Crawler Excavator KOBELCO SK70SRD – 2009

The KOBELCO SK70SRD (2009) is a mini crawler excavator belonging to Kobelco's Short Radius (SR) series. The hallmark 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 Features (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 area, superior to conventional short tail machines, ideal for ultra-tight urban construction.
• Stable Performance: The Kobelco diesel engine and hydraulic system provide efficient working performance for mini excavator tasks.
• Reliability (to a certain extent): Kobelco has a reputation for durability, but the actual condition of a 2009 model needs to be thoroughly checked.
• Easy Operation: Intuitive control system, user-friendly for mini excavator operators.
• Fuel Efficiency (relatively): Kobelco engine and hydraulic technology aims for fuel efficiency in the mini machine segment.
• Basic Maintenance: Compact and simpler design, easier to maintain and repair to a certain extent (but note the potential difficulty in finding parts for older models and the special SRD series).
• Kobelco Brand: Kobelco is a reputable construction equipment brand, especially in the excavator sector.

Main Applications:

• Ultra-narrow urban construction sites, alleys, densely populated residential areas (where conventional excavators have difficulty accessing).
• Urban public works 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 for townhouses, etc.).
• Construction in factories, warehouses (where there is limited aisle space).
• Small-scale demolition in urban areas (confined spaces).
• Construction equipment rentals (ultra-short mini machine segment, serving special projects).
