NEW TIER 4

FINAL EXCAVATORS TO PRODUCT RANGE

As discussion continues around Australian engine
emission regulatory requirements, Kobelco
Construction Machinery Australia is ensuring its
dealers and customers have the option to choose
between Tier 3 and Tier 4 Final excavator models.

In announcing the addition of models featuring Tier
4 Final engines, Kobelco General Manager of Sales &
Service Doug McQuinn said that the brand has a long
history of pioneering fuel-efficient technology that
balances environmental initiatives in its excavator line.
“This new range of Tier 4 Final compliant excavators
is the next step in our engineering evolution, and
these machines meet the requirements of NSW EPA
licensed businesses,” he says.

Models configured with Tier 4 Final engines range
from mini through to heavy excavators and include
the recently-announced 13-tonne SK135SR-5 mono
boom and offset boom excavators, which are
particularly popular for jobs requiring continuous
digging, swinging, and loading in tight spaces.

Renowned for their durability and strength, Kobelco

excavators come with a great warranty. Mini

excavators up to 5.5 tonnes have 4 year / 4,000 hour

full warranty, and excavators 7 tonne and larger have

a 2 year / 3,000 hour full factory warranty. Further, all

Kobelco large excavators have 4 year / 6,000 hour

extended power train (EPT) warranty.

“We anticipate increased demand in the Australian

market for Tier 4 Final excavators, but for customers

who prefer Tier 3 machine technology, we’re still able

to offer the market that option,” Doug says.

“Either way, the launch of this new range gives the

customer choice and ensures that there’s a Kobelco

machine fit for purpose. Kobelco’s independent and

experienced dealer network means that, when buying

excavators, customers can receive and depend on

quality advice and service.”
