Power, precision and performance redefined

Kobelco’s new range of Series 7 mini excavators have continued to impress the industry with their increased engine performance, improved operability, an updated cabin interior and easier maintenance.

Power, precision and performance redefined

Despite their small size, mini excavators play an important role on any jobsite. Their small working footprint enables better access to restricted spaces such as residential gardens and inside buildings, while they can also provide key support to larger construction projects.

With this in mind, Kobelco continually reviews and improves its range of mini excavators in order to meet the increasing demands of their operators.

The Kobelco SK28SR-7, SK30SR-7 and SK35SR-7 replaced their dash 6 predecessors, delivering superior performance thanks to their increased engine output (from 18 to 19kW).

Their larger bucket cylinders (from 65 to 70mm) also result in a 16 per cent increase in bucket digging force from 27.8 to 32.2kN (SK35SR-7).

In addition, the boom cylinder bore has been increased from 80 to 85mm for improved lifting capacity (SK35SR-7), while increased travel performance and an upgraded hydraulic system deliver faster combined operation. Fuel consumption has also been reduced by 25 per cent using the new ECO-mode.
