• Two-pin Grapple (Bucket) for Neater Working -  Fixed with two pins, the grapple has four tilting teeth. With none of the shaking of the one-pin type, there’ s minimum spillage, and the load is swiftly and efficiently placed as desired. Also, dumping does not require so much boom raising, and so cycle times are reduced.
• Unique Angled Shape of 8.2m Boom Makes Dumping Easier -  KOBELCO-designed “bend boom” covers an extensive working range. When dumping loads, it more easily negotiates the sides of a trailer flat bed or the hatch coaming of cargo shipping, for greater speed and efficiency

High cab elevation gives eye point height of over 5 m for excellent view of operations, to boost safety and efficiency. Smooth and speedy cab elevation takes about 20 secs, with little shaking due to the high-precision parallel link motion design and rugged bracket construction. Helps reduce operator fatigue.

Now there’ s a choice of three operating modes. Besides S mode, which strikes a balance between fuel costs and work volumes, and H mode, which prioritizes work volumes, the new ECO mode makes fuel economy the priority. With a new multi-display monitor, ECO mode operation can be checked at a glance.

With the advanced remote monitoring system, machine operational status data and maintenance data can now be managed from a remote laptop, and security is also enhanced. The system shows data on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
