Kobelco is offering a sophisticated short tail swing excavator
2200 Kobelco is exhibiting a 26tonne short radius hydraulic excavator along with its sister company Kobelco Cranes at 688 Bauma. The company is returning on its own to markets in Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Russia following the termination of its previous arrangement with 1595 CNH. The SK260SRNLC-3 excavator features a two piece boom and is said to be both compact and stable, with power from a Hino diesel featuring DPF emissions technology. The short tail swing machine also offers improved fuel consumption and reduced operating noise over previous generation machines. Kobelco’s innovative iNDr (integrated noise and dust reduction) system is said to reduce noise 5dB in the SK260SRNLC-3 to 95dB, amongst the lowest in its class. In addition, new hydraulic circuitry, a proprietary technology, reduces pressure loss, resulting in considerable improvement in fuel consumption. In comparison to a conventional SK235SRNLC-2, the new excavator has improved its digging productivity (m3/litre) by 6% in heavy digging (H) mode and by 9% in the newly set ECO mode, versus the previous model’s fuel saving (S) mode. Kobelco has now started recruiting dealers from all over the world and is actively continuing its efforts to recruit new dealers.
The ZX290LC-5 is one of eight new Zaxis-5 model excavators being showcased by Hitachi at bauma. Like its fellow new machines, the ZX290LC-5 is said to have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of European customers and scores highly in key areas including sustainability, versatility, comfort and safety, and easy maintenance. A powerful new-generation 140kW Isuzu Stage IIIB-compliant engine said to deliver higher productivity with greater fuel efficiency, is another attractive feature of the Z
Doosan unveiled a new Stage IIIB-compliant DX140W-3 wheeled excavator on the opening day of INTERMAT.
The 14-16tonne machine’s 101kW DL06K 6-cylinder common rail diesel engine is fitted with exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel particulate filter to meet the emissions regulations. Productivity has been increased by an average of 5% while a new Lifting mode boosts lifting capacity by 15%. Hydraulic flow is 4% higher, increasing swing torque by an equal amount and bucket/arm forces by 7%.

Weighing in at 42-43.3tonnes depending on specification, the new Doosan DX420LC-3 excavator is Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim compliant and offers significant benefits over the model it replaces. Improvements include an increase in power, boosting overall productivity and the machine can be used in heavy-duty applications such as earthmoving, demolition and quarrying.
