The Kobelco SK55SRX: a compact excavator that really holds its own in tight urban spaces. Weighing in at a solid 5-6 tonnes, this short-radius excavator ‘packs a punch’ in even the most restricted job sites. The genius of the SK55SRX lies in its short tail swing – it’s that bit smaller than most ‘full-size’ machines making it perfect for the likes of residential construction, utility work and landscaping projects in hard to reach locations without having to give up on power or stability.
Its mighty Yanmar 4TNV88C 4 cylinder diesel engine pumps out a sturdy 29 kW (39hp) of power – plenty of grunt for the sorts of digging jobs you’d need to tackle with a machine like this. But what really sets the SK55SRX apart is Kobelco’s advanced hydraulic system – you get a lovely even operation and really precise movement – perfect for messy jobs like trenching, lifting & grading.
The SK55SRX is also ‘smart’, boasting both a high performance mode and energy-saving mode, so you can pick and choose exactly how much power you need. And don’t worry about size – this little beauty still manages to deliver a bit of oomph for its weight class – coming in at a very manageable 5,200 -5,500 kg.
The engineers at Kobelco have also thought about keeping things spick and span with their iNDr (Integrated Noise and Dust Reduction) system – this helps keep the engine bay clean and tidy, making servicing a breeze.
The cab on the SK55SRX is meant to be a happy place to be, with plenty of room to stretch out, a comfy adjustable seat, very low vibration levels and super-wide visibility. With all the above features wrapped up in a neat package, the Kobelco SK55SRX is a great bet for contractors and hire fleets who need a hire excavator that can handle all sorts of tight & precision tasks.
