KOBELCO Construction Machinery USA has introduced the enhanced ED160BR-7 Blade Runner excavator model in North America. The next-generation ED160BR-7 is an innovative machine that is unique to KOBELCO and provides unmatched versatility. It is a combination of both a short radius excavator and a dozer, which enables customers to have two machines in one.
Unlike most excavators, this 105 horsepower, 37,000 pound model is equipped with more than just a backfill blade; a patented six-way large-capacity dozer blade with folding edges makes the ED160BR-7 an easy-to-transport machine unique to the market. The dozer blade boasts power, angle, tilt and lift capability, making the ED160BR-7 ideal for site preparation and slope grading jobs. Equipped with a new Tier IV Final engine that increases power output by ~10%, the ED160BR-7 maintains superior productivity and efficiency, even while working at high power levels, lifting heavy loads or traveling on steep grades.
