The Kobelco SK85MSR is an 8.5 – 9 tonne short-radius excavator, built for tackling tough urban jobs. It’s been engineered to outperform in tight spaces where others would struggle, and its clever design lets it get close up to walls & buildings without ever losing its footing.
Power comes from a particularly gutsy Yanmar 4TNV98CT turbocharged diesel engine, pumping out a handy 72 hp. Plus, with its high torque and great fuel efficiency, you get to save on running costs without sacrificing on performance – and it’s all compliant with the latest emissions regulations.
You get all this in a machine that weighs in at around 8,500 kg. It’s got a maximum digging depth of about 4.4 metres and can reach up to 7.5 metres, making it an unexpectedly great choice if you need to get to some pretty awkward spots.
The cab is also pretty cool – it’s got loads of room to move around, super ergonomic controls that’ll have you digging like a pro in no time, a big screen for monitoring what’s going on, & Kobelco’s neat iNDr system to keep things quiet & clean. Plus the easy access panels & service points on the outside make it a doddle to do any maintenance.
The Kobelco SK85MSR is basically a really impressive all-rounder – it’s tough, efficient, & easy to get around in, so it’s perfect for contractors & hire fleets working in tricky spots all over town.
