Crawler Excavator KOBELCO SK135SR – 2004

The KOBELCO SK135SR (2004) is a mid-sized crawler excavator belonging to Kobelco's early Short Radius (SR) series. The SR series is notable for its short tail swing design, particularly useful for construction in confined spaces. Although the SK135SR (2004) is older, it can still meet certain work demands, especially in urban environments and residential areas.

Key Highlights (compared to machines of the same era):

• Short Tail Swing (SR): Agile maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for urban and residential construction.
• Stable Performance: Kobelco's diesel engine and hydraulic system provide adequate working performance for basic digging tasks of a mid-sized machine.
• Reliability (to a certain extent): The Kobelco brand is known for its durability, but the actual condition of a 2004 model needs careful inspection.
• Familiar Operation: Simple electro-mechanical control system, easy to get used to for operators with experience with older excavators.
• Basic Maintenance: Relatively uncomplicated design, easy to maintain and repair to a certain extent (but note the potential difficulty in sourcing parts for an older machine).
• Kobelco Brand: Kobelco is a reputable construction equipment brand.

Main Applications:

• Urban construction, city construction (extremely limited space).
• Urban public works (pipelines, underground cables, infrastructure repairs...).
• Small and medium-sized civil construction (townhouses, villas...).
• Transportation infrastructure projects (medium and small scale, urban areas).
• Urban landscaping, gardening, parks (areas with limited space).
• Demolition of small-scale structures in urban areas.
• Construction equipment rental (cheaper segment, older machines).
