Compact excavators introduced a brand new era of contractors into the heavy tools universe once they had been launched a few many years in the past. It’s not an exaggeration to say their distinctive efficiency attributes revolutionized building.
Kobelco has been a key participant on this revolution and has continued to refine and improve fashions to maintain efficiency curves on an upward pattern.
The corporate’s newest mannequin, the next-generation SK55SRX-7, follows the Kobelco Efficiency X Design idea for elevated productiveness, replicating the texture and operator consolation of bigger excavator fashions.
Compact footprint
The SK55SRX-7 is a brief radius machine with a compact tail swing and a small footprint for operation in restricted areas corresponding to city or residential jobsites. The usual arm is 5 ft 7 inches lengthy, however for jobs the place extra attain is required, you may spec a 6-foot 4-inch arm. Each include a thumb bracket pre-installed.
With a cover, the usual counterweight mannequin SK55SRX-7 weighs 11,817 kilos. With a cab it weighs 12,147 kilos.
It runs on a 37-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. Most digging top with the usual arm is nineteen ft, 6 inches.
At floor stage, the brand new excavator reaches to twenty ft. Dig depth goes to 12 ft 9 inches, and the working width measures 6 ft 5 inches.
Hydraulics = Efficiency
Nothing impacts efficiency on a compact excavator greater than the hydraulics. The SK55SRX-7 shortens the digging cycle time by as much as 7% in comparison with the earlier 6E sequence, because of improved hydraulic efficiency.
Redesigned journey motors improve the journey velocity by as much as 12% and hill-climbing speeds as much as 10%.
Different hydraulic system advantages embody smoother operation and improved leveling efficiency. The built-in circulate pump system harnesses additional output from the third pump, which in any other case powers the swing and dozer circuit. This output is directed to the arm and growth for added energy when digging, leading to a quick, easy elevating operation even below heavy masses.
Strengthened cab
When it comes to operator security, the high-strength cab/cover meets ROPS, TOPS and OPG Stage 1 (prime guard) requirements.
New LED work lights are mounted on the growth, prime entrance and left facet of the cab from the manufacturing facility. Mesh kind entrance and prime cab guards can be found as choices.
The wiper mount has additionally been moved to the higher proper of the cab assist, and the skylight opening has been enlarged to enhance operator visibility.
Extra particulars
- A two-way dozer blade with float comes normal. The distinctive blade design ensures the fabric falls ahead and never behind the blade when dozing, so one cross is normally all that’s wanted.
- The growth, arm and swing bracket all have massive cross-section segments for added attachment energy. The bolt-tightened pins firmly lock the growth to stop the growth prime from opening laterally.
- The bucket contains a cast-iron loafer hyperlink, and the field building dozer helps present added energy.
- A newly designed cabin improves ergonomics to allow the operator to maneuver the management levers horizontally with out twisting their wrist. The enlarged wrist rests hold the operator’s forearms in place, lowering fatigue and permitting for a steady operation.
- When in S-mode (power conservation), the SK55SRX-7 operates utilizing 26% much less gasoline in comparison with H-mode, and an auto-deceleration change is normal.
