Kobelco’s new Generation 10 series SK210LC-10 excavator

2200 Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe’s (KCME) all-new Japanese-built Generation 10 series specialist excavators have arrived in Europe and will be on show at INTERMAT.

Generation 10, the latest range of earthmoving and construction excavators, is available from the “growing European Kobelco dealer network,” and replaces the successful Generation 9. It is the first Kobelco model to comply with Stage 4 of the exhaust emissions regulations.

For Generation 10 (20-35tonnes), Kobelco says it has gone further to reduce operational costs with even greater fuel saving through regenerative technology, while pointing out that, for example, the Generation 10 SK210LC-10 excavator with Stage 4 engine configuration delivers greater performance and efficiency in its working environment when compared to the previous Generation 9 equivalent.

Also further improved on the new equipment are serviceability, high durability working performance and the safety cabs, which have been revised to include control levers with a lighter-feel, a new lock lever and control lever box.

Generation 10 machines SK210LC-10 will launch in the summer of 2015.

“The addition of specific model roles within key industries fulfils the needs of our growing customer base,” says Peter Stuijt, KCME product marketing manager, commenting on the introduction of Generation 10 machines.

  • C-series CX470 excavator takes centre stage on Case’s INTERMAT stand
    January 6, 2017
    A 6% increase in lift capacity, greater digging efficiency, reduced emissions and up to 5% lower fuel consumption are the benefits of Case’s new CX470C excavator. The 47 to 50tonne machine has a 9.8litre Stage IIIB engine delivering 270kW at 2,000rpm which contributes to a 5% increase in fuel efficiency and 5% faster cycle times. Some of the savings come from a Boom Economy Control, which automatically reduces engine revs and hydraulic power to the boom when speed and power are not a priority.
