EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE

Kobelco General Manager – Sales &

Service, Doug McQuinn said: “We have

looked at every aspect of our current

heavy excavator models and assessed

what we can make stronger, more durable

and more fuel efficient.

“The first of both the SK200-10 and

SK210LC-10 are even more fuel efficient

than previous models. They consume up

to 16% less fuel in H-mode compared to

the previous series 8 equivalent.

“A key contributor to its exceptional

efficiency is the new Kobelco

Arm Interflow System; a hydraulic

regenerative system that enables the

boom’s weight to force hydraulic fluid to

the shovel arm. This reduces the need for

fluid to be forced from the pump. Less

engine and hydraulic workload means

less fuel,” Doug said.

This increased fuel efficiency is not at

the expense of power, even using less

fuel, the SK200-10 and SK210LC-10 still

New Generation 10 Kobelco excavators

Kobelco is releasing its new generation of heavy excavators, the new Generation 10

models with the first to arrive in Australia, the 20-tonne SK200-10 and SK210LC-10.

delivers up to

157kN of digging

force and 112kN of

arm crowding force,

he said.

“In this generation

we have revised

the layout of the

upper deck allowing

easy access

to the engine

compartment. We’ve also created a

new compact and easily replaceable

canister-type hydraulic oil return filter

and a new reinforced air-cleaner element.

All of these components were designed

with ease and speed of service in mind,

keeping the time off job-sites to a

minimum while maximising the value of

the machine back to your business.

“We know operators spend long hours

in the cab each day so health and safety

is paramount. The control leavers on

the Generation 10 are 38% lighter than

previous models which makes a huge

difference when spending up to eight or

10 hours in the cab.

“We’ve also relocated the fuel tank which

improves the view to the right hand side

of the machine,” Doug said.

The tenth generation of the SK250,

SK260-LC, SK330 and SK350-LC models

will be released throughout 2016.
