Kobelco Introduces Heavy-Duty Excavator

Kobelco Construction Machinery America, Carol Stream, Ill., has introduced the SK850LC Super ACERA heavy-duty excavator. The SK850LC expands Kobelco America’s full line of products into the 80- to 90-ton class, addressing customers’ needs for larger, more powerful machines.

The machine is designed for several applications, including demolition, aggregates and earth moving.

The SK850LC has four standard working modes. The H mode allows heavy digging and high productivity, while the S mode delivers standard digging and increased fuel savings, according to the manufacturer. The other two work modes include the B mode, which powers one-way flow attachments (breakers) and the A mode for attachments that require two-way flow.

The excavator can be configured four different ways for shipping and transport to meet varying local requirements.

The machine also features the same enhanced cab design for operator comfort and efficiency as all ACERA excavators. It features a seven-way adjustable suspension seat, cross-flow air ventilation and an orange backlit monitor with sunshade for easy daylight viewing.
