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 construction projects. **Key Highlights (compared to machines in the same segment and time):** * **Ultra-Short Tail Swing (SRD – Special Radius Design):** Ability to rotate 360 degrees completely within a narrow area, superior to conventional short tail excavators, ideal for ultra-tight 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):** Kobelco has a reputation for durability, but the actual condition of a 2009 model needs careful inspection. * **Easy Operation:** Intuitive control system, user-friendly for mini excavator operators. * **Fuel Efficiency (relatively):** Kobelco's engine and hydraulic technology focuses on fuel efficiency in the mini machine segment. * **Basic Maintenance:** Compact, simpler design, potentially easier to maintain and repair to a certain extent (but note the potential difficulty in finding parts for older machines and the special SRD series). * **Kobelco Brand:** Kobelco is a reputable construction equipment brand, especially in the excavator field. **Main Applications:** * Ultra-tight urban construction sites, alleys, densely populated residential areas (where conventional excavators have difficulty accessing). * Urban utility projects (digging pipelines, underground cables, infrastructure repairs in confined spaces). * Urban landscaping, gardening, parks (areas with extremely limited space). * Very small-scale civil construction (house repairs, landscaping of townhouses...). * Construction in factories, warehouses (where aisle space is limited). * Demolition of small-scale structures in urban areas (confined spaces). * Construction equipment rental (ultra-short mini machine segment, serving special projects).
