Kobelco Construction Machinery USA has unveiled the enhanced SK75SR-7 and SK85CS-7 excavator models in North America. This next generation of Kobelco SR Series units set the standard for mid-size machines, offering full-size benefits with short rear-swing capabilities and exceptional features. Performance enhancements allow the excavators to deliver greater efficiency and productivity, as well as increased power and speed than preceding models.
With a dynamic digging force of 14,070 pounds and an impressive ~37% increase in digging speed, the SK75SR-7 and SK85CS-7 deliver continuous operation and reduce cycle times by ~15%. A new Tier IV Final engine increases power output by ~28% and enables both machines to maintain superior productivity and efficiency – even while working at high power levels, lifting heavy loads or traveling on steep grades.
