Kobelco excavators, with cutting-edge CRDi technology and sturdy design, promise increased productivity, dependability, and cost savings in a variety of urban and rural applications.

In 2007, Kobelco India took the industry by storm by introducing a 4-cylinder Japanese HINO engine with CRDi technology when the majority of 20-ton excavators were 6-cylinder. Even after 15 years, we are one of the leaders in fuel efficiency at 20 tons. This established a new standard and cemented Kobelco’s reputation as a Japanese-made, fuel-efficient excavator. Continuing the same legacy, our Made-in-India 14-ton excavators were launched with Mitsubishi engines in 2015 and took customer experience to the next level.

In the year 2023, we have taken yet another step in our 14-ton segment by introducing the SK140LC-10E and SK145XDLC-10E in a new avatar with a world-renowned ISUZU Japanese Engine that is compact, lightweight, has a high power-to-weight ratio, and is globally well accepted.

It is a 4-cylinder, inline, water-cooled, dual overhead camshaft with 16 valves, turbocharged engine with Common Rail Direct Injection technology. Today, not many excavators in India come with CRDi technology. This cutting-edge technology will give Kobelco customers the advantage of better fuel efficiency and increased productivity. ISUZU Japanese engines are widely used and well-recognized by customers across the globe. It is sturdy, durable, fuel-saving, and convenient for maintenance.

Our 14-ton excavators are already popular because of their stupendous fuel efficiency and high reliability, and now with the ISUZU engine, we can assure our customers of further savings through fuel advantage and low maintenance. These models incorporate Kobelco’s cutting-edge technology and have been specially developed to suit tough Indian applications and conditions. These excavators are configured and manufactured keeping India-centric work conditions and customer needs in mind. Both models are true value-for-money products, promising sustained returns on investment, in particular for the road, infrastructure, and utility segments. A genuinely versatile and stable machine, it is suited for a variety of urban and rural applications.

Kobelco uses a unique hydraulic system controlled by mechatronics to deliver both high-powered output and lower fuel consumption. In line with Kobelco’s concept of robust construction machinery that will work long and hard on any site on the planet, the rugged body design and comprehensive reinforcements make the machine more robust. As the 10th generation model of Kobelco’s SK series, the SK140-10E and SK145XDLC-10E meet the needs of civil construction as well as the toughest job sites with a performance that simply astounds. A few applications can be named, like salt handling, rock breaking, brick kilns, metro underground excavation, rock quarrying, trenching, rock cutting, tunnelling work, scrap handling, and many others.

Although our cabin is safer for operators, which means less fatigue and results in more productivity, it now comes with LED lights as a standard feature. We have a super airtight cab that keeps dust out. The air conditioning system is equipped as standard for both SK140-10E and SK145XDLC-10E.

Our excavators have features like a powerful travel system for easy transit over loose rocks and a highly reliable filtration system to ensure higher machine performance. The maintenance part—maintenance work, daily checks, etc.—can be done from ground level. Both models come with Geoscan, app-enabled aftermarket assistance, globally communicative platforms, etc. The self-diagnostic features in our telematics (Geoscan) alert the support team via error codes so that they can address them even remotely. Geoscan allows you to use the Internet to manage information from your office or home for machines operating in all areas. The generated data from each machine is then correctly handled and analyzed into a sizable collection. Working on the insights, summaries, and trends, the owners of the machines can improve the efficiency, usability, and maintenance of their equipment.

After-sales support is the most important pillar of the CE industry. We believe the OEM providing the best service support gets an edge over its competitors. Kobelco, as a brand, is always a step ahead in terms of service and spare parts support. Apart from our products and other solutions, we are backed by a countrywide dealer network, ensuring robust tech support, ready availability of parts, and after-sales service anytime, anywhere in the country.

There is a noticeable shift in the procurement of equipment, especially in the road and infrastructural segments. Customers are now looking at comprehensive packages to improve overall efficiency in their day-to-day operations and generate additional value for their businesses. Kobelco offers far-reaching solutions to complement sustainable road construction and infrastructure projects. Change is constant, and this is what drives each of us. Kobelco follows the same philosophy. We keep on upgrading our products as per the growing demand of the market and our customer requirements.
