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.
Kobelco is now introducing its novel SK55SRX midi excavator to Europe, which is equipped with the innovative integrated noise and dust reduction (iNDr) technology. This proven method of dust filtration is combined with efficient engine cooling and reduces working noise output, suiting the machine to urban operations.
Following its summer 2013 launch, Bobcat’s Conexpo debut-making E63 Compact Tail Swing excavator is said to have better joystick controls, lift capacity, arm and bucket forces, and drive performance than previous models.
Replacing the E60, the E63 is the second-largest machine in the company’s compact excavator family. The 6.3tonne excavator features a number of operator conveniences including a new blade float, multi-function joysticks, colour instrumentation panel and an auto-shift drive system.

Caterpillar has updated its hybrid crawler excavator, with the launch of the 336F H, incorporating Tier 4 Final power. The company claims that fuel savings of up to 30% are possible against the standard 336F excavator, despite the C9.3 engine achieving lower fuel consumption than the previous model. The engine has an automatic speed control system that lowers rpm during low load conditions. It also comes with an ECO mode that allows operators to tailor machine performance to the application.
