When we set out to design our new hydraulic

excavators, we kept our eyes on the big picture.
Of course we wanted machines with greater digging capacity.
But they also had to be fuel-efficient and economical,
while imposing less of a burden on the local and
global environments. Applying our advanced technologies,
we developed KOBELCO's SK series, an entirely new kind of
excavator that beautifully balances all the demands of
today's construction industry. Lean and efficient with capacity to spare,
these sleek powerhouses bring a whole new style to the worksite
while setting new standards for environmental responsibility.

Notes:
1. Do not attempt to lift or hold any load that is greater than these lift capacities at their
specified lift point radius and heights. Weight of all accessories must be deducted from the
above lift capacities.
2. Lift capacities are based on machine standing on level, firm, and uniform ground. User must
make allowance for job conditions such as soft or uneven ground, out of level conditions,
side loads, sudden stopping of loads, hazardous conditions, experience of personnel, etc.
3. Arm top defined as lift point.
4. The above lifting capacities are in compliance with ISO 10567. They do not exceed
87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Lifting capacities marked with an
asterisk (*) are limited by hydraulic capacity rather than tipping load.
5. Operator should be fully acquainted with the Operator’s and Maintenance Instructions
before operating this machine. Rules for safe operation of equipment should be adhered to
at all times.
6. Lift capacities apply to only machine as originally manufactured and normally equipped by
