an Engcon tiltrotator, coupler and bucket to demonstrate its latest advancements in excavator technologies and reinforce its commitment to infrastructure in North America.

“Returning to the AEM Celebration of Construction allowed us to engage directly with the industry and showcase how our latest excavator technologies are driving the future of construction,” said Morgan Stallings, senior director, product management and marketing at DEVELON. “This special event provided a unique platform for industry collaboration, allowing us to share knowledge, showcase innovations and work together to build a stronger future for the North American construction sector.”

The DEVELON DX225LC-7X crawler excavator made its debut at CONEXPO in 2023 and features an advanced electrohydraulic control system that enables precise 2D grading through sophisticated machine guidance. This system provides operators with supplementary assistance for precision tasks, including grade assist mode, ground slope setting, swing assist, lift assist and a weighing system. These machine features significantly improve operator productivity and efficiency.

The tiltrotator transforms the DX225LC-7X crawler excavator into a multi-purpose tool carrier, enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic attachments like buckets, grapples and breakers. With the ability to rotate and tilt attachments, operators can achieve precise positioning for tasks like grading, trenching, material handling and demolition.

DEVELON participated in the first AEM Celebration of Construction on the National Mall in 2023. On display was a DEVELON -7 Series wheel loader featuring the Transparent Bucket technology. It was such a positive experience that DEVELON signed up to participate again in 2025.
