Develon excavators are widely deployed across San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, particularly in the city's oil and gas sector. 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 San Fernando buyers, the most common Develon configurations are the Develon DX140LC-7 and DX225LC-7 — both well-matched to the city's typical project profile. Petrochemicals, refining, and the Pointe-à-Pierre refinery complex. Southern Trinidad on the Gulf of Paria. Our pre-export inspection for Develon units destined for San Fernando covers the same 47 checkpoints as every machine we ship, plus a oil and gas-specific configuration review — undercarriage track shoe selection, bucket capacity matching, and attachment-coupler spec. Post-delivery, each machine is enrolled in our service tracking — scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, and 72-hour breakdown response are standard. The full Develon range is available, not just the most popular models — if you have a specific model number in mind, contact us and we'll confirm availability, lead time, and configuration options for your San Fernando project.

Why Develon fits San Fernando
Develon holds a strong position in Trinidad and Tobago's heavy-equipment market thanks to its combination of top-five global excavator brand, strong used-equipment market liquidity (legacy doosan), and well-established regional dealer presence. Develon delivers Doosan-engineered reliability with the new HD Hyundai backing. For Trinidad and Tobago buyers, the value proposition centres on operating-cost predictability, parts availability through our regional warehouse network, and resale-value retention. Limited mining — primarily aggregate quarrying for construction and limited asphalt extraction at the world-famous Pitch Lake. 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. We supply Develon units across Trinidad and Tobago's full range of duty cycles — from light landscaping work in Port of Spain through to 24/7 mining operations at remote interior sites. Each unit is configured to the buyer's specific application profile before export, which means the machine arrives ready for work rather than requiring days of pre-deployment setup. Buyers also benefit from our regional after-sales infrastructure: scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning at our warehouse, and 72-hour breakdown response for major mechanical events.

After-sales
Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Our after-sales network covers preventive-maintenance scheduling, parts replenishment, operator training, and warranty administration for all units we supply. 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 Trinidad and Tobago-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
We work with regional financiers to structure 24- to 60-month payment plans, with options for operator-included rental conversion at term end. For Trinidad and Tobago 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.
