Kobelco SK140SRLC Small Excavator

The Kobelco SK140SRLC is a super-compact short-radius excavator that weighs in at 14 tonnes. It’s a real beast in tight spaces, capable of delivering the sort of digging power you’d expect from a mid-sized machine, but with a reduced tail swing that lets you swing it around roadsides, laneways, and construction zones without ever worrying about scratching the paintwork of a nearby building.

It’s powered by a fuel-sipping diesel engine that’s got a lot of grunt to it, yet somehow still manages to keep the guzzling to a minimum. It’s got an advanced hydraulic system that’s super-responsive, so you’ve got complete control as you’re digging trenches, laying pipes, breaking up the ground with a bulk dig, or just making sure everything’s nice and tidy with a detailed finish. And just like you’d expect, the machine’s stability and lift capacity is right up there with those of a full-sized excavator.

Inside the cab, you’ll find excellent visibility, an ergonomic joystick layout, climate control so you can get the temperature just right, and nice low vibration levels. Kobelco have also tuned the engine so it doesn’t make a racket, making the SK140SRLC a top pick for people working in urban environments, or anyone who’s got a long day ahead of them.

Maintenance is a breeze thanks to grouped service points and components that are built to last, so you can count on spending less time fixing things and more time getting the job done. With its versatility, power, and agility, the SK140SRLC is the perfect excavator for contractors who know they need a machine that can really handle its weight in a tight operating space.
