CS Retail Construções is a prestigious Portuguese construction company, dedicated to developing and executing high-quality construction projects, combining innovation and technical excellence with efficient management. Its aim is to provide solutions that exceed customer expectations, ensuring quality and efficiency, as well as contributing to the sustainable development of the communities in which it operates.
Large fleet of Develon machines
The company has a large fleet of Develon machines, including excavator models such as the DX27, DX50, DX63, DX85, DX140LCR, DX300, two DX190 units and most recently acquired the DD130 bulldozer.
This mid-sized dozer model offers exceptional construction power, making it ideal for jobs ranging from moving in tight spaces to executing operations on larger construction sites. Its versatility is perfect for pushing, landing and grading on construction sites, public works projects or road maintenance.
Trusted partnership with a single distributor and brand, Develon
“Our collaboration with Centrocar began 8 years ago and since then we have acquired new Develon (formerly Doosan) machines. We follow a consistent strategy, opting for a single brand that we trust, avoiding diversifying the machine fleet. We maintain great respect for the partnership with our suppliers, which allows us to minimise downtime,” says Joel Pereira, from the company management. “We don’t look for the cheapest supplier, but the one that offers us a more trustworthy relationship.”
“We started by purchasing wheeled machines, then moved on to excavators of various sizes and recently acquired the Develon DD130 crawler tractor. We recognise the quality and work capacity of this equipment, and although it is new in Europe, we have full confidence in Develon and Centrocar.”
Low consumption, light, fast, complete and compact
“We have already started some work with the Develon DD130 bulldozer, which stands out for its low consumption. It is a light machine and ideal for the type of services required, which gives an excellent final finish to the desired work. It has a good cost-benefit ratio, being fast and with a good work pace.”
After acquiring the Develon DD130 bulldozer, CS Retail Construções gained more autonomy. They now carry out between 100,000 and 150,000 m² of paving per year and this machine allows them to smooth surfaces efficiently and with centimetre precision.
Maximum visibility and safety for the operator
Compact, the DD130 bulldozer allows easy access to tight areas, ideal for working in confined spaces such as industrial basements. It features a narrow front compartment that increases visibility, along with a standard rear camera for added safety. An 8-inch colour screen displays images captured by the rear camera and high-illumination LED lights improve visibility.
“In terms of visibility, the operator has an excellent field of vision, allowing for more comfortable and higher quality work,” adds the company director.
Reduced downtime and high productivity
“Compared to other machines on the market, Develon machines stand out. In other companies we use different brands and many of my colleagues share the same opinion. Develon machines, even after 4,000 hours of work, continue to work with very little downtime.”
New Develon DD130 bulldozer: greater precision
The new Develon DD130 bulldozer offers a precise grading solution for construction projects, with advanced technologies ensuring greater accuracy in meeting specifications. Equipped with the 2D grading system (Dozer Blade Assistant), the operator can program the data and the machine automatically adjusts the blade for fast and accurate execution.
The DD130 also provides operator comfort, with full control of the machine via two smooth-moving electronic joysticks. The vibration-absorbing air-suspension cab and standard telematics system allow remote monitoring of machine status, location and productivity, allowing non-productive time to be reduced and contributing to more efficient management.
