Develon (formerly Doosan Infracore) is one of the world's top-five excavator manufacturers, recently rebranded under the HD Hyundai Infracore group. The DX-series spans 1.7-ton minis through 80+ ton mining shovels with a strong reputation in mid-tier markets. For buyers across the Caribbean and Africa, Develon machines combine top-five global excavator brand with strong used-equipment market liquidity (legacy doosan) — characteristics that matter most when operating in the high-ambient, high-utilisation conditions of tropical construction and mining sectors. Suriname Excavators supplies the full Develon excavator range to 24 countries, with every machine pre-inspected, hydraulic-tested, and configured to the buyer's specified application before export.

Develon Excavators — Complete Range
Develon delivers Doosan-engineered reliability with the new HD Hyundai backing.
Why Develon works in our markets
Develon holds a strong position in the Caribbean and African excavator market thanks to its combination of top-five global excavator brand, strong used-equipment market liquidity (legacy doosan), and well-established regional dealer infrastructure. Develon delivers Doosan-engineered reliability with the new HD Hyundai backing. For our buyers — who range from private contractors to multinational mining houses to government infrastructure agencies — the Develon value proposition centres on three things: operating-cost predictability, parts availability through our regional warehouse network, and resale-value retention. In a market where machine downtime can cost a contractor tens of thousands of US dollars per day, Develon's reputation for cummins/scania engine pairings on larger models matters far more than the upfront equipment price.
- +Top-five global excavator brand
- +Strong used-equipment market liquidity (legacy Doosan)
- +Cummins/Scania engine pairings on larger models
- +Aggressive HD Hyundai Capital financing
- •Develon units typically command a higher upfront price than budget alternatives — total cost of ownership over 5+ years usually closes the gap.
- •Parts lead times for non-stock items can extend to 3-6 weeks through the dealer network.
- •Operator training is recommended — Develon machines benefit from manufacturer-certified operators for maximum productivity.
- •Resale market favours low-hours units — high-hours machines see steeper depreciation.

After-sales support
Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Post-delivery, each machine is enrolled in our service tracking — scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, and 72-hour breakdown response are standard. Our regional warehouse in Paramaribo holds fast-moving parts inventory for every major brand we supply — bushings, pins, hydraulic seals, fuel and oil filters, undercarriage components, and common consumables. For Suriname-specific needs, we maintain pre-positioned parts at our regional logistics hubs, which means typical part lead times measure in days rather than weeks. Field-service callouts are available across the country for major mechanical events. Our technicians are trained on all twelve brands we supply, with manufacturer-certified service authority for several. Operator training packages are included with every major sale — typically a one-week on-site programme covering safe operation, basic maintenance, daily walk-around inspection, and productivity techniques. We also offer extended warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer's standard term, structured monthly or annually depending on duty cycle.
Financing options
Buyers requiring financing can submit project documents alongside the quote request — we typically return indicative terms within five business days. For Suriname buyers specifically, we structure financing in USD or local currency depending on the buyer's preference and the project's cash-flow profile. Manufacturer-backed credit lines (SANY Capital, Hyundai Capital, XCMG Finance, JCB Finance) typically offer 12-60 month terms with first-payment-defer options for project-cycle buyers. Regional bank financing through partner institutions in Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic supports buyers wanting local-currency exposure. Lease-to-own structures convert a 12-24 month rental into an ownership transfer at term end, useful for contractors testing a new brand or wanting flexibility. We typically return indicative financing terms within five business days of receiving project documentation (typically: contract, project schedule, three years of audited accounts, and a deposit commitment). Final terms are subject to financier credit approval.
