2. Key Technical Features

2.1 High-efficiency Powertrain & Energy-saving System

Equipped with Kobelco's proprietary IES (Integrated Excavator Control System), which precisely matches engine output and hydraulic demand, reducing unnecessary energy loss by more than 10% compared to previous generation models.
Supports multiple working modes: P mode (heavy load high power), E mode (economic energy saving), A mode (auto load matching), and dedicated attachment mode for breakers/shears.
Built-in iNDr (Integrated Noise & Dust Reduction) cooling system reduces dust intake into the radiator, lowers operating noise to 72 dB(A) inside the cabin, and extends radiator service life.

2.2 Precise Hydraulic System

Adopts dual variable displacement piston pumps with total maximum flow of 492 L/min, and pressure compensation valves for each actuator, ensuring smooth composite actions (simultaneous digging, lifting, swinging) without lag, suitable for both heavy-duty excavation and fine grading work.
Optimized swing torque output reduces cycle time for loading operations by 6% compared to peers, improving single-shift work efficiency.

2.3 High Structural Durability

Boom, arm and undercarriage are made of high-strength wear-resistant steel, all key welding points have passed 10,000 hours of fatigue test under extreme working conditions.
Reinforced crawler, track rollers and idlers have 30% longer wear life than ordinary configurations, suitable for long-term work in hard rock and gravel sites.
Standard high-wear-resistant bucket with reinforced cutting edge and teeth, reduces replacement frequency of wearing parts.

2.4 Operator-friendly Cabin

ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) certified cabin for maximum safety.
Spacious interior with fully adjustable air suspension seat, ergonomic pilot control joysticks with low operating force, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts.
7-inch color LCD display shows real-time operating data including fuel consumption, working mode, fault alerts, and maintenance reminders. Standard air conditioning system with multi-directional air vents, USB charging port and sound system are also equipped.

2.5 Low Maintenance Cost

All common maintenance points (engine oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, hydraulic oil filter) are arranged at ground-accessible positions, no need to climb the upper frame for daily inspection.
Equipped with Kobelco Connect remote monitoring system, which supports real-time tracking of operating hours, fuel consumption, fault pre-warning, and remote diagnosis by dealers, reducing unplanned downtime by up to 20%.
Long replacement cycles: hydraulic oil can be replaced every 5,000 working hours, engine oil every 500 hours, greatly reducing long-term operation cost.

3. Application Scenarios

The SK260 is widely used in diversified working conditions:

Civil engineering: road construction, bridge piling, water conservancy project excavation
Mining and quarrying: surface stripping, ore loading and unloading, gravel yard handling
Urban construction: foundation digging, demolition work, muck removal, pipe laying
Agriculture and forestry: land leveling, ditch digging, forest clearing, log handling
It is compatible with a wide range of attachments including hydraulic breakers, log grabs, demolition shears, augers and rippers to meet customized operation demands.

4. Competitive Advantages

8-12% lower fuel consumption than other 25-27 ton medium excavators under the same working conditions, saving thousands of dollars in fuel cost per year for users.
Proven reliability with low failure rate, 3-year residual value is 10-15% higher than the industry average, reducing asset depreciation loss.
Strong adaptability to high altitude, high temperature and cold working conditions, and covers global after-sales service network for timely parts supply and maintenance support.

Optional Configurations

Extended boom/arm (max digging depth up to 10,500 mm), quick coupler, breaker piping, 360° panoramic camera system, heated seat, additional counterweight, etc.

Non flooded

No accident
