KOBELCO Introduces the SK1300DLC-11

KOBELCO announced the SK1300DLC-11 demolition excavator.

The SK1300DLC-11 features a 512 hp Isuzu Tier IV Final engine, a wide range of boom and arm combinations and is purpose built for building demolition.

With variable front configurations, this machine has a maximum reach of 130 ft. The machine's mass operating weight is 302,000 lbs. but can be disassembled for easy transport. The minimum transport weight of the base machine without the counterweight is 134,000 lbs. with no single component weight exceeding 39,800 lbs. making it easy to move the machine.

Built for Demolition

The machine comes with a separate demo digging front, 3-piece high reach and 4-piece high reach multi-configuration front attachment.

The high reach attachment comes with transport and storage stands, water spray system, electronic on-board lubrication system, quick hitch piping, boom and arm safety valves, 2-piece removable layered counterweight, removable track system with remote trans-lifter, energy saving ECO-Mode, in cab hydraulic pressure release, combination rotation and nibbler breaker with proportional hand controls, case drain line and filter, reversable fan and has unlimited power boost mode (for separate boom attachment).

Built for Comfort

The -11 series feature a cabin environment that has enhanced ergonomics and safety features with ample cabin space and good visibility, according to KOBELCO. The operator's pilot levers move horizontally without arching of the wrist, while also providing shorter lever strokes to deliver a swifter, more precise movement, according to KOBELCO.

Built for demolition, the sound suppressed 30-degree tilting cabin comes with an emergency lowering system. Includes a 270-degree camera system with switchable rear-under view camera or high reach attachment view, rear view mirrors, LED work lights, rear swing flashers, demolition Level II FOPS guard and bar type front guard, P5A safety glass, falling object deflector, cab interference prevention system, stability tip-over warning and public address speaker system for on the ground hands-free communication.

Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed towards the operator to maximize comfort. On the right-side console there is a jog dial that integrates multiple functions into a single user interface with the large 10-in. color monitor.

This menu screen facilitates reading of valuable information including work mode, maintenance intervals and fuel consumption. To top it off, the cabin is equipped with an FM/AM, AUX, Bluetooth, hands-free telephone radio, smartphone holder, USB charger and a 12V power outlet.

Added Value

KOBELCO has decades of experience in building demolition and therefore includes more standard features. KOBELCO built the machine with an ability to use larger tools at greater heights. The KOBELCO commitment to value and quality includes a standard limited full machine warranty of 3-years or 3000-hours and a 5-year or 3000-hours engine emission warranty. This warranty is provided through KOBELCO and its dealer network.

The 512 hp. Isuzu 6WG1 engine meets current U.S EPA Tier IV Final and E.U Stage V emission requirements. The engine features a 15.7-liter, inline 6-cylinder, known for its power and reliability in demanding applications, according to Isuzu.
