Kobelco SK225SR Medium Excavator

The Kobelco SK225SR is a beast of a machine when it comes to short-radius excavators – its in the 22-24 tonne class and it packs a punch when it comes to digging deep and moving earth, all while still being super agile – which makes it perfect for tight urban construction sites, roadworks, utility installations, and the odd earth moving project where space is tight but strength is essential. Its compact swing design lets you get right up close to buildings walls and other obstacles which is just as handy when its job time in the busy city.

The SK225SR is powered by a mighty diesel engine kicking out a decent 127 kW ( 170 hp ) – giving you plenty of juice to get the job done smoothly. The hydraulic system is silky smooth and provides loads of oomph – meaning you can dig , lift and load without breaking a sweat. The spec sheet reveals that the machine will chuck out a bucket breakout of around 132 KN and has a super responsive control system. With an operating weight coming in at roughly 23,300 kg you get a decent digging depth of about 6.6 meters and a reach of up to 9.7 meters . Its a real work horse – you can expect it to handle just about anything you throw at it.

The cab is designed with the operator in mind – its nice and spacious with comfy ergonomic controls and heaps of visibility. Plus – its surprisingly quiet thanks to Kobelco’s iNDr (Integrated Noise and Dust Reduction) system. No more having to shout to get heard above the din of the engine.

All up the Kobelco SK225SR is a diamond for anyone operating in tight spaces. Its tough – efficient – and gets the job done with ease. Perfect for contractors and hire fleets working in the city.
