New Kobelco excavator
Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe B.V. (KCME) is pleased to announce the arrival of the SK130LC-11 – a Japanese manufactured excavator that extends Kobelco quality, economy and reliability within the 12-14 tonne operating segment. The Kobelco SK130LC-11 sets standards high as a direct result of precise manufacturing and high-tech design, with customer feedback also being a key element in its design process. The result is an excavator that delivers productive mechanical power, operating speed, refined operator comfort and fuel efficiency.
Commenting on the introduction of the new SK130LC-11, Product Manager, Peter Stuijt, said: “The introduction of the SK130LC-11 to the UK and mainland European markets is a very important decision by Kobelco. The 12-14 tonne operating class is populated with smaller contractors and, certainly in the UK, rental fleet companies who specialise in lighter machines that are productive through being versatile, powerful and economic from low running costs and extremely competitive initial purchase price – the new SK130LC-11 more than fulfils these requirements. “The fact it is emissions Stage V compliant extends the already impressive specification of this excavator. As do the latest operating features and increased operator comfort, all of which raise production efficiency by some degrees. All of the aforementioned are key purchasing points of potential customers. Add to the mix Kobelco’s famed reliability and durability, then it is clear the SK130LC-11 is the obvious choice in this operating class.”
