KOBELCO USA Rolls Out Next-Generation Mini Excavator

KOBELCO Construction Machinery USA rolls out the new SK55SRX-7 mini excavator model for North America. The next-generation SK55SRX-7 delivers increased performance and productivity from the previous model and follows the KOBELCO Performance X Design concept for enhanced design and operator comfort. This reinforces the KOBELCO continued commitment to design the smaller machines with the same quality, feel and comfort as the larger excavator models.

The new SK55SRX-7 with standard heavy counterweight weighs in at 11,817 pounds with canopy and 12,147 pounds with cab and has a 37 horsepower Yanmar Tier IV final diesel engine. Performance is key to mini excavator operators, particularly when project deadlines are tight. The all-new SK55SRX-7 benefits from improved hydraulic performance when compared to the previous 6E series. The new hydraulic system shortens the digging cycle time by up to 7%, and this high performance can be maintained without reducing speed, even with a heavy load or when traveling up a slope.
