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.
