KOBELCO 235SRLC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Kobelco 235SRLC hydraulic excavator is a versatile machine in the 25-ton class, boasting an operating weight of approximately 57,300 lbs. (26,000 kg). It is equipped with a powerful HINO J05E turbocharged, intercooler diesel engine delivering 118 kW (160 PS) at 2,000 rpm, compliant with stringent emissions standards including US EPA Tier III and EU Stage IIIA. The machine features a short tail swing radius of 2.39 m, enabling efficient work in confined spaces while allowing continuous 180° dig, swing, and load operations within a tight working space of just 3.68 meters. The hydraulic system includes two variable displacement piston pumps and one gear pump, with a max combined flow of 2 x 220 L/min plus 20 L/min, producing boom, arm, and bucket pressures up to 34.3 MPa and a power boost mode raising this to 37.7 MPa for enhanced digging force. The 235SRLC offers a maximum digging depth of 6.06 m (approximately 22 ft) and a maximum reach of 9.85 m from the swing centerline, supporting a bucket capacity range of 0.51 to 0.93 m³ ISO heaped. Bucket digging force reaches up to 157 kN with power boost engaged, while arm crowding force is rated at 112 kN. Its advanced design includes a compact upperstructure with minimal tail swing overhang of 235 mm, improving maneuverability and reducing risk of collision. Travel speed reaches 5.5 km/h with a drawbar pull force of 243 kN, enabling robust movement across rough terrain. Overall dimensions include a width to outside of tracks of approximately 3 m and a boom length of 5.65 m. This model combines strong digging performance, precise hydraulic control, and efficient fuel consumption to deliver superior productivity on various job sites.
