Kobelco Provides Excellent Dig Depths with New Compact Excavators
What could a new Kobelco compact excavator do to boost your productivity this summer? A lot, if your projects require zero tail swing radius, long reach, and/or deep digging. The Kobelco SK 17 and SK25 are designed specifically for rugged use and maximum maneuverability in constricted areas.
Both machines come with roomy cabs, excellent visibility, large travel pedals, and boom light. A travel alert boosts safety by letting anyone nearby that the machine is on the move. And there’s a pattern changer with a blade cutting edge, so operators can customize operation to their preference.
Tier 4 Final engines ensure you’ll have plenty of power and hydraulic performance to handle full size jobs, with budget-friendly operating efficiency. Both can dig, swing, and load at full boom swing in close conditions. Zero tail swing radius ensures the work can be performed safely as well as efficiently.
Kobelco SK17
This smallest model in Kobelco’s extensive crawler excavator line isn’t new, but it has been improved to provide even better power and performance. Its vital statistics:
- 3,836 lbs

- 12’2” digging reach

The self-cleaning hydraulic side frames can extend up to 50 inches or retract to just 37 inches, so the machine offers reliable stability as well as ability to tuck into tight spaces. The dozer blade is designed for quick coupling and detachment, and its width can be easily changed and secured.
Kobelco SK25
This model is the newest addition to the Kobelco fleet. It is both powerful and versatile, designed for heavy-duty digging and lifting as well as loading, placing, and dozing in many types of applications. Its vital statistics:
