KOBELCO SK260LC-8 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Kobelco SK260LC-8 is a mid-sized hydraulic crawler excavator engineered for versatile construction and material handling applications. Powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled J05E diesel engine producing 175.7 horsepower at 2,000 rpm, this machine delivers robust digging performance with a maximum bucket digging force of 170 kN and enhanced power boost capabilities reaching 187 kN. The excavator features a two-variable displacement pump system plus one gear pump configuration, delivering 130 gallons per minute at a primary system relief pressure of 4,974.8 psi, ensuring efficient hydraulic operation across all work cycles. With a reference bucket capacity of 1.6 cubic yards and maximum digging depth of 23 feet, the SK260LC-8 excels in deep foundation work and material extraction. The machine achieves a maximum reach along ground of 33.3 feet and maximum vertical wall digging depth of 20.2 feet, providing substantial reach capability for complex jobsite requirements. The all-weather, sound-suppressed steel cab mounted on silicon-sealed viscous dampers ensures operator comfort during extended operation. Operating at a maximum travel speed of 3.7 mph with an operating weight of 55,556.5 pounds, the SK260LC-8 maintains a ground clearance of 1.6 feet and a compact tail swing radius of 10 feet, facilitating maneuverability in confined spaces. The 23.7-inch shoe size distributes ground pressure effectively, minimizing site impact. Advanced features include automatic acceleration/deceleration functions, self-diagnostic electrical systems, and multiple operating modes for optimized fuel consumption and productivity.
