KOBELCO SK300LC-10 HIGH & WIDE CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Kobelco SK300LC-10 High & Wide excavator is a robust heavy-duty machine optimized for enhanced digging performance and operational efficiency. It features a powerful 252 hp (188 kW) HINO J08EVV-KSDP water-cooled, four-cycle, direct injection turbocharged diesel engine delivering a maximum torque of 729 lb-ft (989 Nm) at 1,600 rpm. The excavator’s operating weight stands at approximately 73,600 lbs (33,400 kg), contributing to stability and lifting capabilities in demanding environments. The SK300LC-10 High & Wide is equipped with a standard boom length of 20.4 ft (6.2 m) and a standard arm length of 10.2 ft (3.1 m), enabling a maximum digging depth of 22.6 ft (6.89 m) and a maximum reach along the ground of 35.7 ft (10.87 m). Bucket capacity is rated at 1.57 cubic yards (1.2 cubic meters) heaped, allowing substantial material handling. The machine achieves a travel speed of up to 3.4 mph (5.5 km/h) in high gear and a gradeability of 70%, highlighting its ability to operate on steep inclines. This model offers advanced hydraulic performance with high hydraulic pressure (heavy lift) generating greater lifting power at close radius, ensuring smooth and steady operation during heavy load handling. Additional features include a low ground pressure of 8.9 psi (61.5 kPa) due to wide 28-inch (700 mm) shoes, which enhances mobility on soft ground. The SK300LC-10 is compliant with EPA Tier IV Final emissions regulations and incorporates technologies such as SCR catalysts for cleaner operation. Its upper structure width is 10.3 ft (3.12 m), designed to maintain stability while providing "High & Wide" capabilities for versatile site accessibility and productivity.
