KOBELCO 215SR ACERA CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Kobelco 215SR ACERA excavator is a robust short-radius machine designed for high-performance digging and operational efficiency. Powered by a Tier III-certified Hino JO5E-TA turbocharged diesel engine, it delivers a net power output of 153 hp (114 kW) at 2,000 rpm, ensuring reliable and powerful performance with reduced emissions and fuel consumption. The excavator features an operating weight of approximately 54,700 lbs (24,812 kg), optimized for stable digging and lifting operations. With a maximum digging depth of 21.58 ft (6.59 m) and a maximum reach along the ground of 31.83 ft (9.7 m), the 215SR ACERA balances reach and maneuverability, ideal for urban and confined job sites. Equipped with the Kobelco Integrated Noise Dust Reduction (INDR) system, this model achieves quieter operation by reducing intake and exhaust noise by up to 5 dBA while providing superior air filtration and hydraulic cooling. The excavator incorporates advanced hydraulic controls with Kobelco Intelligent Total Control System (ITCS), enabling smooth operation and precise handling crucial for fine grading tasks. Operators benefit from four selectable power modes—H Mode for heavy digging, S Mode for fuel efficiency, B Mode for one-way flow attachments, and A Mode for two-way flow attachments—allowing optimized performance depending on the job requirements. Additional features include a heavy-duty boom and arm, optional wider undercarriage for specialized tasks, and enhanced breakout and lifting forces with Power Boost and Heavy Lift functions, enhancing productivity and operational versatility. Its short tail swing radius enables safe and efficient use in tight spaces, making it an excellent choice for construction, demolition, and general earthmoving applications.
