Kobelco's new 20-ton SK-Series excavator, the SK210LC-11, offers more standard features, an improved cabin, increased performance and easier maintenance.

The machine is powered by a 160-horsepower, Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engine. Kobelco says the new engine delivers 18% more torque than the previous model.

The SK210LC-11 delivers 32,190 pounds of bucket digging force, 52,740 pound-feet of swing torque and 51,300 pounds of drawbar pulling force. The machine’s 50,000-pound operating weight increases stability while lifting heavy loads, the company says.

To maintain constant power, the excavator features an independent travel function that dedicates one hydraulic pump to travel and one to the attachment on a continuous basis.

The SK210LC-11 has three work modes – Eco, S and H – for balancing between high performance, economy and low fuel consumption. And when you need even more muscle, the heavy-lift and power-boost (with unlimited time use) features can be activated.

Kobelco says it has improved the construction of the SK210LC-11 with thicker side panels and a larger bucket cylinder pin for enhanced durability and performance.
