Equipment Overview

The Kobelco SK500LC is a 50.6-tonne excavator built for mass excavation and heavy production work, with an increased torque setting delivering around 11% more digging volume than the previous generation. A hydraulic regeneration system minimises energy loss during operation, and the machine’s drawbar pulling force and gradeability let it work confidently on rough or sloped terrain. Bucket digging force reaches around 244 kN under standard operation.

Power comes from a Hino diesel producing 300 kW at 1,900 rpm, meeting EU Stage V emissions standards. Two variable displacement piston pumps plus a fan pump and pilot pump deliver strong hydraulic performance, and a two-speed variable displacement piston travel motor gives the machine solid mobility despite its size. Bucket capacity is 1.9 m³, suited to high-volume material handling and continuous truck loading.
