Purpose built to meet the demands of the those who require durability, reliability and high performance; the Kobelco material handler and scrap loader models carry on a tradition of quality, according to the company. Powered by a Yanmar Tier IV engine, both versions of the SK260DLC-11 machine exceeds performance expectations and meet all EPA requirements. The four-cylinder Yanmar engine produces 194 hp at 2,200 rpm and minimizes fuel consumption at the same time.

The hydraulic system is designed with functionality in mind, boasting an eight-spool main control valve, four pumps (two variable displacement axial piston pumps, one extra gear pump and one pilot gear pump) and a Boom-to-Arm Regeneration feature that redirects hydraulic oil and pressure between the boom and arm. Both machines have a 106.5 gal. fuel tank and a 115.7 gal. hydraulic oil tank (tank oil level and hydraulic system).
A Commitment to Safety, Comfort
A Heavy-Duty Level II Overhead FOPS Guard is standard and can be tilted open for easy cleaning of the top window. In addition, Rear Swing Flashers and Rear Work Lights, a KOBELCO USA exclusive, are integrated into the counterweight for added safety and visibility on busy job sites. Seven LED lights also are standard to provide additional visibility in low light conditions. A standard 270 degree view three-camera system provides optimal visibility for the operator.
The Cab Interference Prevention System is another standard safety feature that prevents the arm from contacting the body or cab of the machine, using multiple sensors to create an invisible barrier that neither the arm nor tool can cross.
Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed toward the operator to maximize comfort, and the Jog Dial integrates multiple functions into a single user interface with the large 10 in. color monitor. This menu screen facilitates reading of important information including work mode, maintenance intervals and fuel consumption.
