Key Selling Points

✅ Factory Air Conditioning – Cold & Reliable

In hot climates, a functioning A/C is not a luxury – it’s a necessity. This Kobelco SK200‑8 is equipped with the original factory air conditioning system, which has been recently serviced:

• Compressor: strong, no abnormal noises
• Condenser and evaporator coils: cleaned, no blockages
• Refrigerant level: topped up in March 2026
• Blower fan: all speeds functional, air directed properly
• Tested: outlet temperature at 9°C (48°F) on a 32°C day – excellent cooling

You and your operators will stay comfortable during long shifts, improving productivity and safety.

✅ ROPS Certified Cabin – Operator Safety First

The SK200‑8 cabin meets ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) standards. Key safety features:

• Reinforced steel cab frame – tested to withstand rollover forces
• Heavy‑duty top guard – protects from falling debris
• Seatbelt (3‑point) – intact and fully functional
• Emergency exit window – clear opening mechanism
• All glass laminated or tempered – no cracks

For contractors working on sites with safety regulations (e.g., mines, government projects), a ROPS cabin is often mandatory. This machine meets those requirements.

✅ Kobelco’s Fuel‑Saving Technology

The SK200‑8 is equipped with Kobelco’s ITCS (Intelligent Total Control System) which optimizes engine and hydraulic pump output based on load. Result: up to 20% fuel savings compared to conventional systems. At current fuel prices, this can save thousands of dollars per year.

• Operating mode selector: H (heavy), S (standard), L (light), B (breaker) – allows matching power to job
• Auto idle and auto shutdown – reduces unnecessary fuel burn
• Fuel consumption record from previous owner: average 14‑16 L/hour (very efficient for 20t class)

✅ Well‑Maintained Engine & Hydraulics

Engine (Kobelco Hino J05E):
• Cold start: good, no smoke (video available)
• No unusual noises – valve train quiet
• No oil leaks from gaskets or seals
• Oil analysis at 7,000 hours showed wear metals within spec
• Turbocharger – no play, no oil consumption

Hydraulic System:
• Main pump pressure: 34.2 MPa (spec 34.5) – healthy
• Pilot pressure: 3.8 MPa – stable
• All cylinders: minimal drift (less than 2cm in 5 minutes) – acceptable
• No hydraulic leaks from hoses – all original but flexible, no cracks

✅ Undercarriage – 50% Remaining Life

At 7,200 hours, the undercarriage shows moderate wear – typical for a machine used on mixed ground (soil, gravel, some rock).

• Track chains: 50% remaining (adjusters halfway)
• Sprockets: 45% remaining – will need replacement in ~1,500 hours
• Track rollers: 55% remaining – no flat spots yet
• Carrier rollers: 60% remaining
• Front idlers: 50% remaining
• Track shoes (600mm double grouser): 55% remaining

You can expect 1,500‑2,000 hours of work before undercarriage replacement is necessary.

✅ Cab Comfort & Features

Kobelco cabs are known for excellent visibility and ergonomics. This unit’s cab is in very good condition:

• Seat: air suspension (working), fabric intact, no tears
• Monitor: LCD screen with all indicators – no dead pixels
• Joysticks: pilot controls, smooth, no excessive play
• Foot pedals for travel: responsive, no sticking
• Storage compartments: clean, undamaged
• Radio: AM/FM, working
• Wiper and washer: functional front wiper, rear wiper works
• Sun visor: present

Specifications Summary

• Operating weight: ~20,600 kg
• Engine: Hino J05E (6.7L, turbocharged)
• Engine power: 114 kW (153 HP) at 2,050 rpm
• Bucket capacity: 0.8‑1.1 m³ (0.9 m³ bucket included, 40% tooth wear)
• Max digging depth: 6.6 m
