Crawler Excavator KOBELCO SK70SRD – 2009

KOBELCO SK70SRD (2009) is a mini crawler excavator from Kobelco's Short Radius (SR) series. A key feature of the SR series is its **short tail swing** design, optimized for work in extremely confined spaces. The SK70SRD (2009) is one of Kobelco's first short tail swing mini excavator models, offering high flexibility for urban and residential projects. **Key Highlights (compared to machines in the same segment and era):** * **Ultra-Short Tail Swing (SRD – Special Radius Design):** Ability to rotate 360 degrees completely within a narrow range, superior to conventional short tail machines, ideal for ultra-narrow urban construction sites. * **Stable Performance:** Kobelco diesel engine and hydraulic system provide efficient working performance for mini excavator digging tasks. * **Reliability (to a certain extent):** The Kobelco brand is known for its durability, however, for a 2009 model, the actual condition needs to be carefully checked. * **Easy Operation:** Intuitive control system, user-friendly for mini excavator operators. * **Fuel Efficiency (relatively):** Kobelco engine and hydraulic technology focuses on fuel efficiency in the mini machine segment. * **Basic Maintenance:** Compact, simpler design, making maintenance and repair easier to a certain extent (but be mindful of the ability to find parts for older machines and the special SRD series). * **Kobelco Brand:** Kobelco is a reputable construction machinery brand, especially in the field of excavators. **Main Applications:** * Ultra-narrow urban construction sites, alleys, densely populated residential areas (where conventional excavators have difficulty accessing). * Urban public works (laying pipelines, underground cables, repairing infrastructure in confined spaces). * Urban landscaping, gardening, parks (areas with extremely limited space). * Very small-scale civil construction (house repairs, landscaping of townhouses, etc.). * Construction in factories, warehouses (where there is limited aisle space). * Demolition of small-scale construction in urban areas (confined spaces). * Construction machinery rental (ultra-short mini machine segment, serving special projects).
