2200 Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe has showcased its new SK400DLC-9 building demolition machine.

The company says it will do test marketing during 2016 to further develop the model for competitive marketing and plans to release it for sale in Europe in 2017.

The new demolition machine is said to offer safe and speedy disassembly and reassembly (NEXT system) due to its boom connection method. The attachment piping is also side-mounted and accessible from the ground for easy maintenance and longevity.

“The NEXT system also makes transportation easy because of the reduced height of the ultra-long attachments, when collapsed, and the separate boom. Transportation is further enhanced due to the hydraulic adjustable undercarriage and detachable counterweight,” says Kobelco.
