Ranging from the SK08SR-1E Micro Excavator measuring just 680mm wide when the tracks are in the retracted position, through to the recently released SK75SR-7 and SK85MSR-7 8-tonne class machines. With a host of upgrades from the previous model including faster cycle times and improved fuel consumption, the -7 range from Kobelco has been a resounding success with both operators and owners alike.

With other notable models, including the popular SK10SR-2E, featuring a 3 pump system and servo controls on the arms that delivers a smooth, powerful and comfortable operator experience. The 3-tonne range comprising of the SK28, SK30 and SK35SR-6E models that in addition to all the qualities Kobelco products are known for also include features like air conditioning as standard, keeping operators comfortable all year round.
