KOBELCO USA Introduces Next-Gen Series Excavator

KOBELCO Construction Machinery USA has released the enhanced SK140SRLC-7 excavator model in North America. The next-generation SK140SRLC-7 sets the standard for mid-sized machines and offers full-size benefits with short rear-swing capabilities and exceptional features. The upgraded SK140SRLC-7 boasts a dynamic digging force of 24,800 lbs. to achieve leading-class work volume. A compact design and long-digging reach capabilities provide a broad working range and easy maneuverability, while a top-of-class digging depth of 19 feet 7 inches and swing speed of 11 rpm shorten cycle times by ~10%.

Equipped with a new Tier IV Final engine that increases power output by ~10%, the SK140SRLC-7 maintains superior productivity and efficiency, even while working at high-power levels or lifting heavy loads. The excavator’s strong drawbar pulling force produces powerful travel capabilities, enabling it to tackle steep and rough terrain with ease. And independent travel, an exclusive KOBELCO feature, allows the SK140SRLC-7 to move, lift and swing simultaneously without experiencing loss of power.
