As summer approaches on the sun-soaked coast of Castelldefels near Barcelona, a familiar scene takes shape once again—wooden beach restaurants rising along the sand, only to vanish with the season’s end. These structures are not permanent, yet their construction requires solid planning, precision, and the right machinery. At the center of this year’s build was the Develon DX62R mini-excavator, quietly proving its value in a job where time, space, and efficiency matter more than ever.
In the marina of Port Ginesta, five seasonal beach restaurants have been successfully assembled. These all-wooden structures operate from Easter through October, after which they’re fully dismantled and stored until the next year. Their construction demands not just skill, but equipment that can work in confined, protected coastal areas without damaging the fragile surroundings. That’s where the Develon DX62R came in—and excelled.
This 6-tonne mini-excavator was instrumental throughout the project. It handled the full scope of tasks: leveling ground, moving timber materials such as floors, beams, and panel walls, and digging to install underground water tanks for the kitchen and bathrooms. Previously, limited access along the marina required forklifts, which lacked the flexibility and performance needed for this kind of operation. The DX62R replaced multiple machines, offering transport, excavation, and material handling—all in one compact body.
Its size was a key advantage. The excavator’s compact footprint allowed it to navigate tight areas without damaging pathways or coastal dune zones. Environmental sensitivity was essential, and the DX62R’s smooth operation helped meet all site requirements. Even in larger beach zones, where telehandlers were once standard, this mini-excavator proved more efficient and better suited for multi-task roles.
Beyond size, its performance stands out. Operators noted that despite not being the newest model in the lineup, the DX62R delivers output comparable to an 8-tonne machine. Its powerful engine, high load capacity, and user-friendly quick-hitch system made changing attachments easy—no need to exit the cab. This saved time and improved productivity on a tight schedule.
Every minute counted in this seasonal setup, and the DX62R met the challenge head-on. Its speed and agility helped bring the project to completion quickly and cleanly, allowing beachgoers to enjoy a fully operational restaurant by peak season.
